Abstract Background/Aims Conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) remain a cornerstone in managing chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases by slowing disease progression and improving patients’ quality of life. These are often prescribed to women childbearing age, raising concerns about their safety management during pregnancy. Although guidelines exist regarding the use csDMARDs pregnancy, they sometimes insufficient, clinical practices among rheumatologists...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease frequently associated with comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases. RA patients are more prone to physical inactivity than the general population.
Abstract Introduction Foot problems are very common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Podiatric intervention through therapeutic education of RA patients on the different potential foot could improve patients' knowledge and management their problems. This study aimed to evaluate podiatric related illness care practices. Methods was a cross‐sectional including diagnosed with aged older than 18 years. Sociodemographic data, disease characteristics, data were collected. practice assessed using...
Introduction Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a common rheumatic inflammatory disease and can impact patients’ work productivity. We aimed to evaluate the of pain catastrophizing central sensitization on outcomes in young SpA patients determine predictive factors productivity loss. Material methods performed cross-sectional study over 6 months. included aged between 18 50 years old, diagnosed with axial or peripheral SpA. Pain were assessed using Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) Central Sensitization...
Reactive arthritis is a rare form of spondyloarthropathies occurring after genital or enteric infection. It most often self-limited but can progress to chronic spondylarthritis. We report the case 30-year-old man who presented with acute 2 months an episode urethral discharge. Physical examination revealed polyarthritis, dactylitis, sacroiliac joint involvement, and plantar papulosquamous plaques. The human leukocyte antigen B27 was positive. Detection
Acroparesthesia is a symptom characterized by subjective sensation, such as numbness, tingling, prickling, and reduced affecting the extremities (fingers toes). Despite its frequency, data regarding diagnostic approach management are scarce. The etiological diagnosis of acroparesthesia sometimes challenging since it can be due to abnormality anywhere along sensory pathway from peripheral nervous system cerebral cortex. reveal several diseases. It associated with rheumatic complaints...
Objectives Nail unit is one of the targets ultrasound (US) assessment. We aimed to compare parameters clinically normal nail in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients with healthy controls (HC) and evaluate their correlations disease activity. Methods This was a cross‐sectional study including PsA matched HC. Tender (TJC) swollen joint count (SJC), Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), Disease Activity Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) were collected patients. Patients underwent US assessment...
Rheumatic manifestations can reveal hypothyroidism, such as arthritis and non-specific musculoskeletal symptoms. We report herein the case of an acute polyarthritis revealing Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Hormone replacement therapy leads to resolution related thyroiditis, suggesting role thyroid hormone in pathogenesis arthritis.
Reactive arthritis is a rare form of spondyloarthropathies that develops in response to genital or intestinal infection. We report the case reactive with skin manifestations, occurring after urethritis. Long term antibiotic treatment associated sulfasalazine and diclofenac led control disease activity levels.
Rheumatic manifestations can reveal hypothyroidism, such as arthritis and nonspecific musculoskeletal symptoms. We report herein the case of an acute polyarthritis revealing Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Hormone replacement therapy leads to resolution related HT, suggesting role thyroid hormone in pathogenesis arthritis.
Foot function is usually assessed using self-reported outcome measures which remain subjective in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Physical performance tests were recommended for functional assessment lower limb osteoarthritis. However, foot assessment's guidelines RA are lacking. We aimed to investigate the correlation between a measure and two performance-based physical assessing patients.A cross-sectional study was performed over 7 months' period including patients. used...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can affect foot, thus compromising the patient's gate and autonomy. We assessed foot function RA patients by Arthritis Outcome Score (RAOS) score, investigated associated factors to impaired function.
Abstract Introduction Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) level was found to be correlated with disease activity indexes in rheumatoid arthritis [1]. This association not yet investigated children oligoarticular and polyarticular Juvenile idiopathic (JIA). Objectives The present study aims investigate the correlation between GGT disease-related parameters JIA. Methods We performed a retrospective including patients JIA responding 2001 International League of Associations for Rheumatology...
Involvement of posterior elements the spine in spinal tuberculosis is rare. We report a case 56-year-old woman who presented with asymptomatic tenth and eleventh costotransverse joints. The latter was discovered CT scan made to look for pulmonary embolism. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed liquid joints paravertebral abscess. patient managed conservatively. Although rare, should be known by surgeons. MRI key diagnosis. Conservative treatment standard treatment, surgery reserved...
Background Several scoring systems have been developed to quantify ultrasound (US) abnormalities of the entheses in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). These scores included lower limb, triceps tendon, and lateral epicondylar tendon [1] [2]. Studies regarding involvement supraspinatus enthesis SpA are scarce. Objectives This study aimed assess axial using ultrasonography. Methods We performed a cross-sectional case-control including 74 subjects (148 entheses): • G1: 37 radiographic...
Background Madrid Sonographic Enthesis Index (MASEI) is an ultrasound (US) score for the evaluation of enthesis including inflammatory abnormalities and chronic damage in spondyloarthritis (SpA) [1]. This includes bilaterally: plantar aponeurosis, Achilles tendon, distal proximal patellar ligament, quadriceps, brachial triceps tendons. Objectives We aimed to study diagnosis value MASEI axial spondyloarthritis. Methods conducted a case-control 74 subjects divided into 2 groups: -G1: 37...
