Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar o manejo da úlcera gástrica, abordando diagnóstico, terapêutica clínica e intervenções cirúrgicas, com ênfase nas diretrizes mais recentes de atualizações científicas. A gástrica resulta do desequilíbrio entre fatores agressores protetores mucosa gastrointestinal, destaque para a infecção por Helicobacter pylori uso anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais (AINEs). Entre as complicações, destacam-se hemorragia digestiva alta perfuração, sendo uma das causas...
Background . Due to the variety of functions that galectins (Gal) possess, it is clear they participate in pathogenesis rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although some studies demonstrate their functions, there still no correlation with clinical data disease, having physiological meaning unknown. Objectives To compare serum levels Gal-1, -4, and -7 patients RA healthy controls correlate them parameters. Methods Serum samples were collected from donors determine -7. Results significantly higher...
<h3>Background</h3> Chikungunya Fever (CHIK) may evolve chronically with joint impairment, often disabling, which leads to a functional and quality of life impact. The CHIK outbreak in Brazil began 2015, reaching its peak 2016, particularly the Northeast country, 2 35 136 reported cases. Since this is first epidemic Brazil, data on persistent post-acute disease are scarce, knowledge fundamental importance defining long-term impact disease. <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate factors associated...
Abstract Objectives To compare the impact of COVID-19 on clinical status and psychological condition in patients with immune-mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRD) infected by SARS-CoV-2 IMRD controls not infected, during a 6-month follow-up. Methods The ReumaCoV Brasil is longitudinal study designed to follow-up for 6 months after (cases) compared no (controls). Clinical data, disease activity measurements current treatment regarding IMRD, outcomes were evaluated all patients. Disease was...

<h3>Background</h3> Antimalarials (AM) have been related to a lower risk and severity of infections in systemic lupus erythematosus [1], but rheumatoid arthritis (RA) the results are not unanimously favorable possible protective effect exerted by AM [2,3]. In our recent study RA patients treated with biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) or JAK inhibitors (JAKi), secondary analysis suggested total (25% reduction) serious (47% concomitant use [4]. <h3>Objectives</h3> To...
<h3>Background</h3> The COVID-19 pandemic has brought uncertainties to rheumatology practice, mainly related the possibility of triggering disease activity after infection in immune mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRD). To date, there are few data literature specifically evaluating this issue. <h3>Objectives</h3> Evaluate IMRD patients 6 months infection, compared pre status. <h3>Methods</h3> ReumaCoV Brasil is a longitudinal study performed at 35 centers designed follow-up for clinical or...
<h3>Background</h3> Golimumab and certolizumab were the last original anti-TNF agents approved in Brazil for treatment rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent studies indicate that is associated with higher risk of infections [1] golimumab better drug survival compared to other [2], although they have not been head-to-head trials. <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate adverse effects course RA patients treated or golimumab. <h3>Methods</h3> BiobadaBrasil a multicentric registry-based cohort study...

Chikungunya (CF) fever is a viral disease transmitted to humans by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, infected virus (CHIKV), causing disabling musculoskeletal symptoms. Some studies have associated levels of vitamin D with symptoms, although this relationship has not yet been studied in CF. The aim present study was analyze and their possible association debilitating
Chikungunya fever (CF) is an infection caused by arbovirus, associated with and arthritis in the acute phase a progression for chronic 15-60% of patients. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) alanine (ALT) are cytosolic mitochondrial enzymes abundant liver but also present other tissues their elevation may reflect cellular tissue damage. This study aimed to investigate relationship between these clinical manifestations CF distinct phases disease.
Chikungunya Fever (CF) is a virus infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes with multiple osteoarticular symptoms and became epidemic in 2015, especially northeast region. Guidelines from the Brazilian Rheumatology Society include corticosteroids anti-malarial drugs as options for management of disease but scientific evidence to support use these poor. The study aimed analyze CF treatment performed reference hospital Recife, Pernambuco.
