Purpose: To determine the value of lung ultrasound (LUS) compared to high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in early diagnosis interstitial disease (ILD) patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients and Methods: An observational prospective study was performed. Were included respiratory symptoms or/and, crackles auscultation during medical consultation. All underwent chest X-rays, LUS, HRCT,and function tests. Results: A total 192 RA were included. Mean duration 16.8 ± 11.1 years....
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease of autoimmune origin and occurs most frequently between the ages 40 60. RA associated with comorbidities such as sexual disorders sleep that affect patient's quality life.
La artritis reumatoide (AR) es una enfermedad crónica de origen autoinmune y se presenta con mayor frecuencia entre los 40 60 años. AR asocia a comorbilidades como trastornos sexuales del sueño que afectan la calidad vida paciente.

Experimental models suggest the use of different therapy protocols in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as modulators on periodontal condition. This study evaluated effects conventional drug treatment and anti-TNF patients with RA microbiological condition, establishing association markers infection indexes rheumatic activity.One hundred seventy nine individuals were (62 anti-TNF-. 115 only DMARDs). The evaluation included plaque gingival indexes, bleeding probing (BOP), clinical attachment loss...
We determined whether rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) can predict remission or severe disability in arthritis (RA) patients treated with anti-tumor necrosis (TNF) alpha drugs.We performed a cohort study based on the clinical data from referral center for treatment of RA Bogotá, Colombia, were included aged ≥18 years diagnosis an active disease whom scheme was begun anti-TNF medication, minimum follow-up time 12 months. Disease activity Rheumatoid...

This study aimed to compare the clinical response at 36 months and evaluate adverse events in a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated etanercept, infliximab, or adalimumab.An observational retrospective was performed. Patients older than 18 years active arthritis, for which physician had initiated treatment scheme adalimumab, were included study. The follow-up conducted through least trimestral evaluations during course months. Outcomes evaluated Disease Activity Score 28,...
Biologics have improved the treatment of rheumatic diseases, resulting in better outcomes. However, their high cost limits access for many patients both North America and Latin America. Following patent expiration biologicals, availability biosimilars, which typically are less expensive due to lower development costs, provides additional options with diseases. The biosimilars American countries is evolving, differing regulations clinical indications. objective study was present consensus...
<h3>Background:</h3> In Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the use of bDMARD (biological) medications is considered among treatment options as part control disease activity. Pharmacovigilance programs deals with detection, evaluation and understanding adverse events medications. recent years there have been reports about increased risk events, especially cardiovascular thrombotic JAK inhibitors. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To make a comparison drug reactions (DAR) (DAE) between inhibitors anti-TNFs in...
