Objective Evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of long-term low molecular weight
heparin (LMWH) in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) that had not previously …

Objective To compare the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis measured by means of
pulse wave velocity (PWV) in women with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) versus a healthy …

Purpose To evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in
women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and whether changes in cardiorespiratory …

Objective Homocysteine has been linked to atherosclerosis and hypertension (HT) in the
