The Use of Imaging in the Diagnosis of Polymyalgia Rheumatica: Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis
Background/Purpose ACR/EULAR provisional classification criteria for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) incorporate musculoskeletal ultrasound of shoulder and hip (bursitis and synovitis given equal weight). Our objective was…Abstract Number: 1308 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antinucleosome Antibodies As Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers in Childhood Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: The role of antinucleosome antibodies (ANuA) in the immunopathogenesis of SLE is evident. ANuA was shown to be a good, if not better than…Abstract Number: 2588 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Which Characteristics of Inflammatory Back Pain (CBP) Forecast the Presence of HLA-B27? Results from the Esperanza Cohort
Background/Purpose: CBP is often the starting point for a suspicion of axSpA. In the ASAS-criteria for axial SpA either MRI of the SI-joints or HLA-B27-testing…Abstract Number: 1258 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays for Detection of Anti-Transcriptional Intermediary Factor-1 Gamma and Anti-Mi-2 Autoantibodies in Dermatomyositis: Utility and Crossreactivity
Background/Purpose Anti-transcriptional intermediary factor 1 (TIF-1) and anti-Mi-2 antibodies (Abs) are myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSA) selectively detected in dernatomyositis (DM) patients. Anti-TIF-1 Ab is frequently found…Abstract Number: 2586 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Which Characteristics of Inflammatory Back Pain (CBP) Forecast the Presence of Sacroiliitis on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)? Results from the Esperanza Cohort
Background/Purpose: CBP is often the starting point for a suspicion of axSpA. In the ASAS-criteria for axial SpA either MRI of the SI-joints or HLA-B27-testing…Abstract Number: 400 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinical Utility of 14-3-3η in the Evaluation of Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose 14-3-3 proteins are chaperonins found in all eukaryotic cells. There are multiple isoforms which are thought to be involved in intracellular signaling and transcription…Abstract Number: 2534 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ocular Surface Temperature in Early Sjogren’s Syndrome and Established Disease
Background/Purpose Due to a variety of factors it is challenging to make a definite diagnosis in the early stages of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). The ocular…Abstract Number: 357 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Development and Validation of a Diagnostic Bead-Based Multiplex Autoantibody Assay:Screening for Autoantibodies to Detect “Seronegative” Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Autoantibodies (auto-Ab) against citrullinated peptides (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) are important biomarkers in the diagnostic process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, RF or…Abstract Number: 2540 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sjö™, an Advanced Diagnostic Panel for Detection of Sjögren’s Syndrome Autoantibodies
Background/Purpose Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a complex autoimmune disease involving the salivary and lacrimal glands along with various systemic manifestations. It is a difficult disease to…
