Therapeutic options for the treatment of interstitial lung diseases in systemic rheumatic diseases – systemic sclerosis as an example [PDF]
Systemic sclerosis is a multisystem autoimmune disorder characterized by widespread fibrosis, primarily of the skin but also of the lung parenchyma. Interstitial lung disease is one of the most severe manifestations of the disease and a leading cause of ...

State-of-the-art evidence in the treatment of systemic sclerosis
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune connective tissue disease with multi-organ involvement, fibrosis and vasculopathy. Treatment in SSc, including early diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) and the use of organ-specific therapies, has improved, as ...

Oxidative stress-dependent activation of collagen synthesis is induced in human pulmonary smooth muscle cells by sera from patients with scleroderma-associated pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a major complication of systemic sclerosis. Although oxidative stress, intima hyperplasia and a progressive vessel occlusion appear to be clearly involved, the fine molecular mechanisms underpinning the onset and ...

Skin involvement in early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis: an unmet clinical need
Diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) is associated with high mortality resulting from early internal-organ involvement. Clinicians therefore tend to focus on early diagnosis and treatment of potentially life-threatening cardiorespiratory and ...

The role of trigger factors in the development of systemic sclerosis (clinical case)
A clinical case of the development of rapidly progressive systemic sclerosis after repeated coronavirus infection is described. The contribution of occupational hazards, the oncological process and radiation therapy to the pathogenesis of this disease is

Progressive systemic sclerosis in the elderly [PDF]
Summary There is evidence to suggest that the incidence of progressive systemic sclerosis in the elderly is more common than in younger age groups. As in younger patients, late onset cases may have minimal skin changes and this can cause difficulty in diagnosis. The case histories of 2 patients are presented to illustrate these points.
