Three-dimensional evaluation of hyoid bone position in nasal and mouth breathing subjects with skeletal Class I, and Class II
The respiratory function has been linked to craniofacial development and occlusion. Poor nasal respiratory function is related to low airway capacity, which might lead to mouth breathing [1]. Multiple etiologies have been associated with mouth breathing: adenoid hypertrophy is considered the most common cause of mouth breathing in children [2]; other etiologies include tonsillar hypertrophy, nasal...

Unincreased risk of hospitalized infection under targeted therapies versus methotrexate in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a retrospective...
The number of elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has recently increased due to improved vital prognosis of patients with RA [1], increased incidence of elderly onset RA [2, 3], and higher cumulative risk of RA in elderly women [4]. In Japan, one of the countries with the highest aged society in the world, the proportion of patients with RA who are aged ≥ 65 years was 60.8%, and the... Lire la suite

Spotlight on latent tuberculosis infection screening for juvenile idiopathic arthritis in two countries, comparing high and low risk patients
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MT), is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children and adolescents globally, with a mortality rate of around 1.6 million people every year [1]. In 2018, Brazil registered 37.4 new cases of TB per 100,000 habitants according to the Ministry of Health, remaining a highly endemic country, whereas Portugal registered 16.6 cases per 100,000...

BNIP3 mediates the different adaptive responses of fibroblast-like synovial cells to hypoxia in patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
Physiological hypoxia refers to the environment with relatively low oxygen concentration in normal embryonic development and brain tissue, which is essential for the exercise of the normal functions (Taylor and Colgan 2017). While the disturbance of normal oxygen supply leads to a series of diseases (Hao et al. 2022; Veldhuizen et al. 2021). In the process of excessive synovium hyperplasia, severe... Lire la suite
