Methods A total 270 outpatients RA were enrolled a prospective cross‐sectional study. The underwent clinical evaluation application HAQ SF‐36 questionnaires. activity was evaluated using DAS28 score. FM diagnoses made according to...
Background A positive association of chronic exposure to alcoholic beverages with blood pressure and the prevalence hypertension has been described in epidemiological surveys, but influence time elapsed since last ingestion this setting was not demonstrated. Design cross-sectional, population-based survey. Methods In total 1089 adults from Porto Alegre, randomly selected a population-based, multi-stage probability sample, were interviewed at home. The average daily alcohol intake each...
Objective: To describe the pattern of alcoholic beverage consumption and prevalence at risk drinking behaviors, as well their association with demographic socioeconomic factors in adult population Porto Alegre, a southern Brazilian city. Method: In cross-sectional, population-based, multistage random sampling study, 1,091 (600 female) individuals (92% those eligible) were selected interviewed home.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) are a major cause for concern in public health and the main causes of sick leave. Treatments WMSD have given disappointing results; prevention is best strategy, but results preventive measures not been consistent. To our knowledge there few studies literature that evaluated impact specific program aimed at preventing on quality life employed persons. One hundred one clerical production workers steel trading company were enrolled an open-label...
Introduction In view of the method diagnosing sarcopenia being complex and considered to be difficult introduce into routine practice, European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) recommends use SARC-F questionnaire as a way assessment treatment clinical practice. Only recently, some studies have turned their attention presence systemic sclerosis (SSc).There is no data about performance other screening tests for this population. Objective To compare accuracy SARC-F,...
Abstract Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare chronic autoimmune disease with heterogeneous manifestations. In the last decade, several clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate new treatment options for SSc. The purpose of this work update recommendations Brazilian Society Rheumatology in light evidence available pharmacological management Methods A systematic review including randomized (RCTs) predefined questions that were elaborated according Patient/Population,...
To describe and analyze a new protocol for the extraction of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) use in clinical practice compare this technique with methods that have been previously described medical literature.We extracted PRP from 20 volunteers using four different protocols (single spin at 1600 ×g, single 600 double 300 700 900 ×g). In another group 12 individuals, we our (named 'turn down-turn up') consisting (200 ×g ×g) closed system standard laboratory equipment (including an ordinary...
This multicentre study aimed to investigate the overall mortality of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) compare CPFE-SSc characteristics with those other SSc subtypes (with interstitial lung disease-ILD, or neither).Chest CTs, anamnestic data, immunological profile function tests patients were retrospectively collected. Each chest CT underwent a semiquantitative assessment blindly performed by three radiologists. Patients clustered four groups:...
Abstract Systemic sclerosis ( SS c) is a connective tissue disease characterized by fibrotic, immunological and vascular abnormalities. Nuclear factor‐ kB NFKB ), as key transcription factor involved in the regulation of immune responses, appears to be good candidate for studies on pathogenesis autoimmune diseases, well interleukin‐10 IL ‐10) polymorphism, which other have suggested an association with c. Our objective was study ‐10 gene polymorphisms One hundred fifty‐one c patients 147...
Hypertension (HTN) has frequently been cited as a general risk factor for epistaxis. However, studies dealing with this association have yielded equivocal results. In study, sample of 121 hypertensives (blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg) was selected to evaluate the between severity HTN and previous history Patients an average blood 160/100 mmHg were classified suffering from more severe form compared those less disease (160/100 mm Hg ≤ Hg). The frequency epistaxis did not differ among patients...
The aim of this study was to compare oesophageal abnormalities observed in high-resolution CT with radionuclide transit patients systemic sclerosis. 76 sclerosis were evaluated by and scintigraphy. Residual activity ≥20% (in relation peak activity) at 15 s after the beginning swallow labelled liquid supine position) considered indicative dysfunction. Supra-aortic infra-aortic coronal diameters measured CT. Oesophageal dilatation deemed present when exceeded 10 mm. 19 (25%) had supra-aortic...
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by target‐organ fibrosis and microvascular dysfunction, which can be assessed using nailfold capillaroscopy. Dermoscopy a useful easily performed method for diagnosing skin lesions. To compare conventional capillaroscopy, the gold‐standard (conventional stereomicroscope capillaroscopy; SNFC), with polarized light noncontact dermoscopy (PNCD) nonpolarized contact (NPCD), to evaluate their accuracy in characteristic SSc‐related alterations. The study...
