Nontraumatic osteonecrosis continues to be a challenging problem causing debilitating major joint diseases. The etiology is multifactorial, but steroid- and alcohol-induced contribute more than two thirds of all cases with genetic risk factors playing an important role in many other cases, especially when they hypercoagulable states. While the exact mechanisms remain elusive, new insights have emerged from research last decade that given us clearer picture pathogenesis nontraumatic femoral...

Patients with autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD) have an increased susceptibility to infections due their compromised immune systems the use of immunosuppressive therapies. Infections are a leading cause morbidity mortality in these patients, emphasizing need for strategies such as infection control vaccination prevent avoidable harm both patients healthcare workers. This study aims provide expert consensus on screening guidelines AIIRD patients. A task force experts from...
To assess the impact of severe COVID-19 in patients with immune-mediated rheumatic diseases (im-RD) and compare their morbidity, mortality, hospitalization issues, post-COVID-19 sequelae, financial burden those without im-RD. We conducted a retrospective case-control study that included 132 consecutive im-RD who visited Rheumatology Department public hospital Emirate Dubai were hospitalized for infection between March 1st, 2020, December 31st, 2021, (cases). 264 age- sex-matched matched-I...
: Diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is generally challenging due to nonspecific symptom presentation and several potential contributing conditions. Timely diagnosis PAH very important as the disease progressive in nature associated with increased morbidity mortality. Therefore, implementation appropriate strategies that can reduce delay PAH, increase awareness among primary healthcare practitioners, expedite referral specialists, are crucial. Patients systemic sclerosis,...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a frequent complication of connective tissue diseases (CTDs), such as systemic sclerosis (SSc), mixed disease, lupus erythematosus (SLE), and, to lesser extent, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren syndrome. Connective disease-associated PAH (CTD-PAH) the second most common cause PAH, following idiopathic form PAH. Nearly 15%–30% patients with SSc develop have very poor prognosis survival rates compared Also, majority these present...
