Impact of Gout Flare Prophylaxis and Urate-Lowering Therapy on Endothelial Function, Smooth Muscle Responsiveness and Markers of Inflammation: Results of a Prospective Observational Pilot Study
Background/Purpose: To date, most studies of gout and cardiovascular disease have been cross-sectional or retrospective, and have addressed the outcome of acute coronary syndromes. Less…Abstract Number: 378 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effects of a Natural Product Containing Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators in Subjects with OA, RA, or Other Chronic Inflammatory Conditions in a Multi-Clinic Case Series
Background/Purpose: The inflammatory response has an initiation phase and a resolution phase. Ideally, inflammation leads to complete resolution that enables tissue healing and a return…Abstract Number: 506 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship Between Elevations in CRP with Physical Function and Radiographic Progression over the Long-Term in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: For patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), quantification of radiographic progression, through measures such as modified total Sharp score (mTSS), is not routinely captured…Abstract Number: 560 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
There Is No Further Gain from Calculating Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints with High Sensitivity Assays of C-Reactive Protein Because of High Intraindividual Variability of CRP: A Cross Sectional Study and Theoretical Consideration
Background/Purpose: The threshold for reporting of C-reactive protein (CRP) differs from laboratory to laboratory. Moreover, CRP values are affected by the intra individual biological variability.[1]…Abstract Number: 1415 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impact of the Clinical Disease Activity Index to Treat to Target Rheumatoid Arthritis in the Ambulatory Setting
Background/Purpose: Since 2008 the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has been in the process of changing patient care to quality-valued healthcare. In order…Abstract Number: 342 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Effect of Erosive Status on Systemic Inflammatory Biomarkers in Hand Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose : It is debated whether erosive hand osteoarthritis (OA) is a separate inflammatory subset of hand OA, or just a severe form of the same…Abstract Number: 507 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Meta-Analysis of the Time Course of the Response to Adalimumab Plus Methotrexate or Methotrexate Monotherapy in Clinical Trials of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Adalimumab (ADA) plus methotrexate (MTX) and MTX treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been assessed in phase 2–4 clinical trials. This meta-analysis used 5…Abstract Number: 714 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Baseline MRI and CRP As Predictors of Response to Etanercept in the Management of Patients with Non-Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA)
Background/Purpose: Treatment with tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) inhibitors has been shown to be effective in improving disease activity and functional capacity in patients with…Abstract Number: 1527 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum Inflammation Identifies Increased Risk of Frailty in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Frailty has been defined as “an excess vulnerability to stressors, with reduced ability to maintain or regain homeostasis after a destabilizing event” 1. Frailty…Abstract Number: 2681 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Physical Function, Sleep, Depression but Not CRP Level Is Associated with Fatigue in Patients with Established Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by inflammation of the joints and fatigue. Although many studies have identified risk factors for RA-associated fatigue, few studies…Abstract Number: 2429 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Seasonal Changes May Influence Activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: RA activity during the year was assessed to investigate whether seasonal changes influenced parameters of RA activity. Methods: This study was performed in Fukuoka,…Abstract Number: 1621 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Shift Towards Trans-Signalling Explains Relatively Low CRP Despite an Active Interleukin-6 (IL-6)/IL-6-Receptor (IL-6R) System in SLE
Background/Purpose IL-6 has been found increased in SLE, while CRP, which is directly stimulated by IL-6, usually remains low. We therefore analyzed the IL-6/ IL-6…Abstract Number: 1573 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Norwegian Psoriatic Arthritis Patients Are More Obese Than Rheumatoid Arthritis and Axial Spondyloarthropathy Patients
Background/Purpose Higher rates of obesity in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been described. Obesity, C-reactive protein (CRP) and inflammatory arthritides itself…Abstract Number: 1580 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Gender Differences in Disease Activity Accounting for Inflammatory Biomarkers in a Psoriatic Arthritis Routine Care Cohort
Background/Purpose: Routine care cohorts can provide data about patient phenotypes, treatment choices and responses in the 'real world'. Studying the true impact of psoriatic arthritis…Abstract Number: 534 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum Biomarkers of Inflammation and Fibrosis in Advancing Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment of Anti-Ro Associated Congenital Heart Block
Background/Purpose Women with Sjogren’s Syndrome (SS) and anti-Ro antibodies face the risk of a pregnancy complicated by fetal congenital heart block (CHB). Identification of maternal…
