Distal Interphalangeal Joint Erosions Assessed By HR-pQCT in Patients with Psoriatic Onycholysis
Background/Purpose: A third of cases of skin psoriasis are complicated by potentially incapacitating psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Nail psoriasis, especially onycholysis, is present in more than…Abstract Number: 1273 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effect of Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Protein Antibodies and Rheumatoid Factor on Bone Erosions in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Using HR-pQCT: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background/Purpose: Concomitant presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) is associated with higher erosive disease burden in patients with established rheumatoid…Abstract Number: 1275 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluation of Spine and Tibia Bone Microarchitecture Using Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) and HR-pQCT in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis
Background/Purpose: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by new bone growth that leads to syndesmophytes formation. However, AS patients present low bone…Abstract Number: 2800 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Microarchitecture and Bone Strength in Patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome: A Case-Control Study Using HR-pQCT
Background/Purpose: To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD), microarchitecture, strength and prevalence of vertebral fractures (VF) in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).Methods: We evaluated 71 female pSS…Abstract Number: 358 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Microstructure Assessed By Hrpqct in Subjects with Hyperuricemia without Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Gouty arthritis is a common inflammatory joint disorder and hyperuricemia (HU) is known to be the main risk factor. Beside clinical signs of inflammation…Abstract Number: 1315 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Detecting Subtle Changes in Bone Structure Following Three-Month Anti-TNF Theraphy Using High-Resolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography
Background/Purpose: Radiographs have been traditionally used to detect bone erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but they are not sensitive to…Abstract Number: 1323 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Reaching Consensus – Volumetric Joint Space Width Calculations in Finger Joints of Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Joint space width (JSW) is suggested as an indirect measure of arthritis disease activity and could be used as a measure of radiographic progression…Abstract Number: 2047 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Randomised Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of Vitamin D Supplementation in Juvenile-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Effects on Microarchitecture Measured By HR-pQCT
