    Sammanfattning : Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory joint disease associated with psoriasis. PsA has a heterogeneous pattern, expressed by different manifestations such as mild mono-oligoarthritis or very severe, erosive and destructive polyarthritis. Measurable inflammatory activity is not always prominent. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Immunopathogenic mechanisms in inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Pernilla Englund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Myositis; capillaries; muscle fibers; IL-1 alpha; MHC; adhesion molecules;

    Sammanfattning : The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are characterized by symmetrical, proximal muscle weakness and by inflammatory infiltrates in muscle tissue. Based on different clinical as well as histopathological features the IlMs can be separated into polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Studies on autoantibodies and inflammatory markers in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

    Författare :Hector Fabricio Espinosa Ortega; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic Inflammatory myopathies (IIM), commonly known as myositis, are chronic autoimmune diseases characterized by low muscle strength and low muscle endurance as main features. However, a high number of patients may develop extra muscular manifestations such as interstitial lung disease, skin rash or arthritis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cardiovascular outcomes and extra-articular manifestations in patients with spondyloarthritis

    Författare :Karin Bengtsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Spondyloarthritis; Cardiovascular disease; Extra-articular manifestations;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a cluster of rheumatic diseases with similar clinical features, including association with extra-articular manifestations such as anterior uveitis (AU), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and psoriasis. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and undifferentiated SpA (uSpA) are the major subtypes of SpA. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Studies of pathophysiological mechanisms and oral cavity manifestations in chronic inflammatory diseases

    Sammanfattning : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a 9:1 female predominance where many genetic and clinical characteristics overlap with other inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Closely monitoring and treating active disease leads to better prognosis and quality of life for these patients since a cure is to date not available. LÄS MER
