Reumatologi

The aim of the book is to sensitize physicians and researchers to the important long-term health effects of early, persistent, and severe trauma. The author, an internist, rheumatologist, and basic researcher in psychoneuroimmunology, shows connections between adverse childhood experiences and typical adult sequelae. After early traumatic experiences and childhood stress, there is a higher incidence of mental illness, chronic pain, sleep disorders, dental problems, obesity, cardiovascular disease, asthma, diabetes mellitus and chronic inflammation. A selection of diseases unmistakably demonstrate the long-term consequences of early childhood trauma. These childhood experiences create a kind of long-term programming that has a negative effect in adulthood. From his psychoneuroimmunological perspective, Rainer Straub identifies four factors that link the brain to the immune system and are involved in chronic immune activation: direct connectors originating from the brain, indirect connectors functioning through hormonal and neuronal pathways, extracorporeal (the environmental factors) and pleiotropic connectors (genetic factors).The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.

This book details the practice of telerheumatology. Telemedicine is defined as the delivery of healthcare and the exchange of healthcare information across distances. Following, telerheumatology is the delivery of rheumatology care through telemedicine. There exists an increasing demand from patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems for access to academic specialists through telemedicine. This has been the case for the past several years and the demand has only increased with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There is currently a lack of rheumatologists in rural areas and that is expected to spread to a general lack by 2025. Telerheumatology offers an excellent and timely solution to fill these gaps and provide care.Telerheumatology care has been shown to be feasible and quite effective. The current COVID-19 pandemic has thrust the concept of telemedicine into the spotlight. However, not all telerheumatology care is the same and there exists many nuances and differences when examining telerheumatology care across the United States and the world. After comprehensively reviewing the origins of telerheumatology, this work defines in detail the current practice of telerheumatology, along with the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and all applications of telerheumatology.  Expert authors also provide a detailed roadmap for providers to initiate, sustain, and grow a telerheumatology program. The book concludes by covering future directions of telerheumatology, including areas for expansion, improvement, and innovation.After reading this work, the editor and all the contributing authors hope that it will inspire, provoke thought and discussion, and lead to increased adaptation of providing telerheumatology care by rheumatologists and rheumatology providers.

This book answers questions about the critical role of ultrasound in the management of patients with Sjogren's syndrome. It also covers developments rheumatologists can foresee in performing a biopsy of the parotid gland.Each chapter is authored by experts on this condition, emphasizing the extent of current understanding and dealing with unanswered challenges and pitfalls. Topics such as modern imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI and their importance are given particular focus in this book; practitioners are increasingly using imaging techniques to refine diagnosis and guide clinical management. Additionally, as a significant emerging point of interest in the field, biopsy of the major salivary glands, particularly ultrasound-guided procedures, receives extra attention within the text. The book also includes a chapter that deals with future directions and will also review the challenges patients face with unmanaged Sjgren's syndrome.Comprehensive and concise, Sjgren's Syndrome and the Salivary Glands provides a balanced overview between the chapters and ensure homogeneity of the terminology.

This book explains the most significant advances in research and care and speculates as to what will be the future of rheumatology over the next decades, including challenges and lessons learned from past experiences in the field.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), currently grouped under the term axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), is a chronic form of arthritis that causes inflammation of the spine and other joints. This book provides clear and practical information on symptoms, diagnosis, treatments, and daily life with AS for patients and their families.

Dr. Heinonen reviews and critically evaluates the scientific literature on the biological role of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi ) published from 1940 to the end of 1999. He describes and classifies all known biochemical reactions that produce Ppi; describes and evaluates all published methods used in biological Ppi; and compiles and critically evaluates information on the concentration of PPi (with the conclusion that, contrary to common belief, PPi exists throughout the living world in rather high concentrations). Many reactions in which PPi is used as a biochemical energy source instead of ATP have been described in recent decades, especially in bacteria, protists, and plants. These reactions are evaluated from the bioenergetic and regulatory points of view. Also considered is the possible role of PPi as a source of biochemical energy in the primitive phases of life, before ATP. Data is presented on the regulatory role of PPi in living systems, such as activities of enzymes, fidelity of syntheses of macromolecules, and proliferation of cells. PPi may also regulate the formation and dissolution of bone as well as pathologic calcification of soft tissues and the formation of urinary stones. The formation of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in the extracellular fluids of joints cause the disease called pseudogout. Biological Role of Inorganic Pyrophosphate book is a unique and invaluable source of references (about 1120) and summarized data for professionals who study or plan to study the role of PPi in living systems. Many different branches of science (biochemistry, microbiology, bioenergetics, plant physiology, parasitology, evolution, orthopedics, rheumatology) have involvement with PPi. This book sums up available knowledge in one place and will help scientists cross disciplinary boundaries.

Proyecto/Trabajo fin de carrera del año 2018 en eltema Medicina - Otros, Nota: ninguna, , Materia: Analisis Clinicos Especificos, Idioma: Español, Resumen: Se trata de un trabajo final para presentar como coloquio. El tema elegido es el desarrollo sobre Artritis Reumatoidea, siendo una enfermedad autoinmune de gran incidencia en Argentina. La artritis reumatoide (AR) se trata de una enfermedad inflamatoria crónica, la cual se caracteriza por afectar a diferentes articulaciones del cuerpo produciendo dolor, deformidad y dificultad para el movimiento. Algunos de sus síntomas incluyen dolor en las articulaciones, tumefacción y rigidez, como así también se puede presentar cansancio, sensación de malestar, fiebre ligera, falta de apetito y pérdida de peso corporal. Con el paso del tiempo pueden manifestarse síntomas extra articulares, es decir, que afectan partes del organismo no relacionadas con las articulaciones como la piel, los vasos sanguíneos, el corazón, los pulmones, la sangre y los ojos. Si el paciente no acude a un especialista para recibir el tratamiento adecuado, este trastorno puede causar limitaciones físicas muy importantes y un marcado deterioro en la calidad de vida. Con un tratamiento adecuado se puede conseguir controlar la enfermedad en la mayoría de los casos.La AR aparece con mayor frecuencia en mujeres que en hombres, entre los 45 y 55 años. Como así también, una forma similar de artritis, puede afectar a los niños. Lamentablemente, en la actualidad aún no hay cura para esta enfermedad. Sim embargo, los tratamientos y medicaciones adecuadas pueden aliviar en gran parte los síntomas y mejorar así la calidad de vida del paciente. Por eso es muy importante el diagnostico precoz y controles médicos periódicos, para comenzar a tratar la enfermedad desde las fases más tempranas de la misma.
