Are Repeat Renal Biopsies Important in Managing Lupus Nephritis Flares?
Background/Purpose Lupus nephritis (LN) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. The role of repeat kidney biopsies (RB)…Abstract Number: 1659 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Clinical Relevance of a Repeat Biopsy in Lupus Nephritis (LN) Flares
Background/Purpose: Renal biopsy is the gold standard for assessing renal activity and hence guiding treatment. Whether a repeat renal biopsy is helpful during flares of…Abstract Number: 882 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Signature of microRNAs Overexpressed in Inflamed Temporal Arteries of Patients with Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that suppress gene expression at post-transcriptional level. MiRNAs can regulate innate and adaptive immunity. Moreover, they have been…Abstract Number: 793 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Preliminary Analysis of Histological Findings in Diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis Biopsy Positive Patients
Background/Purpose A positive temporal artery biopsy (TAB) with giant cells, active inflammation and intimal hyperplasia is the gold standard test for diagnosing temporal arteritis. However,…Abstract Number: 792 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is Temporal Artery Biopsy the Gold Standard for the Diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis?
Background/Purpose: The only test that confirms diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is a temporal artery biopsy showing vasculitis with mononuclear cell inflammatory infiltrates, often with…Abstract Number: 791 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Clinical Manifestations in Different Histological Subsets of Biopsy-Proven Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) showing transmural inflammation is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA). In some cases of…Abstract Number: 790 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Correlations Between Histopathological Findings and Clinical Manifestations in a Large Monocentric Cohort of Patients with Biopsy-Proven Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a vasculitis that involves large and medium sized arteries in patients older than 50 years. Temporal artery biopsy (TAB)…Abstract Number: 788 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Fast-Track Diagnostic Procedure for Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose Giant cell arteritis (GCA) represents the most common primary vasculitis among adults aged 50 years or above. Recently, the national annual incidence rate in…Abstract Number: 785 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Incidence, Prevalence and Survival of Biopsy-Proven Giant Cell Arteritis in Northern Italy
Background/Purpose: To investigate the incidence, prevalence and mortality of biopsy proven giant cell arteritis (GCA) over a 27-year period in a defined area of northern…Abstract Number: 371 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inflammatory Cell Infiltrates In The Heart Of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease With and Without Inflammatory Rheumatic Disease: A Biopsy Study
Background/Purpose: Systemic rheumatic diseases (SRDs) are associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity due to accelerated atherosclerosis. However, SRDs are associated also with cardiac vasculitis that…Abstract Number: 218 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Role Of Salivary GLAND Ultrasound In Sjogren Syndrome: A Single Center Experience
Background/Purpose: There is increasingly scientific evidence of salivary gland ultrasonography accuracy and usefulness in diagnosing Sjogren Syndrome. [1-2] Methods: 82 patients with suspected Sjogren Syndrome…Abstract Number: 148 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Microarray Analysis Of Synovial Specimen of Early Human (CHECK) and Experimental Osteoarthritis to Identify Pathways and Processes Associated with Pathology
Background/Purpose: The majority of osteoarthritis (OA) patients show synovial inflammation, even relatively early during the disease. We used microarray analysis of synovial tissue of early…Abstract Number: 1666 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Negative Temporal Artery Biopsies: Pathologic Findings Of Patients With Biopsy-Negative Giant Cell Arteritis Compared To Those Of Patients Without Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) showing transmural inflammation is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA). A negative TAB does…Abstract Number: 896 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Rho Kinase (ROCK) Activity In Temporal Artery Biopsies From Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA)
Background/Purpose: ROCKs are implicated in the pathogenesis of many vascular diseases. ROCK activation is associated with Th17 differentiation and production of Th17-associated cytokines, IL-17 and…Abstract Number: 602 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Repeat Biopsy In Lupus Nephritis: A Single-Center Experience
Background/Purpose: Renal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an important cause of morbidity and even mortality. Lupus nephritis has diverse morphologic manifestations with varying clinical…
