1. Immunoadsorption therapy in refractory heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: a potential therapeutic option
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Removal of cardiac autoantibodies by immunoadsorption might confer clinical improvement in dilated cardiomyopathy. In this pilot study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of immunoadsorption therapy in refractory heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS: This study consisted of 9 heart failure patients with dilate

2. The evaluation of pancreas β-cell autoantibodies in non-diabetic COVID-19 patients
ABSTRACT Objective: This study aims to evaluate potential pancreas endocrine damage due to SARS-CoV-2 by measuring β-cell autoantibodies in COVID-19 patients. Subjects and methods: Between June and July 2020, 95 inpatients with a positive COVID-19 test result after polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) and who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in our stu

3. Autoantibodies against desmoglein 2 are not pathogenic in pemphigus
Abstract Background Anti-desmoglein 1 and 3 autoantibodies justify acantholysis in pemphigus; however, the pathogenesis of anti-desmoglein 2 is hypothetical. Objective To compare the participation of desmogleins 1, 2 and 3 through the production of serum autoantibodies, and protein and gene expression in the skin/mucosa of patients with pemphigus foliaceus

4. Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
Abstract Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a rare autoimmune disease, characterized by the synthesis of anti-collagen VII autoantibodies, the main component of hemidesmosome anchoring fibrils. The antigen-antibody binding elicits a complex inflammatory response, which culminates in the loss of dermo-epidermal adhesion of the skin and/or mucous membranes. Sk

5. Bullous pemphigoid and milia: prevalence and clinical laboratory findings in a Brazilian sample
Abstract Background: Bullous pemphigoid (BP) associated with milia lesions has been increasingly reported, but its prevalence has not been reported in a Brazilian BP population yet. Objectives: To describe the occurrence and clinical-laboratorial findings of BP-milia association in a southeastern Brazilian sample. Methods: A descriptive study based on the

6. Association of Anti-β1 and Anti-M2 Antibodies with Autonomic Nervous System Modulation in Patients with Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy
Abstract Background: Different immune mechanisms of myocardial damage involved in the pathophysiology of Chagas disease coexist with high titers of autoantibodies induced by T. cruzi . There are few studies in the literature about the adaptive role of anti-β1 and anti-M2 antibodies in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC). Objectives: To evaluate the associ

7. Scurvy: hard to remember, easy to diagnose and treat,
Abstract Small vessel vasculitis with anti-proteinase antibodies 3 is an atypical clinical presentation of tuberculosis. The authors present the case of a 47-year-old male patient, with palpable purpura and palmoplantar hemorrhagic blisters, with subsequent dissemination. He presented severe pulmonary symptoms with cavitation, fever, hemoptysis, and high lev

10. MODY probability calculator for GCK and HNF1A screening in a multiethnic background population
ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to identify the frequency of monogenic diabetes, which is poorly studied in multiethnic populations, due to GCK or HNF1A mutations in patients with suggestive clinical characteristics from the Brazilian population, as well as investigate if the MODY probability calculator (MPC) could help patients with their selection. Subjects

11. Evaluation of the structure, autoimmunity, and functions of the thyroid gland in familial Mediterranean fever patients
ABSTRACT Objective Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disorder that is frequently seen in the eastern Mediterranean region. The thyroid gland can be affected in FMF patients through autoimmunity or amyloidosis. Here, we aimed to evaluate the structure and functions of the thyroid gland in addition to possible auto
