Ionizing radiation modulates human macrophages towards a pro-inflammatory pheno...
Pinto, AT; Pinto, ML; Cardoso, AP; Monteiro, C; Pinto, MT; Maia, AF; Castro, P; Figueira, R; Monteiro, A; Marques, M; Mareel, M; Santos, S; Seruca, RIn order to improve the efficacy of conventional radiotherapy, attention has been paid to immune cells, which not only modulate cancer cell response to therapy but are also highly recruited to tumours after irradiation. Particularly, the effect of ionizing radiation on macrophages, using therapeutically relevant doses, is not well understood. To evaluate how radiotherapy affects macrophage behaviour and macroph...
Using the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score based on erythrocyte sedime...
Mourão, AF; Santos, MJ; Melo-Gomes, J; Martins, FM; Costa, JA; Ramos, F; Brito, I; Duarte, C; Figueira, R; Figueiredo, G; Furtado, C; Lopes, AOur aims were to evaluate the correlation between Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score 27-joint reduced count (JADAS27) with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and JADAS27 with C-reactive protein (CRP) scores and to test the agreement of both scores on classifying each disease activity state. We also aimed at verifying the correlation of the 2 scores across juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories ...
