In this study, we evaluated whether ultrasound (US) subdeltoid bursitis (SB) and/or biceps tenosynovitis (BT) presence at baseline could represent a predictive marker of response to standard therapy after 12 months followup, and positive US examination highlight the need higher maintenance dosage glucocorticoids (GC) 6 in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR).Sixty-six consecutive PMR underwent bilateral shoulder evaluations before starting followup. Absence girdle pain morning...
<h3>Background</h3> The genetic background has been demonstrated to be important in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritides. Several genes besides HLA-B27 have shown correlated development several clinical manifestations within spectrum It is known that other factors (gender, body mass index) can influence response treatments spondyloarthritis. <h3>Objectives</h3> We aimed evaluate frequency polymorphism enhancer HS1,2A Ig Heavy 39 regulatory region, previously described as associated...
Tamoxifen is an antiestrogen drug commonly used to treat breast cancer and has been shown cause prolongation of the electrocardiographic QT interval in humans. Because could influence cardiac arrhythmias, we sought determine electrophysiologic mechanism(s) underlying tamoxifen action. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was study effect on delayed rectifier (I<sub>Kr</sub>), inward (I<sub>K1</sub>), transient outward current (I<sub>to</sub>), L-type calcium (I<sub>Ca</sub>) rabbit...
Cervical spine involvement frequently occurs in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) even absence of sacroiliitis. Long disease duration, high activity the first five years and presence peripheral are all predictors this peculiar articular involvement. We describe case a PsA patient, an initial oligoarthritis pattern highly responsive to etanercept monotherapy long-standing clinical remission, who developed cervical bone marrow edema odontoid process early atlo-axial instability. Notably,...
