Rev Fac Cien Med Univ Nac Cordoba
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- New research indicates statins may help improve bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.
- The study involved analyzing two groups: postmenopausal women on statins for at least 6 months and a control group not taking statins.
- Results showed that women on statins had significantly higher bone mineral density in key areas compared to those who were not treated, suggesting potential benefits of statins for bone health.
Factors Associated With Mortality in Patients With Immune-Mediated Rheumatic Diseases and COVID-19 From Latin America: Data From Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil.
J Clin Rheumatol
January 2024
Objective: To describe characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients with rheumatic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) from Argentina, Mexico and Brazil, and to assess factors associated with mortality in this population.
Methods: Data from 3 national registries, SAR-COVID (Argentina), CMR-COVID (Mexico), and ReumaCoV-Brasil (Brazil), were combined. Adult patients with IMIDs and SARS-CoV-2 infection were recruited.
Background: Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease with its main target being exocrine glands, and is the connective tissue disease more frequently associated with other autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of another autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD) developed in primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) patients and to describe it's clinical, serological and histologic characteristics.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study.
Clinical and Serological Features in Latin American IgG4-Related Disease Patients Differ According to Sex, Ethnicity, and Clinical Phenotype.
J Clin Rheumatol
September 2022
Background/objective: Data on IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) come almost exclusively from cohorts from Asia, Europe, and North America. We conducted this study to describe the clinical presentation, phenotype distribution, and association with sex, ethnicity, and serological markers in a large cohort of Latin American patients with IgG4-RD.
Methods: We performed a multicenter medical records review study including 184 Latin American IgG4-RD patients.

Background: Burnout syndrome is a chronic, adaptive disorder, being considered the most important cause of work injury of psychosocial cause. The objective was to know the risk of burnout in Córdoba city’s physician and its relationship with sociodemographic factors and clinical and surgical specialties.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was performed in 10 care centers in Córdoba City.
Objectives: In this observational, analytical, cross-sectional study we aimed to describe the impact of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) on work productivity and activities of daily living (ADL) to assess the association between ADL impairment and clinical manifestations and to compare ADL impairment according to patients' socioeconomic condition.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with pSS attending 11 centres from Argentina were included. To evaluate work productivity and ADL impairment, a work productivity and activity impairment questionnaire (WPAI) was used.
Background: Pregnancy in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and nephritis (LN) is at risk of foetal and maternal complications.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of LN on pregnancy with respect to foetal and maternal outcome.
Methods: We retrospectively studied all pregnant SLE patients with and without diagnosis of LN, who attended the Materno Neonatal Hospital in Cordoba city, Argentina, from January 2015 to April 2017.

[Subclinical markers of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk factors in early arthritis].
Rev Fac Cien Med Univ Nac Cordoba
August 2019
Background: Mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increased in rheumatoid arthritis, not explained by traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), suggesting a role of inflammation. This process would occur early. The common sonographic markers of subclinical atherosclerosis (SA), are increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) or the presence of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and they are closely related to CVD.
