INTRODUCTION: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory, progressive disease, which leads to deterioration of chest and spine mobility and decrease of physical capacity with abnormal chest movement patterns. We aimed to assess the usefulness of the 4DBODY technology for evaluation of the effectiveness of AS treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The 4DBODY technology was assessed on single AS patient with axial involvement. The patient was examined twice, before and after 14 days of rehabilitation...

Obesity is a chronic disease that leads to the development of secondary metabolic disturbances and diseases and strongly contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. On the other hand, musculoskeletal disorders are currently the main cause of disability and the second most frequent reason for visits to the doctor. Many studies clearly show that excessive body weight adversely affects the course of almost all musculoskeletal system diseases, from osteoarthritis, through metabolic, systemic connective tissue, to rarely diagnosed diseases...

Growth hormone (GH) is a key peptide hormone in the regulation of bone metabolism, through its systemic and paracrine action mediated directly as well as by insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Growth hormone exerts pleiotropic effects leading to an increase in linear bone growth, accumulation of bone mineral content and preservation of peak bone mass. Furthermore, it influences protein, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism.Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) causes a low bone turnover rate leading to reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and increased bone fragility...

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a frequent endocrine disease which mainly affects the skeletal system and kidney. Some of its signs and symptoms are similar to those seen in rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's disease, fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, gout or systemic lupus erythematosus. Coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism with those pathologies potentiate their effects on muscles, bones and joints, increasing the risk of complications such as osteoporosis and fractures...

Prolonged exposure to an excess of glucocorticosteroids (GCs), both endogenous and exogenous, leads to a wide range of comorbidities, including cardiovascular, metabolic, psychiatric, and musculoskeletal disorders. The latter comprise osteopenia and osteoporosis leading to skeletal fractures and myopathy. Although endogenous hypercortisolemia is a rare disorder, GCs are among the most frequently prescribed drugs, often administered chronically and despite multiple side effects, impossible to taper off due to therapeutic reasons...

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes (APSs), also called autoimmune polyglandular syndromes, are a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by the co-occurrence of dysfunctions of several (at least two) endocrine glands. They develop under the influence of environmental factors in genetically predisposed people. Autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes may accompany autoimmune rheumatic diseases and worsen their course - APS-2 and APS-3 are the most common. The APS-2 includes the coexistence of, e.g. Hashimoto's disease, celiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)...

Hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) is rare and typically results from a pituitary functional tumor - somatotropinoma. It leads to excessive linear bone growth and manifests as gigantism if occurring in childhood and adolescence, before the closure of epiphyses or as a acromegaly in adulthood. The excess of GH impacts bone metabolism directly as well as indirectly through increased insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). In acromegaly as a consequence of overproduction of GH and IFG-1 and the influence of these hormones on bone osteoblasts, bone metabolism, growth and density increase...

OBJECTIVES: Glucocorticosteroids (GCs) are the most used anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs due to their effectiveness in managing pain and disease modification in many immune-inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs). However, their use is limited because of adverse effects (AEs). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The authors analyzed recent studies, including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), observational, translational studies and systematic reviews, providing an in-depth viewpoint on the benefits and drawbacks of GC use in rheumatology...

OBJECTIVES: Does prolactin (PRL) level testing in the diagnosis of systemic connective tissue diseases make sense and should we test it in everyday practice? MATERIAL AND METHODS: Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are a group of heterogeneous disorders, involving multiple body systems. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common connective tissue diseases with a global prevalence of 0.3-1% and can be inherited. Less common are systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), systemic sclerosis (SSc), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and inflammatory myositis...

Many medical conditions affect the skeletal system and constitute independent risk factors for fractures. The action of thyroid hormones is necessary to maintain adequate development, mineralization, and bone strength. Untreated hyperthyroidism can lead to a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and pathological fractures. In hypothyroidism, the changes in the quality of bone structure lead to an increase in the frequency of fractures. Excessive body weight negatively impacts fracture risk, increases the risk of osteoarthritis and accelerates the development of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis...

INTRODUCTION: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition characterized by periods of exacerbation (physical limitations, depressed mood, depressive states and decreased life satisfaction) and remission (hope of health improvement). Our objective was to present social functioning of RA patients taking into consideration their age and employing selected determinants: satisfaction with life, generalized sense of self-efficacy and acceptance of illness. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Standardized tools were employed: the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Generalized Self Efficacy Scale and Acceptance of Illness Scale...

Polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are rare idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Myocardial involvement in patients with IIM is an unfavorable prognostic factor and one of the most common cause of mortality in this group of patients. The purpose of this review is to present current knowledge on cardiovascular manifestations observed in IIM. Data published in English until December 2021 were selected. Clinical symptoms suggesting cardiac involvement are non-specific and require a differential diagnosis in accordance with cardiological guidelines...

A triad of symptoms characterises Felty's syndrome: seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA), splenomegaly and neutropenia. The treatment of Felty's syndrome is based on using classic synthetic and biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). In this article, we present a case of a patient with Felty's syndrome who was treated with biologic treatment. A systematic search of the literature on the electronic medical database was conducted. The drugs from the DMARD group, despite reducing the activity of the disease, may cause significant clinical complications...

Although the pathological mechanisms involved in osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are different, the onset and progression of both diseases are associated with several analogous clinical manifestations, inflammation, and immune mechanisms. In both diseases, cartilage destruction is mediated by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) synthesized by chondrocytes and synovium fibroblasts. This review aims to summarize recent articles regarding the role of MMPs in OA and RA, as well as the possible methods of targeting MMPs to alleviate the degradation processes taking part in OA and RA...
