Effect of Foot Orthoses on Midfoot Pain and the Volume of Bone Marrow Lesions in the Midfoot: A Randomized Mechanism of Action Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Foot orthoses are thought to improve pain by potentially modifying internal mechanical forces. To test this, we explored whether foot orthoses can modify patterns of bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in people with midfoot pain. Methods Forty‐two people were recruited with midfoot pain, and magnetic resonance imaging–confirmed midfoot BMLs ...

Is Arterial Stiffness Related to Body Height? [PDF]

Hypertension, 2010
To the Editor: Experts1 consider aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) as the supreme index of arterial stiffness, mainly because it is an independent predictor of cardiovascular complications.2 However, the noninvasive assessment of PWV is critically dependent on the measurement of the travel distance of the arterial pulse wave.3 Variability between ...

Ultrasonography Compared With Computed Tomography in Identifying Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms in Patients With Giant Cell Arteritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objectives of this study were to evaluate the correlation and agreement between ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) in measuring ascending aorta diameter in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) and to investigate the development of new ascending aortic aneurysms in patients with newly diagnosed GCA.

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
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.
