•Anti-Ro/SS-A and anti-La/SS-B are clinically very relevant during pregnancy mainly because of their association to congenital heart block and neonatal lupus. •In our cohort, the prevalence of congenital heart block detected in patients taking hydroxycloroquine is much lower than in patients not taking it without distinguishing between high and low risk patients. •High umbilical artery pulsatility index in Doppler scans studies has been detected in our anti-Ro/SSA population (basely in SLE patients) demonstrated this measurement as a predictor of SGA and adverse pregnancy outcomes in general population such as cesarean section for fetal distress. The small for gestational age rate is higher probably because of SLE not because anti-Ro/SS-A •Preterm delivery happens in anti-Ro/SS-A patients at the same rate as in the general population if no complications such as congenital heart block or intrauterine growth restriction occur.
In this pilot program of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for the screening of lung cancer (LC) in a targeted population of people with HIV (PWH), its prevalence was 3.6%; the number needed to screen in order to detect one case of lung cancer was 28, clearly outweighing the risks associated with lung cancer screening. While data from additional cohorts with longitudinal measurements are needed, PWH are a target population for lung cancer screening with LDCT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
