| Each of these patients had diseases known to predispose to heterotopic calcification including scleroderma, acromegaly, and diabetes mellitus. |
|
| She believes her 14-year-old daughter's scleroderma, a systemic sclerosis, is linked to silicone crossing the placental barrier. |
|
| Alternatively, the patient might develop thickening of the skin, which would suggest the diagnosis of scleroderma. |
|
| Rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, dermatomyositis, and scleroderma are thought to be autoimmune diseases. |
|
| There is evidence that the skin fibroblasts of patients with scleroderma produce more collagen than the fibroblasts of healthy persons. |
|
| Other diseases related to RA that may cause pulmonary fibrosis are systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, Sjogren's syndrome, scleroderma and others. |
|
| My mother passed away from a debilitating autoimmune disease called scleroderma. |
|
| A small proportion of patients were diagnosed with globus hystericus, pharyngeal pouch, scleroderma, and myasthenia gravis. |
|
| Klee then became ill with scleroderma, a fatally debilitating autoimmune disease. |
|
| Those with localized scleroderma do not usually develop systemic scleroderma. |
|
| In the past my family has had to deal with the devastating effects of scleroderma. |
|
| At this time there is no cure for scleroderma, which has terrible consequences, including high levels of disability, morbidity and mortality. |
|
| Treatment: There is no cure for scleroderma, but doctors try to treat the problems that it causes. |
|
| On the left arm and the right thigh were lesions with ambiguous appearances, in which the characteristics were between those of scleroderma and atrophoderma. |
|
| In 1923, Pasini described a case of pigmentary atrophoderma that was both clinically and histologically unique from any known atrophy, including localized scleroderma. |
|
| She died on June 8, 2004, after a long and painful battle against scleroderma, a chronic disease of the immune system, connective tissue and blood vessels. |
|
| Unfortunately, the prevailing belief that there is loss of capillaries in scleroderma is based on findings in nail fold capillaroscopy and is dependent on seeing columns of blood. |
|
| Longitudinal melanonychia associated with scleroderma is rare. |
|
| Most of the patients with EF are diagnosed as scleroderma due to skin indurations and fibrotic changes in tissues. |
|
| Mr. Speaker, during the month of June, thousands of Canadians hope to draw attention to a little known but devastating disease called scleroderma. |
|
|
|
| Differentiating the two disorders is difficult because some patients who experience mild symptoms of Reynaud's disease for several years may later develop overt connective tissue disease-most commonly scleroderma. |
|
| The mission of the Scleroderma Society of Canada is to promote awareness of scleroderma, to support research toward finding a cure and to provide support and information to those affected by the disease. |
|
| It's an auto-immune disease called linear scleroderma morphea, and a form of the disease called coup de sabre.' It's a degenerative condition where soft tissue turns to scarring. |
|
| Occupational studies show stone workers and miners have more rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS and scleroderma. |
|
| In localised scleroderma, which is also called morphoea, only the skin gets affected. |
|
| Systemic scleroderma, for example, a disease of the connective tissue that results in hyperproduction of collagen, can sometimes wreak unstoppable havoc on the body's organs, hardening them into woodlike uselessness. |
|
| In diffuse scleroderma, the excess production of collagen extends beyond the skin and causes internal organ fibrosis which can be associated with significant mortality. |
|
| Scleroderma Society of Ontario is committed to promoting increased public awareness, advancing patient wellness and supporting research in scleroderma. |
|
| Anti-U1 RNP antibodies may also occur in a small fraction of patients with Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and polymyositis. |
|
| The most common combination is with rheumatoid arthritis although it can present itself with other conditions such as lupus, scleroderma and polymyositis, to name a few. |
|
| We report a case of idiopathic PCT in a patient with limited systemic scleroderma and serologic evidence of an overlap connective tissue disorder. |
|
| It has been shown that this antifibrotic treatment is of great value for improving slerosing disorders of the skin including scleroderma and morphea. |
