Filter by:Rheumatic mitral stenosis remains a health problem in developing countries. Progressive fibrosis of the valves and myocardium is the main pathophysiology that plays an important role. Dapagliflozin has various beneficial effects on the heart by reducing fibrosis, reducing inflammation, and improving patient quality of life. However, the role of this therapy is unknown in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patient engagement with digital tools for diagnosis and monitoring of disease in rheumatology services
Musculoskeletal pathologies constitute a major public health problem. Rheumatologists, whether they practice in private or hospital settings, play a major role in the management of responsible for these ailments. Due to the increase in life expectancy, an increase in the number of consultations can be expected. It is therefore imperative that the latter be more efficient, without losing quality. Communication between doctor and patient is bound to evolve due to the multiplicity of IT tools available and those that are emerging, which are increasingly essential, including many smartphone applications. Each targeting a specific pathology (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoporosis osteoarthritis, they will allow the patient to self-assess, thus becoming an actor in his own care. A "facilitated" exchange between caregivers and patients would be relevant and would provide added value for all. This is the reason why there is a real need for an application listing precise information on the patient, in a sufficiently succinct way to optimize their transmission to the physiotherapist.
Early outcome of minimally invasive rheumatic mitral valve surgery through periareolar versus submamary approach
Factors associated with severe forms of COVID-19 infection in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) or Autoimmune Diseases (AID) are unknown. This unprecedented situation leads to empirical and potentially erroneous advice and recommendations for care. Identifying factors associated with severity, in the context of this pandemic, which is expected to last many months, and possibly years, is crucial for future patients. The objective of this work is to identify the factors associated with the occurrence of severe forms of COVID-19 infection in patients with IRD or AID, by combining analysis of 2 large databases.
The main objective of this study is to generate diagnosis and therapeutic-decision tools through the identification of molecular causes of PIDs with autoimmunity/inflammation and the variability in disease outcome at the transcriptional level using a combination of omics signatures (transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metagenomics, metabolomics and lipidomics).
Exploration of pathophysiological mechanisms in chronic inflammatory rheumatism and rare systemic autoimmune diseases with the objective of identifying therapeutic targets.
A double-blind randomized controlled trial on the safety and immunogenicity of the recombinant subunit herpes zoster vaccine, Shingrix, in patients with rheumatic diseases undergoing immunosuppressive or biologic/targeted DMARD therapies
Patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism (RIC) or autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis, are regularly monitored in consultation as part of a "treat to target" strategy with rapid adaptation of treatments to the activity of their disease. according to French recommendations. They are treated with immunosuppressive drugs: disease-modifying treatments with very often methotrexate, associated with biotherapies or targeted therapies (JAK inhibitors) They can also be treated transiently or over the long term with corticosteroids. These treatments expose them to greater infectious risks, especially with regard to COVID19. The objective is on the one hand to assess the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on general state of health of these patients and the evolution of their disease and on the other hand to prioritize the optimal care of these patients by including in the context of maintaining the pandemic reduction rules, modern telemedicine technologies.
30 months, multicentre, prospective observational study on adult (>18 years) patients with a diagnosis of rare and complex connective tissue diseases (rCTDs) who will be given the vaccine during the period from January 2021 and January 2022. Patients with the following diagnosis will be included: - antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), - Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), - idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), - IgG4-related disease (IgG4), - mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), - relapsing polychondritis (RP), - Sjogren's syndrome (SS), - systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), - systemic sclerosis (SSc) - undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD)
