Hand Function Impairment in Systemic Sclerosis: Outcomes, Mechanisms and Experience (HANDSOME)
Almost 90% of systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients experience hand function limitation, which leads to impaired daily functioning and work participation. An important cause of impaired hand function are contractures of the hand, which are reported in up to a half of patients. With this longitudinal cohort study in patients with …
ROLE of PLATELETS in the PATHOPHYSIOLOGY of SYSTEMIC LUPUS
Blood platelets, well known for their role in hemostasis, are abnormally activated in patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but also from other immunomediated diseases (scleroderma, vasculitis, myositis, Gougerot-Sjögren's and rheumatoid arthritis) in cases of high disease activity. Once activated, platelets express adhesion molecules such as P-selectin on their …
Functional Performance and Biopsychosocial Characteristics in Individuals with Systemic Sclerosis
In individuals with systemic sclerosis (SSc), the loss of functionality severely affects quality of life. This condition may cause psychosocial effects by affecting the person, their family, and the environment. Activities of daily living, quality of life, and psychosocial well-being are affected, and aesthetic concerns arise. Different scales evaluating the …
Progression Assessment of PXE-associated Alterations
This monocentric clinical observational study at the University Eye Hospital Bonn investigates the natural history and structural consequences of a diseased Bruch's membrane (BrM) in Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE). The study includes four main objectives: Direct Bruch's Membrane Alterations: Longitudinal analysis of BrM reflectivity using high-resolution OCT to assess correlations with …
Living With Marfans and Your Aorta: Surgical Outcomes Study
Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disease affecting the eyes, skeleton, heart and arteries. Despite MFS affecting multiple organ systems, cardiovascular manifestations are the most serious and life threatening. Approximately 80% of adult MFS patients will have a dilated aortic root by age 40 years with aortic aneurysm and dissection …
Biological Collection for Marfan and Related Syndromes
The present study will establish a collection of biological samples from Marfan patients or with associated diseases to be used for research purposes only, with due respect for confidentiality.
Transcriptomic Study of Adult Population With Marfan Syndrome
This project is designed to discover circulating biomarkers for aortic aneurysms in adults affected by Marfan Syndrome (MFS). The first aim is to identify circulating transcripts, protein-coding (mRNA) and not (ncRNAs), which show differential expression between three groups of adult patients affected by MFS, based on: presence or absence of …
Genome-wide Epistasis for Cardiovascular Severity in Marfan Study
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with pleiotropic manifestations in the ocular, skeletal and cardiovascular systems. Morbidity and mortality are mostly determined by aortic root aneurysm dissection and rupture. Although mutations in FBN1, the gene coding for the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1, are the well-established genetic …
Cultural Adaptation, Validity, and Reliability of the Turkish Version of The PASTUL Questionnaire
The Patient Self-Assessment of Skin Thickness in Upper Limb (PASTUL) questionnaire was developed to enable patients to assess skin thickness in systemic sclerosis (SSc) physically and has been validated for reliability and validity, as it correlates with the modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS), which rheumatologists assess. Thus, it has been …
Investigation of Respiratory Muscle Sarcopenia in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
The aim of this study was to investigate respiratory muscle sarcopenia in individuals with systemic sclerosis. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the prevalence of respiratory muscle sarcopenia in patients with systemic sclerosis? Participants body composition (bioelectrical impedance), hand grip strength (hand dynanometer), physical performance tests …
