A simplified lung ultrasound for the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease in connective tissue disease: a meta-analysis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Immunological studies of giant cell arteritis (GCA) suggest that a triggering antigen of unknown nature could generate a specific immune response. We thus decided to detect autoantibodies directed against endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the serum of GCA patients and to i...
