OBJECTIVE
To examine the prevalence and characteristics of shoulder involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of shoulder lesions defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with AS.
METHODS
Prevalence of shoulder involvement was ascertained
Flexor enthesopathy is a recently recognized elbow disorder in dogs and considered to be an important differential diagnosis for elbow lameness. Primary and concomitant forms of the disease have been previously described and treatments differ for the two forms. The goal of this prospective study was
To report thigh muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tests of four Chinese patients with dystrophinopathy with edema changes in adductor longus muscles that mimics adductor enthesopathy.
Four boys, who were from four unrelated families and aged from 5 to 11 years, were investigated because of the
OBJECTIVE
To study the role of biomechanical factors and HLA-B27 in plantar fasciitis.
METHODS
T1-weighted and T2 spectral presaturation with inversion recovery (fat suppressed) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences of the plantar fascia insertion and adjacent bone were performed on 28 patients
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common autoimmune systemic disease of the connective tissue affecting individuals in the developmental age. Radiography, which was described in the first part of this publication, is the standard modality in the assessment of this condition. Ultrasound and
BACKGROUND
The cause of navicular tuberosity pain in adolescents with flexible flatfeet is not well understood. We hypothesized that some of the navicular tuberosity pain may be related to insertional enthesopathy of the posterior tibial tendon at the navicular. Magnetic resonance imaging was
BACKGROUND
Enthesopathy is an evolving area for applied clinical research. MRI is the gold standard in the diagnosis of elbow joint pathology, but recent reports indicate that ultrasound imaging is more sensitive and accurate than MRI in detecting enthesopathy of the heels and knees. Too many
Adult hip pathologies are mainly represented by the degenerative disease, so called "osteoarthrosis, or more precisely coxarthrosis". The means of imaging are exposed, according to their specific value: X Rays (measurement of the characteristic angles of the adult hip), Arthrography, CT Scanner,
Osteoarticular manifestations in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) belong to the concept of spondyloarthritis (SpA) including an axial and peripheral SpA according to predominant symptoms (inflammatory back pain vs. peripheral arthritis and enthesopathy). Careful examination of sacroiliac joints on
Hip disorders in a pediatric population are a diagnostic challenge. The aim of the study is to assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of non-traumatic hip disorders in a series of Egyptian patients and to review the literature on the most common hip conditions. Seventy
BACKGROUND
Osteitis pubis is characterized by diffuse pain, inflammation, and bony changes in the pubic symphysis. Bone marrow edema in magnetic resonance imaging is associated with stress injury and osteitis of the pubic bone.
OBJECTIVE
Laparoscopic mesh repair decreases inflammation and pain in
OBJECTIVE
To determine the overall and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of alitretinoin (9-cis-retinoic acid) in combination with tamoxifen and the pharmacokinetics of alitretinoin alone and when combined with tamoxifen in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The effect of tamoxifen and
For the past 15 years, high-resolution ultrasonography (US) is being routinely and increasingly used for initial evaluation and treatment follow-up of rheumatologic diseases. This imaging technique is performed by using high-frequency linear transducers and has proved to be a powerful diagnostic
OBJECTIVE
Seronegative arthropathies are associated with inflammatory enthesopathy. The involvement of Achilles tendon and plantar aponeurosis is common, with strong tendency toward fibrosis and calcification. This study tests the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound (US) in depicting enthesitis, and
OBJECTIVE
To determine alterations of the soft tissues, tendons, cartilage, joint spaces, and bones of the foot using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients with psoriasis.
METHODS
Clinical and MR examination of the foot was performed in 26 consecutive patients (52 ft) with psoriasis. As a
