Objective. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between glucocorticoids and damage accrual in SLE.
The aim of this 1-year follow-up study was to compare functional outcome as well clinical differences between patients with first- and multiple-episode bipolar disorder.Bipolar disorder first (n = 60) multiple episodes 59) were recruited from two hospitals in Spain. Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) used assess functioning. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) the Young Mania (YMRS) administered mood symptoms.As expected, episode experienced a greater functioning compared (11.26 ±...
<b>Background:</b> Recent studies suggest that antimalarials have antineoplastic properties. <b>Objective:</b> To investigate whether decrease the risk of cancer in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). <b>Methods:</b> An observational prospective cohort study was carried out. 235 patients were included at time diagnosis (American College Rheumatology criteria). The end point cancer. Kaplan–Meier cancer-free survival curves for treated and not with compared. A Cox proportional hazards model...

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical response combined therapy with hydroxychloroquine and mepacrine in patients systemic lupus erythematosus refractory joint and/or skin disease. Methods Mepacrine added 46 unresponsive treatment following drug combinations: + prednisone immunosuppressive drugs ( n = 24), 16), retinoids 2), alone 1), one belimumab 1) or 1). outcome variable response, either complete partial, based on judgement.

The objective of this report is to analyse retinal changes over a five-year period, assessed by spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), in patients from the Lupus-Cruces cohort treated with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ).SD-OCT screening was performed annually between 2012 and 2017. Average macular thickness (AMT), ganglion cell layer (GCLT) qualitative data pigment epithelium (RPE) external retina (ExtR) were collected prospectively. We compared (first) 2017 (second) SD-OCT.We...
Both acute pancreatitis and diffuse alveolar haemorrhage are rare conditions associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this case report, a 23-year-old female SLE was diagnosed lupus-associated and, within few days despite initial therapy pulse methyl-prednisolone, subsequently suffered an respiratory failure due to haemorrhage. The patient admitted the intensive care unit treatment intensified cyclophosphamide rituximab, which shortly induced complete remission of resolution...
Throughout the 20th century, a remarkable improvement in prognosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been seen, mostly due to better understanding disease and advent new therapies. However, plateau seems have reached. Whilst outcomes related active greatly improved, damage accrual tends be slowly increasing especially secondary high-dose glucocorticoids, which could lead not only increased morbidity but also worse long-term prognosis. Cardiovascular infections still account for...
L-Amino acid oxidase (LAAO) is an enzyme found in snake venom that has multifaceted effects, including the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) during oxidative reactions, leading to various biological and pharmacological outcomes such as apoptosis, cytotoxicity, modulation platelet aggregation, hemorrhage, neutrophil activation. Human neutrophils respond LAAO by enhancing chemotaxis, phagocytosis, releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS) pro-inflammatory mediators. Exosomes cellular...
