Sjögren Disease—B Cells at the Brink: From Autoimmunity to Lymphomagenesis and the Rise of Novel B Cell–Targeted Therapies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Sjögren disease (SjD) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the exocrine glands, resulting in dryness. Patients frequently exhibit extraglandular manifestations affecting various organ systems. To date, there are no US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved disease‐modifying therapies for SjD. In this review, we

Management of proximal interphalangeal joint injuries [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2007
Injuries to the proximal interphalangeal joint are common but frequently missed. They are often overtreated by prolonged immobilization, resulting in stiffness, which may be permanent. The purpose of the present article is to briefly review the relevant anatomy and biomechanics, present an approach to physical examination and diagnosis, and propose a ...

Functional Impact of Structural Damage in Psoriatic Arthritis: Insights from a Prospective Cohort Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To examine the association between radiographic structural damage and physical function (PF) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods Data were analyzed from a large longitudinal PsA cohort. PF was measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ, 0–3) and Short Form‐36 PF subscale (SF‐36, 0–100); radiographic joint damage was measured ...

autoscoRA: Deep Learning to Automate Sharp/van der Heijde Scoring of Radiographic Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Regular imaging by conventional radiography to assess for joint damage is a cornerstone in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. Scoring systems to quantify such damage, such as the widely used Sharp/van der Heijde (SvdH) score, are limited by the requirement of time and experienced staff as well as intra‐ and interrater variability.

Extensor tendon repair an overview [PDF]

Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences, 2015
The incidence of extensor injuries is more than that of flexor tendon injuries. This is to a great extent because of the extensors being superficially placed and covered by skin and subcutaneous tissue over the distal part of the upper extremity.
