Combination with Joint Power Doppler Signals with Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Predicts Joint Destruction in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose , Categorizing RA patients who require intensive treatments is highly warranted to optimize the therapy and to avoid overtreatments. We here evaluated the use…Abstract Number: 1715 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Detection Of Enthesitis In Children With Enthesitis-Related Arthritis: Dolorimeter Examination Compared To Ultrasonography
Background/Purpose: To evaluate the distribution of enthesitis and accuracy of physical examination (PE) for the detection of enthesitis in children, using ultrasound with power Doppler…Abstract Number: 1283 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Power Doppler Ultrasound Phenotyping of Expanding Versus Collapsed Popliteal Lymph Nodes in Murine Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease manifested by episodic flares in affected joints that are challenging to predict and treat. Longitudinal contrast…Abstract Number: 298 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Preliminary Prospective Study Of Ultrasonography In Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis In Clinical Remission: Subclinical Synovitis May Predict Flare?
Background/Purpose: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood and has variable prognosis, characterized by periods of activity and remission.…Abstract Number: 234 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Power Doppler Modalities Of 5 Ultrasound Machines Perform Very Differently, Ascertained By a Microvessel Flow Phantom
Background/Purpose: In many patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) subclinical disease activity can be detected with ultrasound (US), especially using power Doppler US (PDUS).[1-3] However, in…Abstract Number: 107 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sensitivity to Change of the Ultrasound synovitis SONAR Score in RA Patients : Results of the Scqm Cohort
Background/Purpose: Since the end of 2009, an ultrasound scoring call SONAR has been implemented for RA patients as a routine tool in the SCQM registry…Abstract Number: 110 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparing Palmar and Dorsal Ultrasound Assessment of Small Joint Synovitis in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Dorsal Greyscale Mode Yields Significantly Better Concordance with Power Doppler
Background/Purpose: MCP and PIP joints are frequently involved in rheumatoid arthritis. Complete ultrasound assessment of these joints requires the palmar and the dorsal approach for…Abstract Number: 113 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Power Doppler Signal Is Frequently Positive Among Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in Clinical Remission and Normal Serum Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) Levels
Background/Purpose: Serum matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) is useful bio markers of synovitis associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Ultrasonography (US) has recently become more popular as a…Abstract Number: 701 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Vascular Differences Associated to Genetic Polymorphisms of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase in Mexican Patients with Systemic Sclerosis. A Preliminary Report
Background/Purpose: Vascular dysfunction usually is observed before clinically detectable fibrosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). The eNOS catalyses the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), which maintains…Abstract Number: 2107 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessing Subclinical Synovitis in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Arthrosonographic Findings in Patients with Good Response to Therapy
Background/Purpose: Treat-to-target is a key principle in rheumatoid arthritis. Composite scores such as the DAS-28 help to monitor disease activity and response to therapy. However,…
