Introduction:
Interventional procedures are highly useful and applicable in Rheumatology for degenerative and inflammatory diseases such a therapeutic alternative available for our patients.
Objective:
To describe the current clinical characteristics of interventional procedures in Rheumatology departments in our country and to identify the trai...
Background
Drugs used to treat rheumatic disease are associated with pneumotoxicity (drug-induced lung disease), but little is known about associated risk factors.
Aim
To determine expert physician-perceived risk factors for developing pneumotoxicity in patients with rheumatologic conditions.
Methods
A modified international 3-tier Delphi exercis...
Background
The SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) is a rare disease (<1/10,000) with skin and musculoskeletal manifestations. The typical dermatological manifestations (DM) are palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), vulgar psoriasis (VP) and severe acne (SA). Musculoskeletal manifestations (ME) are diverse, including t...
Background
The development of biologic and targeted synthetic (b/ts)DMARDs contributed to improved treatment outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, high medications costs may limit their use. Previously we showed that in countries with a lower socioeconomic status (SES), b/tsDMARDs were prescribed to fewer patients than in countries with h...
Background
The SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) is a rare disease (<1/10,000) with multiple cutaneous and musculoskeletal manifestations [1]. The most common dermatological manifestations are palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) and severe acne (SA). Musculoskeletal manifestations are diverse, including the thoracic...
Objectives
To evaluate effectiveness and safety of certolizumab pegol (CZP) in uveitis due to immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID).
Methods
Multicentre study of CZP-treated patients with IMID uveitis refractory to conventional immunosuppressant. Effectiveness was assessed through the following ocular parameters: best-corrected visual acuit...
Background
Adalimumab remains the only biologic approved by the EMA and FDA for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis [1-6]. The reports on efficacy of other anti-TNF drugs such as Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) are scarce.
Objectives
to determine the efficacy and safety of CZP in refractory uveitis secondary to Immune-mediated Inflammatory Diseases (...
A case is presented of an atypical manifestation of localized scleroderma. The patient is a 30 year-old Caucasian women with localized facial scleroderma “coup de sabre”, with clinical stability for years. She was seen in the Emergency Department due to a sudden lack of sensitivity in her left side, and was treated as a stroke. Complementary tests...
Background
Prognosis of non-infectious refractory uveitis has improved markedly with biologic therapy (BT)
(1-5
). Most data are with monoclonal anti-TNF drugs, especially Adalimumab (ADA) and Infliximab (IFX). However, there is not enough evidence for the use of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP).
Objectives
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CZP in r...
Resumen
A continuación, presentamos el caso de una paciente con una manifestación atípica para esclerodermia localizada. Mujer de 30 años con esclerodermia localizada facial en «coup de sabré», con estabilidad clínica de las lesiones durante años. En el 2017 acude al servicio de urgencias por un cuadro de alteración sensitiva en hemicuerpo izquierd...
Background
The use of biological therapies during pregnancy has been contraindicated since the beginning of the use of these drugs. In recent years several studies have demonstrated the minimal-to-no transfer of certolizumab pegol (CZP) to the placenta and breast milk, which has allowed its approval for use in pregnancy and breastfeeding if clinica...
Objective
To analyse and compare changes in the collection of clinical variables after the implementation in daily practice of an evaluation checklist for patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Methods
An observational study was performed based on medical records review. The number and type of variables of the...
Background
Infliximab and adalimumab therapy has significantly improved the prognosis of patients with non-infectious refractory uveitis. However, there is not enough evidence for the use of other anti-TNF drugs such as Certolizumab Pegol (CZP).
Objectives
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CZP in uveitis secondary to Immune-Mediated Inflammat...
Background
Spondyloarthropathies are a heterogeneous group of similar diseases, with interrelated clinical manifestations, such as Psoriasis Arthritis (APs) and Ankylosing Spondylitis (EA). There are different treatments for this group of pathologies.
Objectives
It is very important to differentiate between those that present predominantly axial (...
Background
Secukinumab inhibits the interaction between Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) and its receptor. Clinical trials have demonstrated good data in efficacy and safety in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) as first biological choice or inadecuate response to other biological in SpA. However there is few evidence in real clinical practice.
Objecti...
The novel coronavirus (Sars-CoV-2) pandemic has spread rapidly, from December to the end of March, to 185 countries, and there have been over 3,000,000 cases identified and over 200,000 deaths. For a proportion of hospitalized patients, death can occur within a few days, mainly for adult respiratory distress syndrome or multi-organ dysfunction synd...
Objective:
To analyse and compare changes in the collection of clinical variables after the implementation in daily practice of an evaluation checklist for patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Methods:
An observational study was performed based on medical records review. The number and type of variables of...
Background
Nowadays, despite international and national guidelines on the evaluation and management of spondyloarthritis (SpA), several studies have depicted a sub-optimal assessment of these diseases.
Objectives
To analyze the feasibility and changes in the collection of clinical measures after the implementation in daily practice of a checklist...
Background
Radioactive synoviorthesis (RS) is the intra-articular injection of a colloidal suspension of particles marked with a radioisotope that selectively irradiates the synovial membrane, respecting bone and cartilage. The radiocolloid is phagocytosed by type 2 synoviocytes of the synovial membrane, causing fibrosis and decreased production of...
We present the case of a young woman with ANCA positive vasculitis and infammatory pseudotumor as a granulomatous manifestation, who had a good response to surgical removal and mycophenolate mofetil.
