Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) accounts for a significant proportion of mortality and morbidity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this cross-sectional study is to evaluate the performance of novel photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) in the detection of pulmonary parenchymal involvement.
Methods: Sixty-one patients with RA without a previous definitive diagnosis of ILD underwent high-resolution (HR) (0.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the impact of balneotherapy, a type of thermal water treatment, on non-inflammatory symptoms in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), focusing on their quality of life and work productivity.
- Patients receiving balneotherapy alongside standard care showed significant improvements in physical health and general well-being, as measured by various questionnaires, particularly in the short term.
- Despite positive results related to overall physical condition, fatigue levels did not improve and worsened, indicating that more research is needed to address this persistent symptom in SLE patients.
