Abstract Children’s hip diseases are an umbrella term to define different conditions (e.g. Perthes’ disease; hip dysplasia) that affect the hip bone during the first months or years after birth. Assessing the degree of hip stiffness is important in the management of the disease, but to date there is no system able to continuously monitor hip angle in children. We aimed to characterize a novel wearable joint angle monitoring system able to collect data during the day in everyday...

Abstract Objective To investigate muscle stiffness in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) using shear wave elastography (SWE) and to correlate the results with muscle strength and MRI features of myositis. Materials and methods Muscle shear wave velocity (SWV) was measured in 23 active IIM patients (13 females, mean age 50.4 ± 16.1 years)...

Abstract Background and aims Diabetes mellitus is recognized as one of the major causes of end stage kidney disease. Bone Gla protein (BGP) is a vitamin K-dependent protein involved in bone mineralization and vascular calcifications (VC). Our goal was to characterize BGP and undercarboxylated BGP (ucBGP) in DM patients on HD, compared to HD patients without DM, and their association with vascular and bone disease. ...

Abstract Hematologic involvement or hematologic malignancies are frequently encountered during the course of rheumatic diseases. Bone marrow (BM) aspiration and/or biopsy examinations may have a diagnostic role in explaining hematologic findings detected in rheumatology clinical practice. Our aim was to describe the indications for BM examinations and to share our BM aspiration/biopsy results. We analyzed 140 BM aspiration/biopsy results of patients conducted at the Department...

Abstract Despite resilient inequities, Brazil has seen progressive improvement in health care in the last 25 years. Infectious diseases rendered place to chronic non-communicable diseases as a major cause of death. Existence of traditional schools of medicine and training services in rheumatology helped form a reasonable number of specialists, though irregular distribution due to the economic issues favoring their clustering in major cities. The Brazilian Society of Rheumatology...
