Renal flares are common in lupus nephritis (LN), and class switch is thought to be characteristic. There no agreement on indications for performing a repeat renal biopsy. Our objective was retrospectively review patients who had more than one biopsy performed clinical indications, analyse clinical, pathological treatment changes after successive biopsies.Forty-five with LN or biopsies were included, total of 116 biopsies.Of the 71 biopsies, transition occurred 39 (54.9%). When having...
Studies regarding the epidemiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are lacking in Argentina. Our purpose was to estimate incidence and prevalence SLE a university hospital-based health management organisation Buenos Aires (HIMCP).For calculation, population at risk included all adult members HIMCP, with continuous affiliation for least 1 year from January 1998 2009. Each person followed until he/she voluntarily left death or finalisation study. Multiple methods case finding were used...
This study aimed to examine different force-time derived variables of the countermovement jump (CMJ) in adult, male basketball players competitive levels and playing positions. At beginning pre-season, 78 from two (professional semi-professional) completed a CMJ test on force plate. Linear mixed models were used compare total 21 metrics across Professional jumped significantly higher (p = 0.022) than semi-professionals. No differences observed related eccentric phase. Four concentric phase...
