Article Synopsis
- Anemia is common in systemic sclerosis patients, with 20% of those studied being affected, primarily due to iron deficiency.
- The study revealed that patients with anemia had more severe symptoms and higher mortality rates compared to those with normal hemoglobin levels, indicating a significant impact on prognosis.
- Researchers suggest that further investigation is needed to understand the underlying causes of anemia and its effects on systemic sclerosis outcomes.
Objective: Describe the demographic data and clinical phenotype of cranial palsy induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (CNP-ICI).
Methods: A systematic literature review of the literature was performed in Pubmed, Web of Science, and Embase, including 68 articles and 136 patients (PROSPERO no. CRD42024517262).
Objectives: To investigate lung perfusion in systemic sclerosis (SSc).
Methods: The study population included 101 patients who underwent dual-energy CT (DECT) in the follow-up of SSc with pulmonary function tests obtained within 2 months. Fifteen patients had right heart catheterization-proven PH.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterized by extensive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, associated with vasculopathy and autoimmune features. Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are found in almost all SSc patients and constitute strong diagnosis and prognosis biomarkers. However, it remains unclear whether ANA are simple bystanders or if they can have a role in the pathophysiology of the disease.
