The aim of this study was to assess the left ventricular diastolic function using conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging in children with familial Mediterranean fever. This study included 29 (13 males and 16 females) patients and 30 healthy subjects as controls. Body mass index was calculated and arterial blood pressure was monitored. After an overnight fast, venous blood samples...... hiện toàn bộ

Although infectious agents such as Staphylococcus aureus have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Wegener’s granulomatosis, the role of bacterial infections in the pathogenesis of other types of small-vessel vasculitides associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) is less clear. We describe a patient who developed a non-granulomatous necrotising small vessel vasculitis and per...... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with anti CD4 monoclonal antibody. Open study of 25 patients with the B-F5 cloneClinical Rheumatology - Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 542-547 - 1992
Wendling, D., Racadot, E., Morel-Fourrier, B., Wijdenes, J.
Twenty-five defined severe RA patients (pts) (17 F, 8 M) were treated in an open study with a CD4 murine monoclonal antibody (Mab) (B-F5 clone, IgG1). Mab's daily dose was 10 mg (1 pt), 15 mg (2 pts), 20 mg (17 pts), 30 mg (4 pts) and 50 mg (1 pt) for 10 days. Tolerance was fair. Clinical improvement occurred during treatment period or within the first month in all but 2 patients, irrespective of ...... hiện toàn bộ

In a previous study, the authors demonstrated that in 17 men with ischaemic atherosclerotic disease the bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck was lower than in matched control subjects. The patients with arterial disease were thinner and were heavier smokers than the controls. Osteoporosis and arterial disease of the lower limbs were perhaps due to common risk factors: tobacco consumption...... hiện toàn bộ
Thyroid involvement in chronic inflammatory rheumatological disordersClinical Rheumatology - Tập 12 - Trang 479-484 - 1993

The association between rheumatological and thyroid disorders has long been known, the most common being the association of rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune thyroiditis. Little is known as to possible thyroid involvement in other rheumatological disease of possible autoimmune aetiology, such as psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. We measured thyroid volume and function as well as th...... hiện toàn bộ
