Multidimensional Assessment to Differentiate Early Psoriatic Arthritis from Cutaneous Psoriasis
Background/Purpose: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) develops in ~20-30% of psoriasis patients. However, early PsA diagnosis is challenging due to heterogeneous, subtle symptoms and overlap with psoriasis…Abstract Number: 1988 • ACR Convergence 2025
Advancing Vascular Assessment: Combining NIRS-VOT and Ultrasound-Based Brachial Artery Diameter for Improved Diagnostics in Healthy Controls and APS
Background/Purpose: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy combined with Vascular Occlusion Test (NIRS-VOT) is a non-invasive diagnostic method for assessing microvascular function. However, its diagnostic accuracy is often limited…Abstract Number: 2674 • ACR Convergence 2025
Pulmonary ultrasound findings and their relationship with clinical characteristics and myopathy antibodies in a cohort of patients with myositis
Background/Purpose: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of diseases characterized by muscular and systemic involvement, with interstitial lung disease (ILD) being a challenging problem.…Abstract Number: 0507 • ACR Convergence 2025
Diagnostic performance of the lacrimal and salivary gland ultrasound in patients with primary Sjogren’s disease of recent onset versus sicca controls.
Background/Purpose: Sjögren's disease (SjD) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the exocrine glands. There is an increasing use of salivary gland ultrasound in…Abstract Number: 1528 • ACR Convergence 2025
Influence of Prednisone use over cardiovascular risk in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem autoimmune disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly due to cardiovascular complications. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease…Abstract Number: 2092 • ACR Convergence 2025
Associations Among Biomarkers, Cytokines, and Ultrasound Features of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Cross-Sectional Analysis in the Johnston County Health Study
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, characterized by progressive joint degeneration, chronic pain and functional impairment (PMID: 24024017). While imaging modalities…Abstract Number: 2695 • ACR Convergence 2025
B-cell depletion and lymphoid follicle disruption upon different B-cell depleting agents
Background/Purpose: Advanced protein-based therapies targeting B-cells, including glycoengineered CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab (OBI) and the CD19/CD3 T-cell engager blinatumumab (BLI), show promise for managing severe…Abstract Number: 0520 • ACR Convergence 2025
Implementation of Salivary Gland Ultrasound by General Radiology can Improve Detection of Glandular Inflammation in Patients with Sicca
Background/Purpose: Salivary Gland Ultrasound (SGUS) can be useful in the evaluation and management of Sjögren’s Disease (SjD) but its use has been limited to trained…Abstract Number: 1680 • ACR Convergence 2025
Major salivary gland ultrasonographic features of lymphoma and high lymphoproliferative risk lesions in Sjögren’s Disease: a systematic review
Background/Purpose: Sjögren's disease (SjD) is burdened by significant lymphoproliferative risk. Up to date there is no established consensus on the salivary gland ultrasonographic (SGUS) features…Abstract Number: 2159 • ACR Convergence 2025
Teaching Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Improves Knowledge and Confidence in the Knee Exam: A Pilot Session with Internal Medicine Trainees
Background/Purpose: Poor confidence in musculoskeletal (MSK) care among practicing internists and internal medicine (IM) trainees is well described in the literature. A needs assessment of…Abstract Number: 2702 • ACR Convergence 2025
