Spectrum of ankylosing spondylitis in Portugal. Development of BASDAI, BASFI, B...

The availability of population-specific normative data regarding disease severity measures is essential for patient assessment. The goals of the current study were to characterize the pattern of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Portuguese patients and to develop reference centile charts for BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI and mSASSS, the most widely used assessment tools in AS. AS cases were recruited from hospital outpatie...

Association of IL23R and ERAP1 genes with ankylosing spondylitis in a Portugues...

OBJECTIVE: Association between ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and two genes, ERAP1 and IL23R, has recently been reported in North American and British populations. The population attributable risk fraction for ERAP1 in this study was 25%, and for IL23R, 9%. Confirmation of these findings to ERAP1 in other ethnic groups has not yet been demonstrated. We sought to test the association between single nucleotide polym...

Anti-melanoma immunoscintigraphy.

Nuclear Medicine has always contributed to the study of oncologic diseases. Immunoscintigraphy, one of its more recent developments, consists of the evaluation of the biodistribution of antibodies, directed against tumoral antigens and labelled with radionuclides. This technique, which has proven of special interest in some neoplasias, was used for the first time in 1983 in malignant melanoma of the skin. The a...

A comparative study of gallbladder function using echography and HIDA-CCK.

This paper compares two methods of evaluating gall-bladder function after stimulation with cholecystokinin (CCK); One, the echographic method, permits the gall-bladder contraction study by determining variations in face area of the organ. The other, the scintigraphic method (HIDA-CCK test), studies of the gall-bladder emptying registering the decreases of activity by external counts. Out of 20 studies performed...
