Abstract: SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Systemic sclerosis (SSC) is an autoimmune disorder that affects several organs of unknown etiology, characterized by vascular damage and fibrosis of the skin and organs. Among the organs involved are the esophagus and the lung. OBJECTIVES To relate the profile of changes in esophageal electromanometry (EM), the profile of skin involvement, interstitial pneumopathy (ILD), and esophageal symptoms in SSC patients. METHODS This is an observational, cross-sectional study carried out at th… Show more

“…The correlation between abnormal esophageal pressure and skin involvement, esophageal symptoms, and severity of pulmonary fibrosis is still open to discussion [ 15 ]. Accumulated evidence suggests that changes in esophageal motility are common in patients with SSc but that these changes may not be related to skin stretch involvement, the presence of interstitial lung disease, or the patient’s gastrointestinal complaints [ 41 ].…”

“…Systemic Sclerosis/Scleroderma (SSc) is a rare disease condition with a prevalence of 443-660 cases per million and an incidence of 19-20 cases per million per year [3]. This progressive autoimmune condition triggers organ fibrosis, micro-vasculopathy, and gastrointestinal complications secondary to skin involvement in more than 90% of scenarios [4][5][6].…”

“…Its one of the most widely occurring chronic inflammatory diseases [1]. The prevalenceof the adult population affected by rheumatoid arthritis varies from 0.5% to 1% [2].RA is generally referred to as joints worsening progression which leads to morbidity and mortality [3,4]. Physical function deterioration, declined lifequality, burdens of socioeconomics and medical substantial, and cumulative comorbidity risks experiences are the rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and causes due to musculoskeletal deficits among patients [5].…”
