Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Purpose We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.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 MRI‐confirmed midfoot BMLs.

Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging for the Evaluation of the Sacroiliac Joint in Pediatric Patients
Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Background 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.

Effects of Aging on Fracture Healing [PDF]
Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2017 This review summarizes research on the physiological changes that occur with aging and the resulting effects on fracture healing.Aging affects the inflammatory response during fracture healing through senescence of the immune response and increased systemic pro-inflammatory status.

Financial Distress and its Determinants in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective To quantify the degree of financial distress and identify its determinants in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) given the frequent chronic use of expensive disease modifying therapies. Methods We identified adults enrolled in the FORWARD databank with either RA or non‐inflammatory musculoskeletal disease (NIMSKD) completing the Functional

Cyclical micromovement and fracture healing [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1995 We studied 56 patients with fractures of the tibial shaft in a multicentre prospective randomised trial of three methods of external fixation. Group I was treated with a fixator which was unlocked at 4 to 6 weeks to allow free axial compression (axial dynamisation) with weight-bearing. Group II was treated with a fixator that was similarly unlocked at

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objective We aimed to test the efficacy of personalized treatment of older Veterans with chronic low back pain (CLBP) delivered by Aging Back Clinics (ABC) as compared with usual care (UC). Methods Two hundred ninety‐nine Veterans age 65‐89 with CLBP from 3 VA medical centers underwent baseline testing, randomization to ABC or UC and 12 months follow ...

The effectiveness and safety of parathyroid hormone in fracture healing: A meta-analysis
Clinics, 2019 The very large economic and social burdens of fracture-related complications make rapid fracture healing a major public health goal. The role of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in treating osteoporosis is generally accepted, but the effect of PTH on fracture ...

Fracture Healing Is Delayed in Immunodeficient NOD/scid‑IL2Rγcnull Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Following bone fracture, the repair process starts with an inflammatory reaction at the fracture site. Fracture healing is disturbed when the initial inflammation is increased or prolonged, whereby, a balanced inflammatory response is anticipated to be ...
