And one day, there will no longer be any question of surrogate motherhood: technical sciences and medical philosophy will have remedied the difficulties created by current morals. Aware that we can only be dependent according to the text published also including the deletions of articles dedicated to human research. This is due to the many discrepancies and the texts on other provisions invoking responsibilities in bioethics and biomedicine (2012) including healthcare institutions and patients using these institutions. According to the law, which appears to be the leader of the game, it was a question of restoring to speech all the values of research, the value of dialogue between applicants, surrogate mothers and the medical society. This phenomenology, new in the course of social history, tends to be proven, despite very restrictive or even interdictive legislation; whereas we know that this situation is often the last resort to which couples or unattached individuals go. Another point of view is to point out that there cannot by nature be an essence of law that links the state to a certain conception of ethics in these areas. Ethics in this area is to discourage anyone from intervening in substance while using formal consent on the desire to have a child. The aim here is to prepare theories and their examples, concepts and expressions, efficient actions, and applicable protocols that can be used instead of the old models.","PeriodicalId":366224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheumatology and Arthritic Diseases","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123666570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This compound is present in the extracellular matrix especially in the cartilage, skin, blood vessels, ligaments and tendons. CS aside of being a building material for the cartilage it also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. For these reasons CS is currently being therapeutically used for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) in many countries under the commercial name Chondroguard®. Aims: This review critically analyzes the therapeutic properties of CS in the vertebral unit by assessing relevant in vitro and in vivo data published during the last decades in the specialized literature. The molecular-physiological mechanisms of action of CS in intervertebral disc extrusions and protrusions, in inflammation and neuroprotection are discussed. Conclusions: The clinical data obtained during years of treatment with CS and the utility of this molecule to protect the functional spinal unit are also considered to highlight their potential to treat OA worldwide.","PeriodicalId":366224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheumatology and Arthritic Diseases","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124075774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is rare to see these two conditions diagnosed in the same patient. This case analyzes the complex interactions between these two disease states. Case: This is the case of a 69 year old female who presented with shortness of breath, hematuria, and renal failure. Lab work was significant for elevated ANA (1:1280), positive double-stranded DNA antibody, normal complement levels and a negative Vasculitis panel. Renal biopsy was consistent with ANCA-associated Vasculitis (AAV). Thus the patient met diagnostic criteria for both SLE and AAV and was treated accordingly. Conclusion: A review of the literature reveals that these typically separate disease entities when diagnosed together may actually represent a completely new, overlapping syndrome. This case is unique in that there have not been any other cases of a simultaneous diagnosis of SLE and ANCA-negative Vasculitis without evidence of lupus nephritis reported in the literature. A deeper understanding of the mechanism driving these rare diseases can lead to improved prognostication and treatment of these conditions.","PeriodicalId":366224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheumatology and Arthritic Diseases","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123051240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Past BCG vaccination could cause sensitisation against TB antigens. Patients with systemic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (SIRDs) have inherent anergy . Also, they are often treated with glucocorticoids and other immunomodulatory drugs. These two confounders may affect TST, which is otherwise a robust screening method for studying TB epidemiology. Possibly for these reasons Indian Rheumatology Association did not recommend TST for the screening of TB infection (latent or disease) before initiating TNFi treatment. The present work examined TST results in SIRDs with the objective of whether it could be used for the screening of latent TB infection among SIRD patients in the Indian context. Method: 60 adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 191 axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients were Mantoux tested using a higher PPD strength of 10 TU to offset inherent disease anergy. The test was read after 48 to 72 hours. It was interpreted according to the nationally recommended cutoffs that takes into account sensitisation to BCG or environmental mycobacteria. Thus, in this study, an induration of >10 mm was considered as ‘latent TB infection’. Results: The positivity among RA and axSpA patients was 31.66% and 40.31% respectively, similar to that seen in adult Indians. Conclusion: Based upon these results use of modified TST with 10 TUPPD using >10 mm induration as the cut-off point is recommended for diagnosing TB infection; the test may be appropriate for the screening of latent TB infection in the Indian setting. IRA may consider revising its policy for latent TB screening accordingly.","PeriodicalId":366224,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rheumatology and Arthritic Diseases","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134048721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
