No detection of occult HBV-DNA in patients with various rheumatic diseases treated with anti-TNF agents: a two-year prospective study.

2013

OBJECTIVES: The widespread use of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-targeted therapies in patients with rheumatic, digestive and dermatologic diseases has been associated with reports of reactivation of HBV replication and ensuing hepatitis flares both in asymptomatic HBsAg carriers and in subjects with occult HBV infection. The aim of our work was to investigate in a two-year prospective study the potential for HBV reactivation in patients with inflammatory joint diseases undergoing anti-TNF treatment from a southern Mediterranean area. METHODS: Fifty-seven consecutive outpatients attending the Academic Unit of Rheumatology at the University of Palermo (12 with rheumatoid arthritis, 17 with pso…

Sinergy of action between rehabilitation protocol and anti-TNF alpha versus biological therapy

2012

AS is a chronic and progressive pathology that notably cripples the patient's psyco-physical status, with a remarkable compromising of the relational life. Practising regularly the therapeutic exercise along with the anti-TNF alpha, allowed a quick pain reduction, a long maintenance of the rachis functional elasticity and a correct posture, giving a better social and professional life quality.

Long-term anti-TNF therapy and the risk of serious infections in a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: Comparison of adalimumab, etanercept…

2012

Objective: To evaluate the risk of serious infections (SIs) in RA patients receiving anti-TNF therapy on the basis of the data included in the GISEA register. METHODS: The study involved 2769 adult patients with long-standing RA (mean age 53.2±13.4years; mean disease duration 9.0±8.3years) enrolled in the GISEA register, who had been treated for at least 6months with TNF inhibitors or had discontinued therapy due to SI: 837 (30%) treated with infliximab (IFN), 802 (29%) with adalimumab (ADA), and 1130 (41%) with etanercept (ETN). RESULTS: 176 patients had experienced at least one of the 226 Sis during the 9years of treatment with an anti-TNF agent, an overall incidence of 31.8/1000 patient-…

Sinergismo d'azione tra protocollo riabilitativo ed anti-TNFalfa versus terapia biologica

2012

La spondilite anchilosante è una malattia infiammatoria cronica ad eziologia sconosciuta che colpisce prevalentemente lo scheletro assile ma che può coinvolgere anche le entesi periferiche. Presso l'ambulatorio dell'U.O.C. di Riabilitazione dell'A.U.O.P. "Paolo Giaccone" di Palermo, in diciotto mesi (Aprile 2011-Maggio 2012) sono stati arruolati 24 soggetti (6 donne- 18 uomini). affetti da Spondilite Anchilosante HLA B27 diagnosticata secondo i criteri europei. Il presente studio ha mostrato efficacia nel trattamento di pazienti con SA mediante un progetto-programma riabilitativo mirato e specifico per distretto articolare. Svolgere con regolarità e costanza l'esercizio terapeutico in assoc…
