Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of rare disorders that can affect the heart. This work aimed to find predictors cardiac involvement in IIM.Multicenter, open cohort study, including patients registered IIM module Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register (Reuma.pt/Myositis) until January 2022. Patients without information were excluded. Myo(peri)carditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, conduction abnormalities, and/or premature coronary artery disease considered.230 included, 163...

Abstract CD4 + T cells mediate rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis through both antibody-dependent and independent mechanisms. It remains unclear how synovial microenvironment impinges on pathogenic functions. Here, we identified a TLR4 follicular helper (Tfh) cell-like population present in the blood expanded fluid. possess two-pronged activity whereby direct engagement by endogenous ligands arthritic joint reprograms them from an IL-21 response, known to sponsor antibody production...
Buscou-se compreender, neste artigo, como ocorreu o processo de implementação das medidas emergenciais determinadas para período pandêmico, considerando-se desenho federativo do Programa Nacional Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) à luz da perspectiva burocracia estadual. Trata-se um estudo caso no governo Rio Grande Norte. Para coleta dados, utilizaram-se técnicas grupo focal e questionários com 55 atores distribuídos nos diferentes níveis política. A configuração resulta em dois ente estadual:...
<h3>Background:</h3> Elderly population with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is increasing. However, these patients are frequently excluded from clinical trials and data on effectiveness safety of biologic Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (bDMARD) scarce. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To assess the persistence 1<sup>st</sup> bDMARD among elderly (≥65 years). <h3>Methods:</h3> Prospective multicenter cohort-study RA starting a registered at Reuma.pt. Demographic disease characteristics, comorbidities,...
<h3>Background</h3> Thrombocytopenia is a frequent hematological manifestation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), usually treated glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants (such as azathioprine and cyclophosphamide), intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or splenectomy. <h3>Case report</h3> A 44-year-old woman diagnosed SLE secondary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome was admitted our hospital, July 2018, presenting severe renal haematological involvement.

The aim this study was to evaluate the frequency TB and latent infection (LTBI), clinical practice, for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients from high low risk incidence endemic countries.This is international, multicenter, cross-sectional, observational data collection Brazil Registry Portugal at REUMA.PT. inclusion criteria were Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis age ≤ 18 years who underwent...
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) are the most common group of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases affecting about 1.5% adult Caucasian population. Low back pain is symptom. The aetiopathogenesis SpA multifactorial, with well-known genetic and environmental contributions. Furthermore, muscle properties might also be involved in pathophysiological process these could modulated by background. Alpha-actinin-3 (ACTN3) Vitamin D receptor (VDR) genes related performance. Our aim was to analyze four SNPs...
<h3>Background</h3> Anti-SSA autoantibodies can be differentiated according to their antigenic target proteins as anti-Ro60 (60 kDa) or anti-Ro52 (52 kDa). Anti-SSA(Ro60) are clearly associated with Connective Tissue Diseases (CTD), but the clinical significance of anti-SSA(Ro52) remains unclear. <h3>Objectives</h3> To analyze disease phenotype patients and/or anti-Ro60. <h3>Methods</h3> Multicenter, cross-sectional study Ro60 positive followed at 10 Rheumatology centers from January 2018...
