Immunostimulatory drugs including immune checkpoint inhibitors and levamisole can induce inflammatory disease vasculitis, rashes, tissue necrosis, arthritis.This prospective cohort study determined the 5-year outcomes of cocaine-levamisole-induced as to survival. Thirty-one consecutive cocaine-levamisole autoimmune patients 45 primary vasculitis were characterized clinical differentiating features, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) status, treatment, presence acute chronic...
ABSTRACT Objective We hypothesized ultrasound (US) guidance improves outcomes of corticosteroid injection the painful shoulder. Methods 30 patients with symptomatic shoulders due to osteoarthritis were randomized glenohumeral 3 milliliters 1% lidocaine and 60 mg triamcinolone acetonide using anterior approach 1) conventional anatomic landmark palpation-guidance or 2) US-guidance. Injection pain (visual analogue scale (VAS)), at outcome (2 weeks 6 months), therapeutic duration,...
An anuric peritoneal dialysis patient with diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, and anasarca developed severe hyperglycemia hypertonicity causing profound neurological manifestations after prolonged continuous use of hypertonic (4.25%) dextrose dialysate. She expired hypotensive shock from a new myocardial infarction soon completion treatment insulin infusion. The degree the presenting far exceeded value expected hyperglycemia. We identified solutions extracellular volume expansion...
Abstract Objective Many indigenous non‐Caucasian populations, including Native Americans, have been reported to higher rates, distinct clinical phenotypes, increased complications, and greater severity of systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, little is known SSc specifically in Americans the American Southwest. This study compared serologic manifestations outcomes non‐Native (non‐Natives) this region. Methods cross‐sectional retrospective included 137 patients (109 [80%] were 28 [20%]...
Inflammatory arthritis frequently affects patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) but musculoskeletal corticosteroid (MSKC) injections are often avoided due to concerns of scleroderma renal crisis (SRC). This study investigated the incidence SRC following MSKC injections.
Certain Hispanic/Latino (Hispanic) populations have been reported to higher rates and severity of systemic sclerosis; however, little is known sclerosis in the American Southwest. This study compared manifestations Hispanics with non-Hispanics New Mexico.This cross-sectional longitudinal included 109 patients followed over a mean 12.6 ± 8.9 years. Subjects were repetitively evaluated including physical examination, echocardiography, chest imaging, serologic testing observed for...
Abstract Background/Objective Non-adherence to recommended medical therapy has been associated with poorer outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The present research investigated the association of non-adherence and cannabis use on renal SLE. Methods This was a prospective 5-year longitudinal outcome study 276 female SLE patients 30.4% who chronically used 69.5% did not. Outcomes were determined at 5 years after enrollment study. Results Cannabis an increased prevalence...
Abstract Background Cockroaches, carriers of pathogenic organisms that cause human and animal disease, typically have access to or pet food in bowls, allowing cockroaches expand their colonies infestations. Hypothesis We hypothesized existing anti-ant technology could be converted anti-cockroach by simple design changes. Methods A base various heights was affixed the bottom an bowl increase distance shield from native height “x” cockroach-resistant “z” . The effects z =0, 12.7, 15.9, 19.1,...
Abstract Objectives This research investigated the prevalence of opioid analgesic use in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods 5-year prospective cohort study 275 SLE focused on prescription and outcome. Associations were determined univariable regression analysis then multivariable models created to determine independent effects dependent variables Results Prescription was common 24% using analgesics chronically 76% not opioids. Opioid users had a higher rate tobacco...
