Linking Power Doppler Ultrasound to the Presence of Th17 Cells in the Rheumatoid Arthritis Joint
BACKGROUND Power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) is increasingly used to assess synovitis in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Prior studies have shown correlations between PDUS scores and vessel counts, but relationships with T cell immunopathology have not been described. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS PBMC were isolated from healthy controls (HC) or RA patients and stimulated ex vivo with PMA and ionom...
متن کاملClinical and Ultrasound Examination of the Leeds Enthesitis Index in Psoriatic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Objective. To compare scores for the Leeds enthesitis index in psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis using clinical assessment and ultrasonography (US). Design. Swelling and tenderness of the enthesis was assessed at six sites: lateral epicondyles of humerus (LE), medial condyles of femur (MC), and the insertion of the Achilles tendon (AT). US assessed "inflammatory activity" (power Dopp...
متن کاملEvaluation of Rheumatoid Arthritis using Thermography and Colour Doppler Ultrasound
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic autoimmune disease characterised by chronic inflammation of several joints. The main symptoms are morning stiffness, joint swelling, inflammation, neovascularisation and synovial hyperplasia. Early detection helps to minimise disease progression, however, there is no single test for the diagnosis for RA. A series of test, namely, radiography, subje...
متن کاملType I interferon response gene expression in established rheumatoid arthritis is not associated with clinical parameters
BACKGROUND A peripheral blood interferon (IFN) signature (i.e., elevated type I interferon response gene [IRG] expression) has been described in a subset of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the present study, we systematically assessed the association between this IRG expression and clinical parameters. METHODS Expression of 19 IRGs was determined in peripheral blood from 182 conse...
متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis patients with fibromyalgic clinical features have significantly less synovitis as defined by power Doppler ultrasound
BACKGROUND In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) clinical measures of disease activity may not reliably discriminate between patients with active inflammatory disease and those with concomitant fibromyalgia (FM). Recent work has shown RA patients with a 28 tender joint count (TJC) minus swollen joint count (SJC) of 7 or more (joint count criteria) are more likely to meet classification cri...
