For an adequate therapy, correct hemodynamic diagnosis and etiology classification are fundamental. Many etiologies - rheumatic disease, portal hypertension, congenital heart diseases, schistosomiasis - require specific measures, in addition to drug therapy for PAH. The specific therapy for PAH is based on medications that act on three pathophysiological pathways - prostacyclin, endothelin, and nitric oxide pathways. These drugs have multiple presentations (oral, intravenous, subcutaneous, and inhaled) and have changed the history of PAH. This review presents an overview of drug therapy strategies and different forms and peculiarities of PAH.
- The new 2019-EULAR/ACR classification criteria specific domains at diagnosis can predict damage accrual in 670 childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus patients(2021) PITTA, Ana C.; SILVA, Clovis A.; INSFRAN, Carlos E.; PASOTO, Sandra G.; TRINDADE, Vitor C.; V, Glaucia Novak; SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; TERRERI, Maria T.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; MAGALHAES, Claudia S.; FONSECA, Adriana R.; ISLABAO, Aline G.; ASSAD, Ana P. L.; BUSCATTI, Izabel M.; ELIAS, Adriana M.; PIOTTO, Daniela P.; FERRIANI, Virginia P.; CARVALHO, Luciana M.; RABELO JUNIOR, Carlos N.; MARINI, Roberto; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio R.; SACCHETTI, Silvana B.; BICA, Blanca E.; MORAES, Ana J.; ROBAZZI, Teresa C.; LOTUFO, Simone; CAVALCANTI, Andre S.; NAKA, Erica N.; CARNEIRO-SAMPAIO, Magda; BONFA, Eloisa; AIKAWA, Nadia E.Objective To evaluate if the 2019-European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR) criteria at diagnosis of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) are associated with higher rates of early damage scored by Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology (SLICC/ACR) Damage Index (SDI). Methods This retrospective multicenter study included 670 cSLE patients with <= 5 years of disease duration. All patients fulfilled both 2019-EULAR/ACR and 1997-ACR classification criteria. Total score of 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria and each of its specific domains were assessed at diagnosis as predictors of damage accrual at the last visit, according to the presence of any organ damage (defined by SDI >= 1). Results Median disease duration was 2.8 (IQR 1.8-3.8) years and 200 (29.9%) patients had at least one organ damage (SDI >= 1). The most frequent domains were neuropsychiatric (12%), renal (7%), and musculoskeletal (6%). There was a higher frequency of renal (58% vs 43%, p = 0.0004) and neuropsychiatric domain (21% vs 7%, p < 0.0001) of 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria in patients with damage (SDI >= 1) compared to those without damage (SDI = 0). Patients scoring renal or neuropsychiatric domains of the 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria at diagnosis were associated with renal damage (odds ratio 9.701, 95% confidence interval 3.773-24.941, p < 0.001) or neuropsychiatric damage (OR 9.480, 95% CI 5.481-16.399, p<0.0001) at latest visit, respectively. cSLE patients with positive anti-dsDNA at diagnosis were also associated with renal damage by the latest visit (OR 2.438, 95% CI 1.114-5.3381, p = 0.021). Constitutional, hematologic, mucocutaneous, serosal, and musculoskeletal domains and specific criteria as well as other immunologic criteria were not associated with damage accrual. Median of SLEDAI-2K was significantly higher in patients with global damage (19.5 (2-51) vs 14 (0-51), p<0.001). 2019-EULAR/ACR score >25 was associated with more overall (SDI >= 1) (38% vs 25%, p = 0.0002) and renal damage (11% vs 5%, p = 0.023). Conclusions The 2019-EULAR/ACR criteria at diagnosis were associated with a higher rate of early damage in cSLE patients, especially for renal and neuropsychiatric damage. Of note, damage was particularly associated with high disease activity at diagnosis and 2019-EULAR/ACR score >25.
- Is exposure to environmental factors associated with a characteristic clinical and laboratory profile in systemic sclerosis? A retrospective analysis(2021) AGUILA, Lisbeth A.; SILVA, Henrique Carrico da; MEDEIROS-RIBEIRO, Ana Cristina; BUNJES, Bruna Giusto; LUPPINO-ASSAD, Ana Paula; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.To identify environmental factors (EF) in a large cohort of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) analyzing their clinical and laboratory presentation. A cohort of consecutive patients attended at a single Brazilian SSc outpatient clinic was analyzed regarding EF. Data were analyzed according to clinical, demographic and laboratory characteristics, as well as SSc subtype. In a cohort of 662 patients, 70 (10.6%) had known previous exposure to EF, predominantly organic solvents (51.4%), silica (20%), silicone (12.9%) and pesticides (11.4%). In the SSc cohort, patients with EF had a significantly higher frequency of male gender (p < 0.01), African-Brazilian ethnicity (p = 0.01), myopathy (p = 0.02), and pigmentary disorders (p = 0.04), with shorter disease duration (p = 0.01). When SSc subtypes were analyzed separately, there was positive association with male gender in limited (p < 0.01) and diffuse (p < 0.01) SSc, as well as African-Brazilian ethnicity (p = 0.04), severe interstitial lung disease (p < 0.01), myopathy (p = 0.02) and SD pattern at nailfold capillaroscopy (p = 0.01) in limited SSc, and negative association with esophageal hypomotility (p < 0.01) and ANA positivity (p = 0.02) in diffuse SSc. Multiple regression analyses showed that myopathy was independently associated with previous exposure to EF (OR = 2.09; 95% CI 1.15-3.82), especially silica exposure (OR = 3.09; 95% CI 1.67-5.73). This study showed that SSc patients with previous exposure to EF may have some specific clinical characteristics, mainly a higher frequency of myopathy, also showing more severe ILD, preferably in male and African-Brazilian patients, associated with a lower frequency of ANA positivity.
