Objectives To assess the effects of Rituximab (RTX) on skin and lung fibrosis in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) belonging to European Scleroderma Trial Research (EUSTAR) cohort using a nested case-control design. Methods Inclusion criteria were fulfilment American College Rheumatology classification for SSc, treatment RTX availability follow-up data. RTX-treated matched control from EUSTAR database not treated RTX. Matching parameters skin/lung modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS),...
Objectives. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a systematic musculoskeletal ultrasonographic (US) assessment in detection residual disease activity patients with early RA who achieved clinical remission. Methods. We prospectively studied 106 receiving conventional DMARDs according score (DAS)-steered therapeutic protocol over 24-month period. Standard evaluation included clinical, laboratory, functional and (44 joints) US assessment. indexes grey scale (GS) power Doppler (PD)...
Antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD) is a rare clinical condition that characterized by the occurrence of classic triad, encompassing myositis, arthritis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD), along with specific autoantibodies are addressed to different aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (ARS). Until now, it has been unknown whether presence ARS might affect presentation, evolution, outcome ASSD. In this study, we retrospectively recorded time onset, characteristics, clustering triad findings, survival...
To assess fetal and maternal outcomes in women with systemic sclerosis (SSc).Prospectively collected data on 99 SSc from 25 Italian centers were analyzed retrospectively. Women observed during 109 pregnancies (from 2000 to 2011), compared those the general obstetric population (total of 3,939 deliveries). The age at conception was a mean ± SD 31.8 5.3 years, median disease duration 60 months (range 2-193 months).SSc patients, population, had significantly increased frequency preterm...
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an orphan disease characterised by autoimmunity, fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, vasculopathy. SSc may be associated with high morbidity mortality. In this narrative review we summarise results a systematic literature research, which was performed as part European Reference Network on Rare Complex Connective Tissue Musculoskeletal Diseases project, aimed at evaluating existing clinical practice guidelines or recommendations. Only in domains ‘Vascular...
The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a process termed NETosis, avoids pathogen spread but may cause tissue injury. NETs have been found in severe COVID-19 patients, their role disease development is still unknown. aim this study to assess the capacity drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) lung epithelial cells and analyze involvement COVID-19. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid patients showed high concentration that correlates with neutrophils count; moreover, analysis...
Inflammation of synovium is one the hallmarks rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Analysis synovial tissue has increased our understanding RA pathogenesis, aided in identifying potential therapeutic targets and been used response mechanistic evaluation antirheumatic treatments. In addition, studies are ongoing, aimed at identification diagnostic prognostic biomarkers synovium. This paper outlines currently procedures for sampling processing tissue, presents a standardised recommendation to support...
Abstract Objectives The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has imposed considerable restrictions on people’s mobility, which affects the referral of chronically ill patients to health care structures. emerging need for alternative ways follow these up is leading a wide adoption telemedicine. We aimed evaluate feasibility this approach our cohort with CTDs, investigating their attitude adopting telemedicine, even after pandemic. Methods conducted telephonic survey among consecutive referred CTD outpatients’...
To investigate pregnancy outcomes in women with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) the Italian prospective cohort study P-RHEUM.it.
Objectives Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterised by vasculopathy, an aberrantly activated immune system and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Inflammatory chemokines control migration of cells to sites tissue damage; their removal from inflamed essential for resolution the inflammatory response. The atypical chemokine receptor D6 has a critical role in this physiological balance. To explore potential deregulation SSc, expression were compared with that healthy controls (HC)....
Objective Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in whom pulmonary hypertension (PH) is not suspected have been reported to develop an inappropriate increase of artery systolic pressure as estimated by Doppler echocardiography under conditions exercise (pulmonary exercise). We undertook this study investigate whether or any other parameter detectable stress has utility predicting the development PH SSc. Methods enrolled a total 170 patients SSc previously investigated using standard and...
Objective. To describe nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) features of patients with antisynthetase syndrome (AS) and to investigate possible correlations clinical serological the disease. Methods. We retrospectively analyzed NVC images 190 AS [females/males 3.63, mean age 49.7 ± 12.8 yrs, median disease duration 53.7 mos (interquartile range 82), 133 anti-Jo1 57 non–anti-Jo1-positive patients]. For each patient, we examined number capillaries, giant microhemorrhages, avascular areas,...
The role of immunosuppression in SARS-CoV-2-related disease (COVID-19) is a matter debate. We here describe the course and outcome COVID-19 cohort patients undergoing treatment with calcineurin inhibitors. In this monocentric study, data were collected from outbreak Italy up to April 28th 2020. Patients followed at our hospital for solid organ transplantation or systemic rheumatic disorders (RMDs) on inhibitor (CNI)-based therapy. Selected referred North Italy. aim study was evaluate...
