چکیده
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic autoimmune diseases that include polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM). Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is recognized as a subset of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and the syndrome is characterized by myositis associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and autoantibodies against aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARS) with anti-Jo-1 being the most commonly found antibody (1,2). ILD is occurred in 70-89% of patients and it is the most common manifestation of ASS (3,4). In a subgroup of patients, without myositis the ILD may dominate the clinical manifestation and it is termed as amyopathic ASS (2).

Results: Non-invasive mechanical ventilation was successful in 62 (66.7%) patients. In 25 (26.9%) patients a late failure was observed. There was no difference between groups 1 and 2 in terms of pretreatment pH, PaCO2 and PaO2/FiO2. However, serum C-reactive protein level, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score and frequency of bronchiectasis and pneumonia were si...
متن کاملInhaled pentamidine for Pneumocystis jiroveci prophylaxis in a heart transplant recipient with allergy for trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole.
Pneumocystis jiroveci is an important cause of mortality and morbidity among heart transplant recipients. This raises the question of prophylactic treatment for this infection. Trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole is commonly used in P. jiroveci pneumonia prophylaxis with mild to severe adverse effects. We present the use of inhaled pentamidine as P. jiroveci prophylaxis in a patient with an allergy to...

متن کاملHodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cell-associated autoantigen CLIP-170/restin is a marker for dendritic cells and is involved in the trafficking of macropinosomes to the cytoskeleton, supporting a function-based concept of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells.
Little is known about the distribution in normal cells of CLIP-170, a linkage mediator between endocytic vesicles and microtubules, and restin, a splice variant encoded by the same gene and marker for Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of Hodgkin disease. Although only trace amounts of CLIP-170/restin are present in peripheral blood mononuclear cell subpopulations, monocyte-derived dendriti...
