Objective: To quantify the mortality risk in a large, well-characterized cohort of Sjögren's disease (SjD) patients and to identify independent predictors of mortality in this population.
Methods: We included 314 patients diagnosed with SjD according to the 2002 American-European Consensus Group criteria from a prospective, multicenter SjögrenSER-PROS cohort. Detailed data on systemic manifestations, serological markers, disease activity, and mortality was collected after 9 years of follow up.
Objective: The purpose of this report is to describe the presentation of a patient with a pectoralis major tendon (PMJ) tear.
Clinical Features: A 30-year-old male weightlifter presented to a chiropractor with localized left arm pain that began while bench-pressing. Ecchymosis and swelling were present, but no contour abnormalities were seen.
Article Synopsis
- Arthrobrachus Solier, 1849 is a genus of beetles in the Melyridae family found mainly in southern South America, consisting of twenty known species.
- A new species, named Arthrobrachus crassicornis sp. nov., has been identified through the study of collection materials.
- This new species is specifically described from Argentina and is located within the South American Transition Zone.
Astylus atromaculatus (Blanchard, 1843), the most widely distributed taxon of the genus, is redescribed. The original description is based mainly on the coloration patterns of the elytra. The study of the external morphological characters and genitalia of the type material and from specimens of collections allows the establishment of a new synonymy between A.
