• Abstract

  The joint involvement is observed in approximately 30% of patients with psoriasis. However, no strategy clinic, laboratory or radiographic now is powerful enough to identify patients with psoriasis, asymptomatic from the standpoint of joint, which can evolve to AP in the short, medium or long term. Objectives: To study the association between psoriasis nail involvement and enthesopathy of…

  Association between enthesopathy and nail dystrophy of the extensor apparatus of the distal interphalangeal, assessed by ultrasonography in patients with psoriasis activity, AP.R

• Abstract

  Psoriasis (Ps) and psoriatic arthritis (PA) are associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), adiposity and cardiovascular mortality. In all these conditions there is an increase of oxidative stress and inflammation is recognized as one of the mechanisms involved. However, little is known about the influence of diet and micronutrients in these diseases. Objectives: To evalu…

  Effectiveness of a dietary intervention program on the disease activity, metabolic profile and oxidative stress in patients with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis activity: a clinical, randomized, placebo-controlled study, AP.R

• Abstract

  The World Health Organization estimates that approximately one third of the world population is infected with M. tuberculosis, particularly in Brazil, with annual incidence of 30-50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Approximately 3-5% of the population has some type of chronic inflammatory arthropathy (CIA), and 30 to 50% of them will need to use some TNF-blockers to achieve better clinical …

  Comparison of the performance among three screening tests (skin tuberculin test, PPD; quantiferon-test and ELISPOT) for detection of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in patients with active chronic inflammatory arthritis using TNF alfa blockers, AP.R

• Abstract

  Psoriasis (Ps) and psoriatic arthritis (PA) are associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), adiposity and cardiovascular mortality. In all these conditions there, the increase of oxidative stress and inflammation is recognized as one of the main mechanisms involved. However, the influence of diet in these diseases are not well established. Objectives: To compare the nutri…

  Association between dietary intake, metabolic profile and oxidative stress in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis patients, BP.MS

• Abstract

  The World Health Organization estimates that approximately one third of the world population is infected with M. tuberculosis, particularly in Brazil, with annual incidence of 30-50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Approximately 3-5% of the population has some type of chronic inflammatory arthropathy (CIA), including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthriti…
