Clinical Utility of Joint Space Width and X-Ray Radiogrammetry in RA: Markers for Early Radiographic Progression
Background/Purpose: Early prediction of radiographic progression is beneficial in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient management. The van der Heijde modified Sharp score (SHS) is currently the…Abstract Number: 2404 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Implications of a Positive Patellar Bulge Sign of Knee Joint Effusion in Patients with Osteoarthritis: Association with MRI Signs of Inflammation and with Increased Rate of 5-Year Total Knee Arthroplasty. Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Most of our understanding of the clinical significance of a knee joint effusion is derived from trauma in young patients, with surprisingly little assessment…Abstract Number: 1324 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Simplified Larsen Erosion Score Is Compatible with the Classic Larsen Score but Less Time Consuming in Practice
Background/Purpose: Untreated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often leads to joint space narrowing (JSN) and erosions in synovial joints. Scoring systems like Sharp van der Heijde and…Abstract Number: 2405 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Knee Sounds May Predict Osteoarthritis Severity, Symptoms and Function: Pilot Investigation Toward a Novel Dynamic Imaging System
Background/Purpose: Knee sounds (KS) may provide a low-cost, risk-free means of identifying presence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Unlike static imaging, KS during dynamic…Abstract Number: 1327 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Five-Year Follow-up of Radiographic Sacroiliitis: Progression As Well As Improvement?
Background/Purpose: Detecting sacroiliitis on plain pelvic X-rays is known to be difficult, resulting in large variability regarding presence/absence of radiographic sacroiliitis. In addition, the number…Abstract Number: 3255 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Brain White Matter Integrity: A Future Biomarker for Rheumatoid Arthritis Related Fatigue?
Background/Purpose: Fatigue is a major burden among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The identification of reliable biomarkers would greatly enhance research in this challenging field. …Abstract Number: 1336 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
To PET or Not to PET in General Rheumatology Practice
Background/Purpose: Fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission tomography with computerised tomography (PET/CT) is an imaging modality which identifies tissues with high metabolic activity. It is used in the…Abstract Number: 1375 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
S100A8/A9, a Serum and Imaging Biomarker for Assessing Joint Inflammation and Destruction in Experimental Seronegative Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Seronegative joint diseases such as psoriatic arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis are characterized by the lack of autoantibodies, potent biomarkers used for predicting disease…Abstract Number: 1381 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship Between Serum Cholinesterase, Number of Organ Involvement and Fibrotic Markers in Japanese Patients with IgG4-Related Disease
Background/Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between cholinesterase, number of organ involvement and serum fibrotic markers in Japanese patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Methods: The clinical…Abstract Number: 1445 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Physicians’ Perspectives on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis
Background/Purpose: Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), also known as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), is an autoinflammatory bone disease of unknown cause that can result in…Abstract Number: 1505 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis in Patients with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis: Predictors of Plaque Occurrence and Progression over 24 Weeks
Background/Purpose: This study evaluated the prevalence and progression of subclinical carotid artery atherosclerosis in active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Carotid arteries of RA patients were scanned…Abstract Number: 1595 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Impaired Coronary Flow Reserve in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Robust Indicator of Cardiac Structure Associated with Systemic Inflammation and Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatments
Background/Purpose: Myocardial microvascular dysfunction may precede or coexist with coronary atherosclerosis and heart failure, two conditions over-represented in RA. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) offers an…Abstract Number: 162 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasonography Versus Clinical Examination in Early DMARD-Naïve Rheumatoid Arthritis – a Comparative Study of Synovitis on the Individual Joint Level
Background/Purpose: Ultrasonography (US) is increasingly accepted as an important tool in diagnosis and management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, it is not well known to…
