Comment on 'effects of locally applied water-filtered infrared a irradiation adjunctive to iloprost and carbon dioxide hand baths in patients with systemic sclerosis and severe Raynaud's phenomenon - a randomized controlled trial'.
A Case Series of Raynaud's Phenomenon in the Setting of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors.
Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved oncological outcomes, they can cause a myriad of inflammatory conditions known as immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is a rare rheumatologic irAE that may arise de novo or present as an exacerbation of preexisti…
Clinical characteristics of patients with antisynthetase syndrome and dermatomyositis-type skin involvement: Insights from the Myo-Spain registry.
To characterize the clinical profile of patients with anti-synthetase syndrome (ASyS) presenting with dermatomyositis (DM)-type skin lesions (ASyS-DM-skin) and compare them with patients with ASyS without DM-type skin lesions (ASyS-nonDM-skin) and patients with DM. We performed a cross-sectional stu…
CREST-associated ruptured right MCA aneurysm: A case report and review of the literature.
Intracranial aneurysms associated with systemic sclerosis and Calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, Esophageal dysmotility, Sclerodactyly, and Telangiectasia (CREST) syndrome are rare, and their pathophysiological relationship remains uncertain. We report the case of a 24-year-old male with systemic scl…
The microvascular footprint of lupus: nailfold capillaroscopy findings in Egyptian SLE patients and their link to disease activity, autoantibodies, and digital ischemia.
Microvascular injury is central in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) can noninvasively visualize this damage, but data in Egyptian patients are limited. To characterize NFC patterns in Egyptian SLE versus healthy controls, and to relate capillaroscopic abnormaliti…
