Objective This collaboration between the American College of Rheumatology and Association Hip Knee Surgeons developed an evidence‐based guideline for perioperative management antirheumatic drug therapy adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA) including ankylosing spondylitis psoriatic arthritis, juvenile idiopathic (JIA), or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) undergoing elective total hip (THA) knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A panel rheumatologists, orthopedic...
Objective. Although new treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are extremely effective in preventing disease progression, rates of total knee replacement (TKR) continue to rise. The ongoing need TKR is problematic, especially as functional outcomes patients with RA have been reported be worse than osteoarthritis (OA). purpose this study assess pain, function, and quality life 2 years after contemporary compared OA. Methods. Primary cases enrolled between May 1, 2007 July 2010 a single...
Objective. The patterns and risks of perioperative use anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) medication in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are not well studied. We examined the anti-TNF risk postoperative adverse events (AE) undergoing total knee replacement (TKR). Method. Retrospective cohort study followup. RA cases within a TKR registry were identified by ICD-9 code (714.0) or self-report. Mailed questionnaires queried duration RA. AE determined chart review patient self-report,...
Older adults continue to be sexually active in their later years. A range of transmitted infections (STIs) such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV have been reported among older adults. Risk factors for STIs populations include (a) normal sexual changes associated with aging (e.g., increased time attain an erection, decreased vaginal lubrication, decreases hormones); (b) psychosocial loss partner or spouse re-entering the dating scene); (c) risky behaviors, including no infrequent...
More adverse events (AE) are reported after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) than osteoarthritis (OA). This study evaluates 6-month postoperative AE in a high-volume center contemporary RA cohort.Patients an institutional registry (2007-2010) were studied. identified by self-report and review of office hospital charts. Subjects matched to 2 OA age, sex, procedure. RA-specific surgical volume was determined. Baseline characteristics compared...
The purpose of this study was to describe the multidimensional nature sexuality in men and women age 55 older compare these on selected dimensions sexuality. community-based sample 1 61 adults (men=69, women=92) completed a 77-item, anonymous questionnaire. Gender differences were found for demographics, health health-related variables, aspects (sexual interest, participation, arid satisfaction) sexual activities. MANOVA yielded significant multivariate F indicating differed combination...
Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a potentially life-threatening syndrome caused by excessive immune activation. Secondary HLH has been described in autoimmune diseases. We detail the case of 28-year-old African American woman who developed setting systemic lupus erythematosus with collapsing podocytopathy superimposed on mesangial proliferative nephritis class II. Genotyping for APOL1 risk alleles revealed presence double (G1/G2) alleles. Our patient achieved complete renal...
Background Preoperative expectations of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) correlate with postsurgical satisfaction, and are linked to outcomes. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), other chronic diseases, may lower expectations, although new biologic medications have greatly enhanced patients’ quality life. Questions/Purposes The purpose this study is compare preoperative RA those matched osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing TKA, examine the subset on DMARD therapy. Methods For a cross-sectional study,...
We assessed the knowledge of patients with regard to association between smoking and bladder cancer, examined impact a novel warning label on raising awareness this issue.We conducted prospective cross-sectional study involving who presented urology family practice clinics. A questionnaire was used assess regarding various diseases. Participants were also asked evaluate for cancer.A total 291 (97%) responded including 143 (95.3%) at clinics 148 (98.7%) Overall only 45.2% respondents aware...
To identify major obstacles to appointment compliance and quantify a measurable effect of simple phone call intervention on the clinic show rate. We retrospectively looked at rates from November 1st, 2013 June 30th, 2014 our Lupus clinic, which is located in Bronx, NY. The scheduled patient chart was crosschecked if made it by verifying provider note. A survey implemented over period 8 weeks July August 12th, 2014. reminder 2–3 days prior visit planned. September April 2015. Data analyzed...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is linked to hemolytic anemia with certain medications and the most common enzyme worldwide. Although American College of Rheumatology does not recommend routine testing for G6PD prior initiation hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), package insert HCQ careful use in patients deficiency.We identified eligible subjects seen at our tertiary care, urban medical center between 1997 2018. Case records were analyzed deficiency, use, length exposure HCQ,...
