Acaban de aparecer publicadas en la revista Annals of Rheumatic Diseases las primeras guías de práctica clínica latinoamericanas del lupus eritematoso sistémico, que han sido realizadas por el Grupo Latinoamericano de Estudio del Lupus (GLADEL) y la Pan-American League of Associations of Rheumatology (PANLAR).

Es de destacar la nutrida representación de ex-fellows del Servicio de Enfermedades Autoinmunes del Hospital Clínic de Barcelona entre los autores, los cuales suman un total de 16: Claudio Galarza (Ecuador), José A. Gómez-Puerta (Colombia / Cataluña), Guillermo Pons-Estel, Rosa Quintana, Victoria Collado, Soledad Retamozo, Valeria Arturi, Silvana Conti, Marina Scolnik (Argentina), Manuel Ugarte-Gil, Rocío Gamboa  (Perú), Ricardo Robaina, Ernesto Cairoli (Uruguay), Isabel Acosta (Paraguay), Paula Burgos (Chile) y Violeta Rosario (República Dominicana).

Todos ellos constituyen la nueva generación de “lupólogos” latinoamericanos (también conocida como GLADEL 2.0) y combinan una amplia formación clínica y de investigación en sus países de origen adquirida junto a los más prestigiosos especialistas latinoamericanos en esta enfermedad (los conocidos como GLADEL 1.0), así como la experiencia europea adquirida en su estancia por el Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.

Second edition of the PAMedinterna-Autoimmune Diseases International Meeting and gathering of the Portuguese former fellows of the Department of Autoimmune Diseases of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona (Porto, Portugal, 7-9 November 2018)

A new edition of the PAMedinterna-Autoimmune Diseases International Meeting took place in Porto, Portugal, on 7-9 November 2018, organized by Prof. Carlos Vasconcelos, former fellow of the Department of Autoimmune Diseases of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona (1994) and Dr. Carlos Dias.

Portugal has traditionally played a leading role in advancing knowledge about autoimmune diseases and the country has a very strong autoimmunologist community, joining internists, pediatricians, rheumatologists, nephrologists and others.

Prof. Carlos Vasconcelos and Dr. Carlos Dias, internists and autoimmunologists of Hospital Santo António and Hospital S. João in Porto, made the decision to join PAM-Porto´s Autoimmune Meeting and Medinterna, in order to have the biggest international meeting on autoimmune diseases in Portugal.  

This event also allowed the gathering of many of the Portuguese former fellows of the Department of Autoimmune Diseases of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, as shown in the attached picture. So far, more than 50 Portuguese internists and rheumatologists have performed a clinical and research training at this Department, thus strengthening relations between Portugal and Catalonia in the field of Autoimmunity.
