To determine the prevalence of pulmonary complications in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS), and to identify risk factors prognosis associated with involvement pSS patients. A total 1341 hospitalized patients (853 488 secondary [sSS]) were retrospectively reviewed. Of these, 165 pSS-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) analyzed recruited as a study group. Eighty-four without organ damage included control One hundred sixty-five (19.34%) from group 126 (25.82%) sSS presented involvement....
Aim of the study was to determine characteristics and prognosis, identify risk factors for mortality in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) interstitial lung disease (pSS-ILD).A total 1422 SS were screened 178 pSS-ILD recruited. The medical records outcomes retrospectively reviewed. Overall survival case control performed explore predictors death.Among patients, 87.1% women. Mean age 61.59 ± 11.69-year-old. Median duration 72.0 (24.0, 156.0) months. Nonspecific pneumonia predominant...
Abstract Aim This study investigated the common initial clinical presentations of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and explored differences between sicca non‐sicca onset pSS‐ILD patients. Method A total 1341 SS patients hospitalized 2003 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. Of them, 102 analyzed recruited to examine onset. Results Fifty‐one percent presented Although mean diagnosis time was equal, only 4% diagnosed pSS at versus 34% ( P = 0.000)....
Abstract Background Shorter telomere length (TL) has been associated with poor health behaviors, increased risks of chronic diseases and early mortality. Excessive shortening is a marker accelerated aging can be influenced by oxidative stress nutritional deficiency. Plasma n6:n3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio may impact cell aging. Increased dietary intake marine n-3 PUFA reduced attrition. However, the effect plasma on leukocyte (LTL) its interaction genetic variants are not well...
Current methods of assessing adherence are inaccurate. Electronic monitoring devices (EMDs) may more accurately assess adherence, but not currently used in practice. The design, methods, and participant baseline characteristics described for a pilot trial the effects an EMD on asthma medication pediatric population.This was pilot, randomized, controlled children with persistent managed daily inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Seventy-five were randomized 2:1 to receive either two EMDs (one ICS...
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects acupuncture on diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD). Methods: This compared 30 cases in group with 15 sham (n = 45 total). were observed urodynamic measurements, as well a variety symptoms associated DBD. Results: In group, five six measures (maximal detrusor pressure, compliance, maximal capacity, volume at desire void and urge void) demonstrated significant improvement (p < 0.05, 0.01) over 15-day treatment period. Only...
Poor adherence to daily inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) is an important factor contributing asthma morbidity. Assessing in clinical settings using self-reported often overestimates actual adherence. Electronic monitoring devices (EMDs) are objective means of assessing adherence, but not routinely used practice. Here, we aimed establish rates ICS EMDs inner-city, minority population the Bronx, NY, and compare two methods with EMD-measured
Abstract Neovascularization is the leading cause of vision loss in retinopathy prematurity (ROP). Inflammation and myeloid cells are involved retinal angiogenesis. However, underlying mechanisms how control neovascularization ROP remain unknown. We others previously reported that suppressor cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) induced retinopathy. To investigate whether regulate angiogenesis via SOCS3 ROP, we used lineage specific loss-of-function (conditional knockout, cKO) mice gain-of-function...
