Background and aimLimited information is currently available about whether carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) correlates with the degree of disease activity in spondyloarthritis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between articular and carotid ultrasound data and laboratory and clinical variables in patients with spondyloarthritis.MethodsTwenty-two patients with spondyloarthritis, recruited consecutively via the spondyloarthritis service of the Universidade Pontifícia Católica de Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, were assessed using carotid artery ultrasound (radiofrequency quality intima-media thickness, RF-QIMT), joint ultrasound, clinical evaluation, and laboratory tests.ResultsMean (standard deviation, SD) carotid RF-QIMT was 0.643 (0.16) mm. Mean (SD) resistive index (RI) values for the right and left carotid arteries were 0.67 (0.12) and 0.82 (0.38), respectively. Mean (SD) RI values for the right and left sacroiliac joints were 1.10 (0.97) and 0.94 (0.13), respectively. Several significant correlations were detected between ultrasound, clinical, and laboratory variables. Notably, there were correlations between sacroiliac RI and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p=0.027) and RF-QIMT (p=0.037); between RF-QIMT and Framingham score (p=0.012) and metabolic parameters, including abdominal waist measurement, body mass index (BMI) (p=0.032 to p=0.044).ConclusionsIn patients with spondyloarthritis, RF-QIMT detected atherosclerotic changes in the carotid artery wall, and spectral Doppler detected inflammatory activity in sacroiliac joints. Positive correlations were observed between these ultrasound findings and parameters reflecting patients’ metabolic profile and alterations in inflammatory markers.

“…Since the mobile commerce (m-commerce) is prevailed, the tourism activities must to adapt to this new channel of information, requiring new tourism marketing strategies (Liu, 2005). Paraphrasing (Ferreira & Putnik, 2008), the "possibility to get useful information depends on the capacity to retrieve, search and interpret it. Considering this and accepting tourist information ubiquity, the actual mobile tourist profile looks real and mobile devices should be the key tool for information retrieval".…”

“…The Open Tourism Initiative proposed by the authors in Ferreira and Putnik (2008) works like a support layer to grant inter-operability among tourism services providers, organized as members of a virtual enterprise, and assure its subsequent reconfiguration inherent to several instances the virtual enterprise suffers along its life-cycle.…”

This paper describes the Open Tourism Initiative (OTI) as a framework to support tourism activities, following the Tourism Virtual Enterprise (TVE) organizational model and pragmatics based collaboration decisions. To assure the better alignment among tourism services providers and client’s expectations, the framework (and its architecture) must support reliable interoperability and dynamic networking reconfiguration as well as the (co-)creation of the tourist’s activity regardless of information systems and using real-time collaboration mechanisms. When a member of the TVE scheduled to provide a given service is somehow conditioned, unable to participate, has to be disentailed from the network, or due to events not necessarily measurable or deterministic, the it is necessary to reconfigure the VE in almost real time. The need to reconfigure could result from changes in controlled (measured) parameters as well as from uncontrolled (contextual and pragmatic) ones. OTI enhances dynamic tourism packages management under the requirements of reconfigurable environments and human direct participation. This article proposes a logical model for TVE organizations as well as an UML formalization for its supporting architecture.
