Abstract Background Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) offers an opportunity for better treatment outcomes. In real-life settings, grasping this might depend on access to specialized care. We evaluated the effects of early versus late assessment by rheumatologist diagnosis, initiation and long-term outcomes RA under conditions. Methods Adults meeting ACR/EULAR (2010) or ARA (1987) criteria were included. Structured interviews conducted. The was deemed “early” when first second physician...
There is increasing evidence that neurofilament light chain (NF-L) can be considered as a biomarker for neuro-axonal damage. This polypeptide released into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood, where it quantified. The concentration of NF-L elevated in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) psychiatric disorders. We aimed to investigate levels CSF from treated MS relationship depression or anxiety. study involved three groups: control group (individuals without inflammation),...
A critical role has been proposed for the switch from non-cytophilic IgG2 to cytophilic antibodies of IgG1 and IgG3 subclasses observed in humoral immune responses Plasmodium falciparum some Africans. These Africans have acquired clinically immunity naturally, after several years exposure holo-endemic malaria. In present study, possibility that life-long low levels malarial endemicity may be associated with changes IgG-subclass composition P. was investigated a native Amazonian community....
