RANK-L Activity: Understanding the Pathogenesis of Erosive Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Erosive osteoarthritis (EOA) is characterized by osteoarthritic findings with central erosions and collapse of the interphalangeal joint subchondral bone plate. A number of studies…Abstract Number: 1106 • ACR Convergence 2020
MMP Mediated Type I Collagen Degradation Is Associated with Erosive Hand Osteoarthritis in a Hospital-based Observational Cohort – the NOR-HAND Study
Background/Purpose: Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease affecting mainly the interphalangeal and first carpometacarpal joints. The disease manifests as inflammation and deterioration…Abstract Number: 1101 • ACR Convergence 2020
Effect of Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation in Erosive Hand Osteoarthritis: Results from an Open-label Non-randomized Pilot Trial
Background/Purpose: Beyond classical effect on vegetative functions, the activation of the vagus nerve inhibits inflammation and reduces the pain signal. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can…Abstract Number: 1112 • ACR Convergence 2020
Relationship of Depth-Specific Subchondral Bone Mineral Density and Pain in Knee Osteoarthritis: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Background/Purpose: OA has traditionally been considered a disease of cartilage but early OA changes in subchondral bone may precede cartilage abnormalities. Altered subchondral bone mineral…Abstract Number: 1109 • ACR Convergence 2020
Pain in Women with Knee and/or Hip Osteoarthritis Is Related to Systemic Inflammation and to Adipose Tissue Dysfunction and Distribution: A Cross-sectional Metabolic Biomarkers Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Beyond the link between metabolic diseases and osteoarthritis (OA) risk, some studies have suggested an association between metabolic syndrome or visceral obesity and OA-related…Abstract Number: 1104 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Disability Associated with Hand Osteoarthritis Is Substantial in a Cohort of Post-menopausal Women : The QUALYOR Study
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent disease, affecting more than 400 millions individuals around the world. Hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is the most frequent form…Abstract Number: 0996 • ACR Convergence 2020
