PReS-FINAL-2124: Electromyography assessment in localized scleroderma
Introduction Localized Scleroderma (LS) has been associated with central and peripheral nervous system involvement. Facial palsy, extra-ocular movement disorders, trigeminal neuralgia and hemi-masticatory spams are described as primary neurologic involvement. Romberg hypothesized that sympathetic regulation has pathogenic relevance in facial hemiatrophy, which was reproduced experimentally by s...
متن کاملPReS-FINAL-2129: Whole-body versus localized magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of juvenile dermatomyositis
Introduction MRI represents a promising tool in the assessment of disease activity in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Watersensitive sequences are very sensitive to the presence of inflammation and have the potential to support diagnosis, guide muscle biopsy and monitor treatment response. So far, all MRI studies in JDM focused on pelvic and thigh musculature. Whole-body(WB)-MRI screens the ent...
متن کاملA cross-sectional electromyography assessment in linear scleroderma patients
BACKGROUND Muscle atrophy and asymmetric extremity growth is a common feature of linear scleroderma (LS). Extra-cutaneous features are also common and primary neurologic involvement, with sympathetic dysfunction, may have a pathogenic role in subcutaneous and muscle atrophy. The aim was investigate nerve conduction and muscle involvement by electromyography in pediatric patients with LS. METH...
متن کاملPReS-FINAL-2120: Juvenile scleroderma international network (JUSINET) database: a reliable instrument for clinical research in juvenile scleroderma syndromes
Objectives We propose a web-based registry (http://www.jusinet. org) to prospectively collect data on demographic, epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory features of patients with jssc and JLS from adult and paediatric rheumatology centres and to educate physicians to a more standardized approach to these conditions. The purpose is to provide a well-characterized cohort of scleroderma patien...
متن کاملLocalized Scleroderma
Morphea (localized scleroderma) is an autoimmune disease characterized by sclerosis of the skin and, in some cases, subcutaneous tissue. It occurs in children and adults. It is distinct from systemic sclerosis, but may nevertheless be associated with significant functional and cosmetic impairment. Morphea has several distinct subtypes, including circumscribed, linear, and generalized, all of wh...
