Preclinical Interstitial Lung Disease in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Early detection and treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may ameliorate disease progression. The objective of the present…Abstract Number: 1309 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Does Anti-C1q Antibody Have Diagnostic and Prognostic Roles in Childhood – Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus?
Background/Purpose: Biomarkers proven to be effective in aSLE patients may not directly apply to cSLE unless validation is done. Existing evidences have shown immunopathogenic roles…Abstract Number: 2772 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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: 2553 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Clinical Value Of Testing For Aphl, a New ELISA Kit With a Unique Phospholipid Mixture In Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Background/Purpose: Antibodies directed to APhL (a mixture of phospholipids) have been reported to predict APS more reliably than aCL tests. We designed this study to…Abstract Number: 2525 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Assay Panel Combining Cell Bound Complement Activation Products With Autoantibodies To Extractable Nuclear Antigens and Mutated Citrullinated Vimentin Helps With The Differential Diagnosis Of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: We previously established the value of cell-bound complement activation products (CBCAPS) in the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (CAPITAL study). The purpose of…Abstract Number: 2274 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessment Of The Diagnostic Accuracy Of Different Strategies For Health Fair Case-Finding For Undiagnosed Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Early treatment of inflammatory arthritis (IA), and especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA), leads to improved outcomes, although diagnostic delays may impede timely treatment. We…Abstract Number: 1891 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Proteomic Profile Of Tears: Can It Help To Diagnose Juvenile Arthritis – Associated Uveitis Prior To The Clinical Signs Of Joints Inflammation
Background/Purpose: Approximately 6% of all cases of uveitis arise in children (Nguyen, Foster, 1998). One of the common causes of uveitis is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis…Abstract Number: 1578 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Decreased Sensitivity Of a Commercial Anti-dsDNA Assay In Patients With Moderately To Severely Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Anti-dsDNA autoantibodies are highly specific for SLE. Anti-dsDNA positivity is an important eligibility criterion in many SLE studies, and decreases in anti-dsDNA levels are…Abstract Number: 1390 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Chaperonin Protein 14-3-3n (eta) In Rheumatoid Arthritis and Arthritogenic Viral Infections
Background/Purpose: The 14-3-3 proteins are ubiquitously-expressed intracellular chaperonins. Expression of the η (eta) isoform is restricted to synovial and CNS tissues. Extracellular 14-3-3η induces proinflammatory…Abstract Number: 1325 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
