Reappraisal of bone scintigraphy as a new tool for the evaluation of disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Scientific Reports, 2021
We aimed to compare the reliability of bone scintigraphy (BS) and fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)—derived parameters in the detection of active arthritis in 28-joint areas and evaluate the reliability of joint ...

Correlation of DAS 28 Score and Treatment Compliance with Depression and Anxiety in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Research
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by synovial inflammation, joint destruction, and significant disability. Psychological factors, particularly depression and anxiety, are prevalent among RA patients and can impact disease management and treatment adherence.

SAT0056 Rheumatoid arthritis magnetic resonance imaging score (RAMRIS) can predict DAS-28 therapy response after 6 months: results of the german arthromark cohort [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2017
Background Remission is the ultimate goal in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The absence of rheumatoid factors (RF) and /or anti-citrullinated protein (CCP) antibodies, no bone erosions on conventional x-rays, the presence of low disease activity, and early therapeutic intervention are established good prognostic markers.

Asymptotic optimality of the quasi-score estimator in a class of linear score estimators [PDF]

, 2006
We prove that the quasi-score estimator in a mean-variance model is optimal in the class of (unbiased) linear score estimators, in the sense that the difference of the asymptotic covariance matrices of the linear score and quasi-score estimator is ...

AB0288 Levels of metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) correlate better with clinical disease activity index (CDAI) and simplified disease activity index (SDAI) than standard disease assessment score (DAS-28) [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2018
Background The MMP-3 is a matrixin calcium-dependent zinc-containing; the major expressed in rheumatoid synovial tissue; with essential role in the degradation of both aggrecan and collagen fibrils. Objectives The aim was to evaluate the correlation of MMP3 levels with assessment scores of RA activity.

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.

Investigating the role of score following in automatic musical accompaniment [PDF]

, 2009
When suitable accompanists are not available to a soloist musician, an alternative possibility is to use computer-generated accompaniment. A computer accompanist should interact with the soloist and adapt to the soloist's playing as a human accompanist ...
