as well as&#44; weakness in her temporal&#44; carotid and radial pulses of her left side&#46; The diagnostic study found relevant analytical data&#44; including her positivity for rheumatoid factor&#44;

although they induce an initial remission in 90&#37; of the patients&#46; It is estimated that approximately half of the effects will be resistant to them&#44; and it will be necessary to add immunosuppressive agents &#40;azathioprine&#44;
