Evaluation of peripheral enthesitis in spondyloarthritis: Ultrasonography versus clinical examination

Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2017
Background: Enthesitis is an important feature of spondyloarthritis but may often be subclinical. Data is sparse, especially from India, on the ultrasonography (USG) detection of enthesitis in these patients.

Residual inflammation in psoriatic arthritis patients in stable minimal disease activity

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundIn psoriatic arthritis (PsA), low disease activity as defined by the Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) index is considered a good treatment target.

Enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis – is the clinical evaluation enough? [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Rheumatology, 2020
Objective. In this study, we aim to evaluate the frequency of enthesitis in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), using musculoskeletal ultrasonography (MSUS) and to determine to what extent it is correlated to clinical spontanous or provoked pain, disease activity

Safety of Prescription Nonsteroidal Anti‐inflammatory Drugs in Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Data From a Large Administrative Claims Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The concern that nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may precipitate flares of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has limited their use in managing musculoskeletal symptoms in those with IBD, but safety data are mixed. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients with IBD aged at least 18 years from Optum's deidentified ...

Do diseases cause entheseal changes at fibrous entheses? [PDF]

International Journal of Paleopathology, 2013
Fibrous entheses have been widely used to study activity-related stress to infer behavioural patterns in past populations. Unlike their fibrocartilaginous counterparts, the effect of disease processes has been less widely discussed in the osteoarchaeological literature.

Assessment of enthesitis in ankylosing spondylitis [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2003
To assess, firstly, the validity of the enthesis index published by Mander (Mander enthesis index (MEI)) and, secondly, to investigate whether it is possible to define a new enthesis index that is less time consuming to perform with at least similar or better properties.Data from the OASIS cohort, an international, longitudinal, observational study on ...

Associations of Lifestyle‐Related Factors and Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity: The Dutch South West Psoriatic Arthritis Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This study aims to investigate lifestyle‐related factors in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and their association with disease activity measurements. Methods This multicenter cohort included 938 patients who were newly diagnosed with PsA between 2013 and 2023.

From Adult to Adolescent: Alignment in Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Axial Spondyloarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing axial and peripheral forms, with up to 20% of patients developing symptoms before age 16. Despite this substantial pediatric burden, treatment options for juvenile‐onset SpA (JSpA), particularly those with axial disease (axJSpA), remain limited.

A Systematic Review of the Inclusion of Non-Inflammatory Ultrasonographic Enthesopathy Findings in Enthesitis Scoring Indices

Diagnostics, 2021
Ultrasound has advanced the diagnosis and management of patients with inflammatory rheumatic conditions. It can be used to identify and monitor enthesitis, a cardinal feature of spondyloarthropthies.
