Mean lung attenuation, skewness, and kurtosis are histogram-based densitometry variables that quantify systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and were recently merged into a computerized integrated index (CII). Our work tested the CII in low-dose 9-slice (reduced) and standard high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate extensive SSc-ILD and predict mortality.

Recent advances imply that early events triggering rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occur at mucosal surfaces. We aimed to evaluate whether intestinal permeability is altered in patients at increased risk of RA, and/or predicts the development of clinical arthritis, by measuring serum zonulin family peptides (ZFP) levels, which are shown to reflect intestinal barrier integrity.
