Sex and body mass index impact on digit circumference for Leeds Dactylitis Inde...
Silvério-António, M; Rodrigues, AM; Teixeira, F; Tavares-Costa, J; Bernardo, A; Pimenta, S; Lagoas Gomes, J; Aguiar, R; Videira, T; Pinto, P; Santos, HObjectives: To estimate digit circumference and the impact of sex and body mass index (BMI) for the calculation of the Leeds Dactylitis Index (LDI) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients with bilateral dactylitis. Methods: Digit circumference of the hands and the foot were measured with a dactylometer and were studied according to sex and BMI (divided in 4 weight categories) in healthy Portuguese subjects, using...
The GO-DACT Protocol: a Multicentre, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group S...
Vieira-Sousa, E; Canhão, H; Alves, P; Rodrigues, AM; Teixeira, F; Tavares-Costa, J; Bernardo, A; Pimenta, S; Pimentel-Santos, F; Gomes, JL; Aguiar, RThe GO-DACT is an investigator-initiated, national, multicentric randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded trial, that assesses dactylitis as primary endpoint. Psoriatic arthritis patients naïve to methotrexate and biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, with at least one active dactylitis, were assigned to golimumab in combination with methotrexate or placebo in combination with methotrexate, for 2...

Spectrum of ankylosing spondylitis in Portugal. Development of BASDAI, BASFI, B...
Pimentel-Santos, FM; Mourão, AF; Ribeiro, C; Costa, J; Santos, H; Barcelos, A; Pinto, P; Godinho, F; Cruz, M; Vieira-Sousa, E; Santos, RA; Rabiais, SThe availability of population-specific normative data regarding disease severity measures is essential for patient assessment. The goals of the current study were to characterize the pattern of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Portuguese patients and to develop reference centile charts for BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI and mSASSS, the most widely used assessment tools in AS. AS cases were recruited from hospital outpatie...
Smoking is a predictor of worse trabecular mechanical performance in hip fragil...
Rodrigues, AM; Caetano-Lopes, J; Vale, AC; Aleixo, I; Pena, AS; Faustino, A; Sepriano, A; Polido-Pereira, J; Vieira-Sousa, E; Lucas, R; Romeu, JCClinical risk factors (CRFs) are established predictors of fracture events. However, the influence of individual CRFs on trabecular mechanical fragility is still a subject of debate. In this study, we aimed to assess differences, adjusted for CRFs, between bone macrostructural parameters measured in ex-vivo specimens from hip fragility fracture patients and osteoarthritis patients, and to determine whether indi...
