Diagnostic Criteria, Classification, and Nomenclature for Painful Bladder Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis: An ESSIC Proposal
Joop P. van de Merwe,Jørgen Nordling,Pierre Bouchelouche,Kirsten Bouchelouche,Mauro Cervigni,L. Kurosch Daha,Suzy Elneil,Magnus Fall,Gero Hohlbrugger,Paul P. Irwin,S. A. Mortensen,Arndt van Ophoven,John L. Osborne,Ralph Peeker,Benedikte Richter,Claus R. Riedl,Jukka Sairanen,Martina Tinzl,Jean-Jacques Wyndaele +18 more
TL;DR: The name IC has become misleading and is replaced by BPS, in line with recent nomenclature recommendations by the European Association of Urology and based on the axial structure of the International Association for the Study of Pain classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of interferon type I signature in CD14 monocytes of patients with Sjögren's syndrome and association with disease activity and BAFF gene expression
Zana Brkic,Naomi I Maria,Cornelia G van Helden-Meeuwsen,Joop P. van de Merwe,Paul L A van Daele,Virgil A. S. H. Dalm,Manon E Wildenberg,Wouter Beumer,Hemmo A. Drexhage,Marjan A. Versnel +9 more
TL;DR: The monocyte IFN type I signature identifies a subgroup of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome with a higher clinical disease activity together with higher BAFF mRNA expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic increase in type I interferon activity in Sjögren's syndrome: a putative role for plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
Manon E. Wildenberg,Cornelia G van Helden-Meeuwsen,Joop P. van de Merwe,Hemmo A. Drexhage,Marjan A. Versnel +4 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that the increased type I IFN activity observed in pSjS patients is not only a local but also a systemic phenomenon and points to pDC as a possible source of this activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A standard for terminology in chronic pelvic pain syndromes: A report from the chronic pelvic pain working group of the international continence society.
Regula Doggweiler,Kristene Whitmore,Jane Meijlink,Marcus J. Drake,Helena Frawley,Jørgen Nordling,Philip M. Hanno,Matthew O. Fraser,Yukio Homma,Gustavo Garrido,Mario João Gomes,Sohier Elneil,Joop P. van de Merwe,Alex T.L. Lin,Hikaru Tomoe +14 more
TL;DR: This document looks at the whole person and all the domains (organ systems) in a systematic way to improve diagnosis and treatment of patients affected by chronic pelvic pain syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI
MxA as a clinically applicable biomarker for identifying systemic interferon type I in primary Sjögren's syndrome
Naomi I Maria,Zana Brkic,Matti Waris,Cornelia G van Helden-Meeuwsen,Kim C. Heezen,Joop P. van de Merwe,Paul L A van Daele,Virgil A. S. H. Dalm,Hemmo A. Drexhage,Marjan A. Versnel +9 more
TL;DR: MxA levels associate with features of active disease and are reduced in hydroxychloroquine-treated patients, suggesting the clinical applicability of MxA in stratifying patients according to IFN positivity, and the MXA-EIA assays were excellent tools to assess IFN type I activity in pSS.
