Scoring systems for hip involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis exist, however, they were not used daily practice, and their reproducibility was proven. We aimed to determine the applicability, reliability, repeatability of two scoring patients. Two expert pediatrics rheumatologists analyzed pelvic radiographs from 25 children with JIA involvement. scored findings according previous valid (The childhood Arthritis Radiographic Score Hip newly developed score proposed by project...
The spectrum of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) in Africa is still largely unknown. We thus set out to illustrate how we up the PAFLAR JIA registry and describe clinical profile across various regions Africa. carried a retrospective observational cohort study where collaborators were trained on use existing REDCAP database enter data for patients currently under their care capturing epidemiological data, features, laboratory investigations, diagnosis therapy at initial diagnosis....
Knee osteoarthritis, a chronic degenerative disease, is becoming public health problem around the world due to increasing life expectancy.We aimed assess impact of knee osteoarthritis on quality (QoL) patients and identify factors associated with impaired QoL.We conducted cross-sectional monocentric study including osteoarthritis. The pain was evaluated by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). short form injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS-PS) used functional impact. QoL assessed using...
Objectives We aimed to determine the discriminative values of pro-inflammatory cytokines distinguish spondyloarthritis patients from healthy subjects and assess association between these characteristics.
<title>Abstract</title> Background The spectrum of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) in Africa is still largely unknown.

Methods carried a retrospective observational cohort study where collaborators were trained on use existing PAFLAR REDCAP database enter data for JIA patients currently under their care capturing epidemiological data, clinical features, laboratory investigations, diagnosis and...
Background: Whether land-or aquatic-based rehabilitation is more effective in improving knee osteoarthritis (OA) still unclear.This study assessed the effectiveness of treatments patients with OA.Methods: The participants were divided into a land-based exercise group (G1, n=30) and water-based (G2, n=30).The exercises performed for 8 weeks.The primary endpoint was response to physical therapy, defined as 20% decrease summed score Western Ontario McMaster Universities-Osteoarthritis Index...
The role of IL-22 in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis is not fully elucidated. Thus, there a need for new insights into this cytokine disease. We aimed to compare interleukin (IL)-22 level between spondyloarthritis, nonspecific-low back pain patients, and pain-free controls, evaluate associations characteristics.We conducted case-control study including 62 patients with (G1), 46 nonspecific low (G2), 42 healthy volunteers (G3). was measured using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay....
<ns4:p>Rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) is a rare but serious extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its varied clinical presentation makes it hard to diagnose and treat. Hereby we describe case an aortitis revealing RV, which complication RA. A 56-year-old man with treated methotrexate presented fever, chest pain arthritis. Blood tests revealed inflammatory syndrome associated cholestasis. The diagnosis pericarditis was retained. Cholestasis mostly due methotrexate. patient...
Background: The cardiovascular burden in inflammatory rheumatic diseases is well recognized. This has been reported spondyloarthritis. Atherogenic indexes are known with their role of predicting risk. Objectives: aim our study was to determine the relation between pro-inflammatory cytokines and atherogenic Methods: We performed a cross sectional including 38 patients spondyloarthritis according ASAS criteria. For each patient we measured interleukin (IL)1, IL6, IL17, IL23 tumor necrosis...

<h3>Background</h3> Several studies reported that matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3), an enzyme of the proteolytic system, is implicated in pathogenesis and progression several rheumatic diseases [1]. <h3>Objectives</h3> We aimed to compare MMP-3 serum levels between spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients healthy controls. <h3>Methods</h3> conducted a case-control study, including 164 subjects divided into two groups, all matched for age gender: G1 82 SpA patients, diagnosed according ASAS 2009...
<h3>Background</h3> Several studies showed that the activity of proteinases, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), is increased in inflamed tissue, via overproduction pro-inflammatory cytokines, spondyloarthritis (SpA) [1]. <h3>Objectives</h3> Our study aimed to assess correlation between serum levels MMP-3 and disease SpA. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted a cross-sectional patients with SpA, diagnosed according ASAS 2009 criteria. ELISA technique was used measure levels. CRP ESR were...
Abstract Introduction Inflammation plays a crucial role in impaired bone metabolism [1]. Subchondral marrow oedema (BME) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was associated to mineral density (BMD) loss adult spondyloarthritis BME less studied juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Objectives We aimed study the link between MRI and BMD JIA patients. Methods conducted retrospective of 44 patients with who fulfilled International League Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) 2001 criteria. For each...
