Anti-Carbamylated Antibodies (anti-CarPA) Are Associated with Long Term Disability and Increased Disease Activity in Patients with Early Inflammatory Arthritis: Results from the Norfolk Arthritis Register (NOAR)
Background/Purpose: Anti-CarPA have been shown to predict development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients with arthralgia. However, little is known about their association with disease…Abstract Number: 1174 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluating MRI-Detected Tenosynovitis of the Hand and Wrist in Early Arthritis
Background/Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sensitive method to detect local inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), visualizing synovitis, bone marrow edema and tenosynovitis. The…Abstract Number: 2368 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impact of Physicians’ Adherence to Treat-to-Target Strategy on Outcomes in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose We have previously shown that in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remission targeted, intensive combination treatment, regardless of initial infliximab, results in remission in most…Abstract Number: 1176 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Feasibility and Clinical Implication of Radiocarpal Cartilage T1ρ MR Imaging in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose Rheumatoid arthritic (RA) disease progression and anti-rheumatic treatment efficacy have traditionally been monitored by evaluation of radiographs. However, MRI has emerged as a more…Abstract Number: 2161 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interest of Systematic Lyme Serology in Context of Recent Onset Arthritis
Background/Purpose Lyme arthritis is a late manifestation of a tick-transmitted spirotechal infection, mainly caused by Borrelia burdorgferi. Lyme arthritis typically presents as a mono- or…Abstract Number: 1138 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) Genetic Variants Determine VIP Serum Levels and Could be Used As a Prognosis Biomarker
Background/Purpose: VIP has shown immunoregulatory properties in assays performed with human or murine cells. VIP has demonstrated a therapeutic effect in a murine model of…Abstract Number: 2138 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Radiological Outcomes after Two Years of Remission Steered Treatment in Early Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: We investigated whether early, remission steered treatment can prevent damage progression in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or undifferentiated arthritis (UA), and aimed…Abstract Number: 904 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasound Synovitis Reflects Synovial Inflammation at a Histopathological Level
Background/Purpose: Ultrasound (US) is widely used by rheumatologists to assess inflammatory burden on patients with inflammatory arthritis. Some studies have shown that US measures of…Abstract Number: 2144 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cuantification of Hand Bone Mineral Density By Radiogrammetry and Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry in Early Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: The evaluation of cortical bone mineral density (BMD) on metacarpal bones by digital radiogrammetry (DXR) has been proven to be a simple, reliable and…Abstract Number: 423 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Circulating Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies and Cytokines As Biomarkers of Response to Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs Therapy in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose Serial measurement of circulating anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) and cytokines is of potential importance in the management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However,…Abstract Number: 3016 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Measuring the Impact of an Early RA Support and Education Program Using a Program Evaluation with Patient Identified Outcomes
Background/Purpose The Early RA Support and Education Program addresses the unique psycho-educational needs of people recently diagnosed (Abstract Number: 1960 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
NF-κB-Inducing Kinase (NIK) Is Expressed in Synovial Endothelial Cells in Early Arthritis Patients and Correlates with Local Disease Activity and Systemic Markers of Inflammation
Background/Purpose The NF-κB family of transcription factors is strongly involved in synovial inflammation. We have previously shown that NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) is a key regulator…Abstract Number: 408 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
14-3-3η Auto-Antibody Positivity Informs Better Clinical Outcomes in RA
Background/Purpose We have previously reported pilot data that patients who are only positive for 14-3-3η auto-antibodies (AAb) and negative for the 14-3-3η protein have a…
