- * A total of 99 adult IIM patients were assessed for various autoantibodies, revealing that 70.7% tested positive for at least one antibody related to CD, while duodenal biopsy confirmed CD in 2% of cases.
- * The study found that specific antibodies (e.g., anti-MDA5 and anti-Mi2) were significantly associated with positive CD serology, highlighting the importance of recognizing IIM patients as a high-risk group for
Background/objective: Biomarkers for disease activity and damage accrual in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are currently lacking. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to analyze the relationship among low-density granulocytes (LDGs), neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and clinical and immunological features of patients with IIM.
Methods: We assessed disease activity, damage accrual, amount of LDGs, NETs, expression of LL-37, and serum cytokines in 65 adult patients with IIM.
Background: The rate of compliance with a gluten-free diet in patients with gluten-related disorders is unknown in most Latin American countries.
Objective: To study the adherence to a gluten-free diet of Mexican individuals with celiac disease and nonceliac gluten sensitivity at the time of their first medical and nutritional consultation at a tertiary referral center.
