Abstract
We focus on reports published since 2006 and summarize the data regarding the BCNHL subtypes and clinical findings associated with this increased risk. Patients with these ARD, particularly those with detectable autoantibodies and systemic involvement, are at increased risk of developing BCNHL, espe...

Six studies met the inclusion criteria. For patients with rheumatoid arthritis, moderate evidence was found for reduction of disease activity, pain, fatigue, and global disease impact. The evidence was also moderate that comprehensive rehabilitation in a warm climate did not improve fitness or reduc...

Abstract
Systemic diseases may affect the oral tissues, i.e. oral mucosa, salivary glands, teeth or bone, and oral manifestations will frequently present early, i.e. in association with (non-fulminant) systemic disease. Thus, recognition and proper diagnosis is essential to initiate appropriate treatment sch...

Long-term TNF-alpha blockade in patients with amyloid A amyloidosis complicating rheumatic diseases.
Abstract
At the end of follow-up, a kidney response was observed in 12 of 22 patients (54.5%) and a kidney progression was observed in 6 of 36 patients (17%). The kidney amyloidosis remained stable in 16 of 36 patients (44%). The level of acute phase reactants diminished but did not reach the normal level. T...
