Background/Purpose: To evaluate the role of oblique view images in the radiographic assessment of hand osteoarthritis (HOA).Methods: 159 patients of our HOA cohort were included.…Abstract Number: 2388 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Variations in Hip Morphology Are Associated with Hip Symptoms: Preliminary Results from a Large Community-Based Cohort
Background/Purpose: Alterations in hip morphology, such as femoroacetabular impingement, have been associated with incident hip OA and total hip replacement (THR), but associations of these…Abstract Number: 452 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Associations Between Arthritis Patient, Disease-Specific and Provider Characteristics and Medication Information Source Use
Background/Purpose: Few studies have described how patient, disease-specific, and provider factors are associated with medication information source use among arthritis patients. We address this research…Abstract Number: 2394 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
B-Flow Imaging of Synovial Tissue in Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Development of disease modifying medication for osteoarthritis (OA) is desirable, but the target tissue of such treatment remains unclear. We have previously shown that…Abstract Number: 534 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies to Malondialdehyde-Acetaldehyde Adducts Are Highly Expressed in Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fluid
Background/Purpose: Malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) adducts are expressed in synovial tissues in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Post-translational MAA modifications are pro-inflammatory, promoting robust anti-MAA antibody responses that…Abstract Number: 2407 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment in the Non-Obese Versus Obese Populations Across Different Medical Specialties
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in the obese population is underdiagnosed and routinely undertreated, as providers often attribute pain to excess weight without considering articular…Abstract Number: 897 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Intra-Articular Corticosteroids Are Safe and Have No Major Effect on Structural Progression of Synovitic Knee OA: A 2-Year Randomized Controlled Trial of 3-Monthly Triamcinolone Hexacetonide
Background/Purpose: Synovitis is common in knees with OA, and is associated with structural progression. Intra-articular corticosteroids are widely used and could reduce knee OA cartilage…Abstract Number: 2409 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Factors Associated with Physical Therapy Use in Osteoarthritis of the Knee: Results from a Population-Based Study
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. Physical therapy (PT) has previously been demonstrated to benefit patients with osteoarthritis, especially with early…Abstract Number: 928 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Value of Early Ultrasound-Detected Osteophytes in Hand Osteoarthritis: Predicting the Future
Background/Purpose: Ultrasound is more sensitive than conventional radiographs in detecting small osteophytes in hand osteoarthritis (OA). Osteophytes can be seen prior to joint space narrowing…Abstract Number: 2411 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Patient Preference for Using Technology to Track and Self-Manage Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Active and consistent self-management is essential for patients suffering from chronic diseases to improve their health. Electronic clinical (eClinical) technology may improve how patients…Abstract Number: 951 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparative Effectiveness of Tai Chi Versus Physical Therapy in Treating Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized, Single-Blind Trial
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) causes long-term pain and no effective treatments currently exist. Previous trials demonstrated that Tai Chi can improve both physical and mental…Abstract Number: 2412 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessment and Comparison of Responsiveness of Four Patient Reported Outcome Measures to Assess Physical Function in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: WOMAC-PF Subscale Responds Best
Background/Purpose: Although physical function is one of the core outcome domains in knee osteoarthritis (OA), the ability of a measurement instrument to detect changes over…Abstract Number: 953 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effectiveness of a Progressive Resistence Strength Programme on Hand Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Crontrolled Trial
Background/Purpose: Hand osteoarthritis (OA) is highly prevalent, affecting 55-70% of the population over 55 years with an age-related progressive increase. The OA of interphalangeal (IF)…Abstract Number: 2617 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum 14-3-3eta Protein Elevation in Osteoarthritis Suggests Misclassification or Concurrent Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Tissue distribution of the chaperonin 14-3-3η (eta) is limited to synovial tissue and brain. Synovium releases proinflammatory 14-3-3η into synovial fluid and serum in…Abstract Number: 1150 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Novel Chitosan Hydrogels for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis: Mechanical Support, Lubrication and Prevention of Cartilage Degradation in a Rabbit Model of Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Chitosan, a glucosamine polysaccharide, is a good candidate for viscosupplementation in OA joints. Herein, we report the physico-chemical properties and the effects of an…
