Ixekizumab Is Effective in the Treatment of Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis Regardless of the Level of C-Reactive Protein or Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scores
Background/Purpose: IL-17 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA). Elevated CRP levels in serum predict response to TNF inhibitors (TNFi).1-4…Abstract Number: 591 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Longitudinal Assessment of MRI of the Sacroiliac Joints in the ASAS Classification Cohort: Evolution of Diagnostic Features and Predictive Utility for Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Follow up of the ASAS Classification Cohort (CC) indicated a high positive predictive value for the ASAS classification criteria derived from baseline patient and…Abstract Number: 1738 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Tracking Whole-Brain Volumetric Trends in Childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients in the Clinical Setting by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background/Purpose: The course of childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (cSLE) commonly includes neurocognitive dysfunction, a manifestation with poor prognosis. It has been challenging to diagnose and…Abstract Number: L05 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Treatment-Naïve, Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Demonstrate Reversible Abnormalities of Vascular Function on Cardiac MRI with RA Therapy with Preliminary Suggestion of Greater Improvement with Anti-TNF Compared to MTX/Conventional Therapy – a First, RCT Derived Longitudinal Study
Background/Purpose: We previously reported abnormal cardiac MRI (CMR)-determined aortic stiffness in patients with early, treatment-naive RA1,2. We now report on whether this vascular stiffness is…Abstract Number: 319 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Patterns of Muscle Oedema, Atrophy and Fatty Replacement in the Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: A Single-Centre Retrospective Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data
Background/Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used as a non-invasive tool to aid diagnosis and monitor disease activity in the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs).…Abstract Number: 390 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Severe Axial and Pelvifemoral Muscle Damage in Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy Evaluated By Whole-Body MRI
Background/Purpose: Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNM) are a severe condition with early muscle damage attested by MRI of thigh muscles. Presence of damage in the other…Abstract Number: 420 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Accelerated Knee Osteoarthritis Is Characterized By Destabilizing Meniscal Tears and Pre-Radiographic Structural Disease Burden
Background/Purpose: A subset of adults who develop knee osteoarthritis (KOA) quickly progress from no radiographic disease to advanced-stage disease often in ≤12 months. Adults with…Abstract Number: 431 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Early Pre-Radiographic Structural Pathology Precedes the Onset of Accelerated Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Individuals that develop accelerated knee osteoarthritis (AKOA) have more frequent knee pain, decreased physical function, and are more likely to receive a knee replacement…Abstract Number: 562 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Low Inflammation on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis That Achieved Sustained Clinical Remission on Adalimumab
Background/Purpose: ACR and EULAR recommend bDMARD tapering in patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who achieved stable clinical remission. Yet, there are limited systematically collected…Abstract Number: 863 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Combining Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Right Heart Catheterization to Evaluate Right Ventricular Function for the Prognosis Prediction in Patients with Connective Tissue Diseases and Pulmonary Hypertension
Background/Purpose: Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with connective tissue diseases (CTD-PAH), particularly PAH associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc-PAH), has a poor prognosis compared with other PAH.…Abstract Number: 952 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effusion-Synovitis and Infrapatellar Fat Pad Edema Differentiate Accelerated Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Accelerated knee osteoarthritis (AKOA) is a unique endotype of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) that is characterized by a sudden onset of advance-stage disease and greater…Abstract Number: 954 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A New Way to Think about Composite Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scores to Measure Osteoarthritis Severity and Progression
Background/Purpose: For some rheumatologic diseases (e.g. lupus), separate scores evaluate cumulative damage and disease activity. No such strategy exists for osteoarthritis (OA). The prevailing approach…Abstract Number: 1646 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prevalence of Spondyloarthritis in Patients with Anterior Uveitis
Background/Purpose: Anterior uveitis (AU) is a common extraarticular manifestation in spondyloarthritis (SpA). The disease can precede the typical axial and peripheral features. Additionally, some studies…Abstract Number: 2196 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Kinetics of Tissue-Specific Distribution of 18f-Fluorodeoxyglucose in Positron Emission Tomography in Large Vessel Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET may be used to quantify vascular inflammation in large-vessel vasculitis (LVV). Quantitative analysis of arterial FDG uptake has not been standardized. Delayed…Abstract Number: 306 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Role of Inflammation in the Evolution of MRI Erosions in the Feet of Patients with Early RA
Background/Purpose: Patients with aggressive RA develop early structural damage. As persistent inflammation is associated with bone erosions, assessing inflammatory activity may be key in treatment…
