Optimising use of electronic health records to describe the presentation of rheumatoid arthritis in primary care: a strategy for developing code lists [PDF]
Background Research using electronic health records (EHRs) relies heavily on coded clinical data. Due to variation in coding practices, it can be difficult to aggregate the codes for a condition in order to define cases.

Rheumatoid rosette in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
The rheumatoid rosette test was performed in 159 children. Positive results were found more frequently in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when more than four joints were involved. It is not to be considered as a diagnostic test since `false positive' tests occur in other diseases. The immunological significance of the rosette test is discussed.

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients
Objective Maturational signal in the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) of skeletally immature youth is often misinterpreted as inflammation. Diagnostic tools that improve specificity are greatly needed. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values from diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), when used with standard imaging, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.
