The Changing Epidemiology of Inpatient Gout and Associated Mortality: A 17-year National Study
Background/Purpose: Knowledge gaps exist regarding time-trends for the main causes (Cardiac/renal disease vs. infections) hospitalizations in gout. Therefore, we examined whether specific causes (cardiovascular, renal,…Abstract Number: 0684 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Shrinking Toe: A Sign of Crystal Dissolution During Urate Lowering Treatment of Severe Gouty Arthropathy
Background/Purpose: Serum urate (SU) lowering has been reported to improve gout erosions. We observed that it may also lead to compaction of toe MTP or…Abstract Number: 0697 • ACR Convergence 2020
Inferior Tendon Structure and Function Seen in Patients with Achilles Tendinopathy and Neovascularization of the Achilles Tendon
Background/Purpose: In prior research, the incidence rate of neovascularization with Achilles tendinopathy ranged between 47-88% of cases. The purpose of this study was to identify…Abstract Number: 0700 • ACR Convergence 2020
Lipoxin A4 Induces Lipid Class Switching and Inflammation Resolution at the Genomic Level in Human Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Human OA-affected cartilage does not show the cardinal signs of inflammation (redness and swelling with heat and pain—rubor et tumor cum calore et dolor) because…Abstract Number: 0701 • ACR Convergence 2020
miRNome Sequencing Identifies a Unique Profile of Circulating MicroRNAs in Early Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: MicroRNAs have been shown to contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) pathophysiology, yet little is known about the circulating miRNome in OA. The circulating miRNome (e.g.…Abstract Number: 0696 • ACR Convergence 2020
Femoral Cartilage Ultrasound Echo-Intensity Associates with Arthroscopic Cartilage Damage in People Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
