Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) is challenging, and many conventional biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) have been associated with ILD development or progression. The aim this multicentric retrospective study was to analyze the evolution in Italian RA-ILD patients treated abatacept (ABA).All ABA for at least six months were retrospectively evaluated. Serology, previous concurrent therapies, chest high-resolution computer...
Objective To perform a cost‐effectiveness analysis of mud‐bath therapy (MBT) in addition to usual treatment compared alone patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods An economic evaluation alongside randomized controlled trial was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned receive either 2‐week cycle MBT their or continue routine care alone. The EuroQol 5‐domain questionnaire administered at baseline, 2 weeks, and 3, 6, 9, 12 months. Direct health resource consumption data up...
Objectives To translate the functional index for hand osteoarthritis (FIHOA) into Italian and to evaluate its reliability validity in patients with (HOA). Methods The original French FIHOA was translated according guidelines cross-cultural adaptation then administered 72 outpatients HOA, together visual analogue scale of pain (VAS), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Short Form Survey (SF-36). Test–retest verified by having all fill out version again 1 week later. Item–item analysis...

<h3>Background</h3> We have recently demonstrated that miR-223 is up-regulated in peripheral blood and synovial CD3+T lymphocytes (TL) from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients compared to healthy controls (1,2) suggesting could contribute the pathogenesis. Evidence exists miRNAs may circulate a highly stable form plasma serum (3). <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate levels CD3+TL of RA patients, at baseline (BL) after 6 months biological therapies; sera comparison donors. <h3>Methods</h3>...
Objective: To test whether an association between HCV genotype, HLA class II alleles distribution and extra-hepatic manifestations (EHM ) can be demonstrated in a group of Italian patients with chronic infection . Methods: Sixty affected by EHM were consecutively enrolled. 163 without tested as controls for the prevalence genotypes, while we referred to literature distribution. HCV-RNA was quantified RT-PCR. typing performed using standard microlymphocytotoxicity assay. We used chi-square or...
