In this retrospective study, the frequency and clinical picture of ILD were determined in patients with MCTD using two diagnostic tests: high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and inhaled aerosol clearance times of (99m)Tc-labelled diethylene-triamine pe...

The strength of the proximal muscles (hip flexors, shoulder abductors, knee extensors) of the patients was significantly lower than the controls, whereas the strength of the distal muscles (dorsal flexors of the foot and grip strength) was rather similar.

متن کاملInterstitial lung disease evaluation: detecting connective tissue disease.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation of connective tissue disease (CTD) and is often associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The evaluation of ILD in patients with CTD is complex because of the heterogeneity of the CTD spectrum, the various patterns and degrees of severity of ILD encountered, and because ILD can be identified at any point in time in these patie...
متن کاملInterstitial lung disease in connective tissue disorders.
Some of the most pressing challenges associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) are how best to define, diagnose, and treat connective tissue disease-associated ILD (CTD-ILD)--disorders with potentially substantial morbidity and mortality. In this focused review, we address aspects of prognosis for CTD-ILD and what indices might predict outcome, together with lessons that can be learnt fro...
