71 year-old Caucasian male, resident of Campinas - SP, diagnosed with diffuse systemic sclerosis, clinical condition initiated by skin stiffening in lower limbs for seven months, which spread three months ago to the upper (hands and forearms) and, one month ago, chest abdomen; addition confirmatory laboratory exams, such as research anti-nuclear factor reagent 1:640 titration dense fine speckled pattern anti-topoisomerase antibodies I (Anti-Scl 70) also reagent, was under outpatient...
<h3>Background</h3> Inflammatory activity may be quantified using Spectral Doppler (sD), which detects power (PD) signal through the internal resistance index (RI) in microcirculation<sup>1,2</sup>. <h3>Objectives</h3> Assess RI nail bed longitudinal (LRI) and transverse (TRI) planes; correlate with presence of PD ungueal (NPD), change standard trilaminar appearance (NGS), measure (mNGS) clinical measurements. <h3>Methods</h3> In this cross-sectional study, 28 patients psoriatic arthritis...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease, which has great prevalence and uncommon manifestations of opportunistic infectious diseases, mainly due to the multiple abnormalities immune system immunosuppressive effect medications used in its treatment.

Pulmonary complications from autoimmune diseases are rare in the pediatric age group, but with significant morbidity, compromising patients’ quality of life adulthood. The objective this study was to evaluate presence interstitial lung disease rheumatologic patients connective tissue diseases, who were submitted investigation through ultrasound during outpatient follow-up. medical records 40 reviewed April 2014 December 2021. evaluated those had already undergone and presented changes...
<h3>Background</h3> High frequency linear probe ultrasound (US), besides allowing a better resolution in the gray scale (GS), is able to characterize colored images standards through RGB image histogram<sup>1</sup>. These develop information of additive primary colors, such as Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B). On other hand, 3D US<sup>2</sup> can define anatomical cuts, with more details, yielding precise measures, together 2D US. two methods are echotextural damages, thus enhancing detection...
