Gene Expression Profile in Muscle Tissue before and after Immunosuppressive Treatment in Patients with Myositis
Background/Purpose Autoimmune muscle diseases such as polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) are characterized by infiltration of inflammatory cells, production of cytokines and chemokines, as well…Abstract Number: 1118 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Olecranon Bursitis Is Often Hemorrhagic and Responds to Steroid Injections
Background/Purpose . Olecranon bursitis is a common presentation to an outpatient rheumatology practice. The differential diagnosis includes crystalline bursitis (gout and pseudogout), inflammatory bursitis due…Abstract Number: 919 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Glucocorticoid Exposure and Fracture Risk in a Large Cohort of Commercially-Insured Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Under Age 65
Background/Purpose Systemic glucocorticoid use can increase fracture risk, although dose-specific effects are not well understood, especially in younger adults. Underlying diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis [RA])…Abstract Number: 824 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impact of Oral Glucocorticoid Therapy on Mortality in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Diabetic Mellitus
Background/Purpose Glucocorticoid (GC) therapy is known to increase the risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Furthermore, GC therapy increases blood glucose in diabetic…Abstract Number: 29 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impaired Bone Healing in Patients Suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis – Anti-Inflammatory Therapy As Confounder
Background/Purpose Anti-inflammatory treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with glucocorticoids (GC) and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is supposed to negatively influence bone metabolism and healing. It…Abstract Number: L13 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Monthly Ibandronate Reduces Bone Loss in Osteopenic Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis Receiving Long-Term Glucocorticoids: A 48-Week Double-Blinded Randomized Placebo-Controlled Investigator-Initiated Trial
