  1. 21. Studies of clinical and haemostatic features associated with antiphospholipid antibodies

    Författare :Anna Vikerfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are associated with a heterogeneous range of clinical conditions with predisposition for thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity and other autoimmune disorders, most frequently systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Both the clinical manifestations themselves and their treatment may be harmful to the affected individuals and aPL testing is still controversial. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), also known as myositis, are rare autoimmune diseases, characterized by proximal muscle weakness and inflammatory cells in skeletal muscle tissue. The most common subgroups are polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). LÄS MER
