Journal ArticleDOI

Amy M. Brownawell,Stanley Berent,Robert L. Brent,James V. Bruckner,John Doull,Eric Gershwin,Ronald D. Hood,Genevieve M. Matanoski,Raphael Rubin,Bernard Weiss,Meryl H. Karol +10 more
TL;DR: This review has uncovered no convincing evidence pointing to any adverse health effects that are attributable to dental amalgam restorations besides hypersensitivity in some individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pathogenesis of Primary Biliary Cholangitis: A Comprehensive Review.
TL;DR: This review highlights and discusses the most relevant pathogenetic mechanisms in PBC, focusing on the key factors that lead to the onset of cholestasis and immune activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D in primary biliary cirrhosis, a plausible marker of advanced disease
Nancy Agmon-Levin,Nancy Agmon-Levin,Ron Kopilov,Carlo Selmi,Udi Nussinovitch,Udi Nussinovitch,María Sánchez-Castañón,Marcos López-Hoyos,Howie Amital,Howie Amital,Shaye Kivity,Shaye Kivity,Eric Gershwin,Yehuda Shoenfeld,Yehuda Shoenfeld +14 more
TL;DR: Low vitamin D levels are common among patients with PBC and correlate with advanced disease, lack of UDCA therapy and autoimmune comorbidity, alludes to the plausible roles of vitamin D as a prognostic marker of PBC severity, and as a potential player in this disease pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antinuclear antibody profile in UCD line 200 chickens: a model for progressive systemic sclerosis.
Matthias Stefan Gruschwitz,Yehuda Shoenfeld,Margalit Krupp,Eric Gershwin,Eduard Penner,Hans-Peter Brezinschek,Georg Wick +6 more
TL;DR: In UCD-200 chickens, there is a progressive increase in autoantibodies to histones, to ssDNA and--to a lesser degree--dsDNA with peaks at the age of 60 and 120 days, to poly(I) and poly(G) with a peak at 120 days and an elevation in anti-cardiolipin antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Analysis of Collagen and Endogenous Virus Loci in the UCD-200 and 206 Lines of Chickens, Animal Models for Scleroderma
Roswitha Sgonc,Roswitha Sgonc,Roswitha Sgonc,Hermann Dietrich,Hermann Dietrich,Hermann Dietrich,Eric Gershwin,Eric Gershwin,Alfonso Colombatti,Alfonso Colombatti,Georg Wick,Georg Wick,Georg Wick +12 more
TL;DR: As in the human disease, no gross alteration at the genomic level of collagen genes has been found, thus providing the UCD-200/206 model to be appropriate for studying the altered collagen metabolism in systemic sclerosis (SSc).
