A comparative analysis of different biofluids using Raman spectroscopy to determine disease activity in ANCA ‐associated vasculitis

Interstitial Lung Disease with ANCA-associated Vasculitis

The association between interstitial lung disease (ILD) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), particularly microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), has been described in a number of case reports and case series reports in the last 2 decades. In addition, patients with pulmonary fibrosis and ANCA positivity but without other manifestations of systemic vasculitis hav...

applying transitivity theory to gender analysis of efl textbook: : a comparative study.

efl/esl textbooks have been regarded as essential language teaching materials with which the learners spend about 70 up to 90 percent of their class time. the important role they play and their vast use make them not only influential in learning the language but also in shaping values and attitudes. put it another way, textbooks socialize learners using their contents (i.e. texts, illustrations...

Updates in ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides are small-vessel vasculitides that include granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener's granulomatosis), microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome). Renal-limited ANCA-associated vasculitides can be considered the fourth entity. Despite their rarity and still unknow...

Treatment of ANCA – Associated Vasculitis

ANCA – associated vasculitis (AAV) encompass Wegener granulomatosus (WG), Churg Strauss syndrome (CSS) and Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA). Granuloma formation characterizes both WG and CSS, while necrotising inflammation of middle to small arteries, pauci-immune glomerulonephritis and production of ANCA typify all three of them. Common clinical and laboratory features point towards common patho...
