(A): One year posteroanterior (PA) radiograph of another patient, no radiological signs of rheumatoid activity could be detected. (B): One year coronal STIR sequence of both hands, showed multiple tiny bony erosions of the carpal bones (foci of high signal intensity). (C&D) One year coronal T1 sequence of both hands, revealed multiple foci of low T1 signal intensity within the carpal bones consistent with tiny erosions.

Objective: To determine the joint damage progression using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to investigate the predictive value of early MRI for subsequent development of MRI erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methodology: We studied forty RA female patients. Their mean age was 32.7 (±8.6) years. Patients underwent clinical, labor...

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a very common entity, yet monoar-
ticular presentation is very infrequent. We are reporting a
case of sero negative rheumatoid arthritis affecting the knee
joint.
Case: 32-year-old male presented to our department with
pain and swelling of his right knee. There was no other joint
pain, extra-articular manifestation or co...
Objective:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most prevalent inflammatory arthritis worldwide. However, the genes and pathways associated with macrophages from synovial fluids in RA patients still remain unclear. This study aims to screen and verify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to identifying candidate genes related to synovi...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent articular disease, especially in aged population. Caused by multi-factors (e.g., trauma, inflammation, and overloading), OA leads to pain and disability in affected joints, which decreases patients’ quality of life and increases social burden. In pathophysiology, OA is mainly characterized by cartilage hype...
Background:
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), the most common chronic rheumatic disease of childhood, is characterised by synovitis. Clinical assessments of synovitis are imperfect, relying on composite and indirect measures of disease activity including clinician-reported measures, patient-reported measures and blood markers. Contrast-enhanced...
Background
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is performed to treat recurrent patellar instability. Measurement of joint pain and function at the time of surgery has been demonstrated to be a predictor of the final outcomes in many surgical procedures.
Purpose/Hypothesis
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship...
