1. Ureteral calcinosis in juvenile dermatomyositis: successful precocious surgical management
We report a successful surgical intervention to repair bilateral ureteral strictures in a child with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and ureteral calcinosis. This is the fourth reported case in medical literature. A 9-year-old-girl with severe JDM, a rare connective tissue disease characterized by skin and muscles vasculitis, was under immunosuppressive thera

2. Critical analysis and estimative of predictive positive value of non benign mammographic aspect calcifications / "Análise crítica e estimativa dos valores preditivos positivos das calcificações de aspecto mamográfico não benigno"
Five hundred and seven cases of calcificações had been evaluated about its characteristics (density, morphology, distribution, extension and number) and association with the breast cancer. Using the VPP of each type of calcifications they had been categorized by the BI-RADS system in categories 4Â (2 to10%), 4B (10,1 to 30%) and 4C (30,1 to 70.0%) and cat

3. Staphylococcal infections in childhood dermatomyositis--association with the development of calcinosis, raised IgE concentrations and granulocyte chemotactic defect.
There is a high incidence of staphylococcal infection in children with dermatomyositis, which is limited to those children who either already have or subsequently develop calcinosis. Of 15 children followed up for 3-10 years after diagnosis, all nine who developed calcinosis had infections with Staphylococcus aureus compared with none of six without calcinos

4. Comparison of antinuclear antibody testing methods: immunofluorescence assay versus enzyme immunoassay.
Performances of anti-nuclear antibody testing by immunofluorescence assay (ANA-IFA) and enzyme immunoassay (ANA-EIA) were compared in relation to patient diagnosis. A total of 467 patient serum samples were tested by ANA-IFA (Kallestad; Sanofi) and ANA-EIA (RADIAS; Bio-Rad), and their age, sex, diagnosis, disease status, and medications were obtained through

5. Exposure of HEp-2 Cells to Stress Conditions Influences Antinuclear Antibody Reactivity
This study of stress-related antinuclear antibody (ANA) reactivity was undertaken with the objective of improving clinical ANA testing. ANA was determined by parallel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of crude nuclear protein antigen extracted from HEp-2 cells either grown under optimal conditions (providing nonstress ANA antigen) or exposed to stress (prov
