Immunosuppressive Drugs in Early Systemic Sclerosis and Prevention of Damage Accrual. [PDF]

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)
Objective Organ damage in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in individual organs such as the lungs may be prevented by receiving immunosuppressive drugs (ISs). A new measure of global organ damage, the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Damage Index (SCTC‐DI), has allowed us to investigate whether receiving ISs may reduce global organ damage ...

Evaluation of sweating responses in patients with systemic connective tissue disorders using the quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test

Journal of Cutaneous Immunology and Allergy, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 208-216, December 2022., 2022
We investigated 85 patients on the relationship between the axon reflex sweat volume or the reaction time and Raynaud's phenomenon, skin symptoms and patient background. Most patients did not show a decrease in sweating, but one in three patients showed less sweating in summer than in winter.

Obliterative portal venopathy: A neglected and probably misdiagnosed disease with peculiar etiology in South America

JGH Open, Volume 6, Issue 12, Page 904-909, December 2022., 2022
Classically described in the group of non‐cirrhotic portal hypertension, obliterative portal venopathy (OPV) causes are still unknown. Our aim is to describe the characteristics of 43 OPV patients and potential risk factors. Clinically significant portal hypertension was found in 28% of cases. The most frequent indication for liver biopsy was elevation

Clinical characteristics of myasthenia gravis (MG) patients developing other autoimmune diseases after thymectomy from one single center cohort

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 135-142, January 2023., 2023
A total of 445 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients in which thymectomy was performed were included in this cohort. Nineteen patients (4.3%) developed a new autoimmune disease (AD) after thymectomy. The most common types of new onset ADs after thymectomy were Hashimoto's thyroiditis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which were different from those before ...

Screening and characterization of myositis‐related autoantibodies in COVID‐19 patients

Clinical and Translational Science, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 140-150, January 2023., 2023
Abstract An efficient host immune response against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2, COVID‐19) appears to be crucial for controlling and resolving this viral infection. However, many studies have reported autoimmune characteristics in severe COVID‐19 patients.

Neurological autoimmune diseases following vaccinations against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2): A follow‐up study

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 463-473, February 2023., 2023
In this study we define long‐term characteristics of various neurological autoimmune disorders encountered after SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccinations. Long‐term outcome was favorable in most cases. Re‐vaccinations were well‐tolerated and should be considered on an individual risk/benefit analysis.

Synchrotron-based near-field photothermal microspectroscopy: Development of a quantitative nanohistology set-up with expansion of the infrared capability 2 [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
The purpose was two-fold: To explore the capability of the Diamond Synchrotron infra-red so as to include near-field photothermal microspectroscopy (PTMS); and Toward a quantitative nanohistology - investigation of scleroderma using synchrotron radiation (mu- FTIR). With recent advances in AFM, the integration of an IR temperature-based system on an IR
