Ankylosis of the finger joints in rheumatoid arthritis.
The ordinary manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis are well known and readily recognized. They are subject to wide variations and, as they deviate farther from the conventional picture, diagnosis becomes difficult, doubtful, or even impossible. The aetiology is unknown and proof of diagnosis is lacking. Even the proposed diagnostic criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (Ropes, Bennett, Cobb, Jacox...
متن کاملTwo- and Three-Dimensional Optical Tomography of Finger Joints for Diagnostics of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common diseases of human joints. This progressive disease is characterized by an inflammation process that originates in the inner membrane (synovalis) of the capsule and spreads to other parts of the joint. In early stages the synovalis thickness and the permeability of this membrane changes. This leads to changes in the optical parameters of the sy...
متن کاملImaging of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Finger Joints by Sagittal Optical Tomography
In early stages of rheumatoid arthritis some changes in joints arise due to an inflammatory process. In the case of transillumination with near infrared light these changes affect the radiation transport in joints. We performed first numerical simulations for a basic approach of a sagittal optical tomographic imaging method that led to promising results. For this purpose, the optical properties...
متن کاملComparing bone mineral density in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Background: Changes in patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which can be due to the use of corticosteroid drugs to reduce patients' symptoms or due to the aging process in patients. In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
