Objective. The purpose of the ULISSE study was to evaluate prevalence clinical and ultrasonographic (US) entheseal involvement in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriasis, fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Methods. In this cross-sectional multicenter study, PsA psoriasis (not taking systemic therapy) FMS underwent a evaluation entheses, B-mode power Doppler examination 6 pairs entheses. Results. analyzed 140 PsA, 51 FMS. Clinical US examinations were performed 1960 1680 entheses group,...
To develop an Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) ultrasonography score for monitoring disease activity giant cell arteritis (GCA) and evaluate its metric properties.The OMERACT Instrument Selection Algorithm was followed. Forty-nine members of the large vessel vasculitis working group were invited to seven Delphi rounds. An online reliability exercise conducted using images bilateral common temporal arteries, parietal frontal branches as well axillary arteries from 16 patients with...
Abstract Objective To establish by means of fast spin echo (FSE)–T2‐weighted sequences with fat saturation if enthesitis the flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus tendons is primary lesion in spondylarthritis (SpA) finger dactylitis. Methods Eleven dactylitic fingers their corresponding normal, contralateral fingers, belonging to 6 patients who met Amor criteria for SpA, were studied FSE–T2‐weighted saturation. Results All showed moderate or severe fluid collection tendon synovial...
Protein Energy Wasting (PEW) in hemodialysis (HD) patients is a multifactorial condition due to specific pathology-related pathogenetic mechanisms, leading loss of skeletal muscle mass HD patients. Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging still represent the gold standard techniques for body composition assessment. However, their widespread application clinical practice difficult evaluation mainly based on conventional anthropometric nutritional indexes bioelectrical impedance...
Since the severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic outbreak, vaccines gained a growing role. Possible vaccine-related side effects range from minor local events to more prominent systemic manifestations up anaphylactic reactions. A heterogeneous spectrum of cutaneous reactions has been reported, ranging injection site urticarial and morbilliform eruptions, pernio/chilblains zoster flares. Here, we describe case varicella virus reactivation following mRNA...
To investigate the inflammatory involvement of shoulder articular and extraarticular structures in polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) patients with a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at diagnosis.This was case-control study. All consecutive, untreated new outpatients diagnosed as having PMR ESR (<40 mm/hour) during 6-month period were included study (case patients). Controls 12 an >40 mm/hour who observed after case patients. Before starting corticosteroid therapy, all controls...
