Detection of clinically manifest and silent synovitis in the hands and wrists by fluorescence optical imaging
OBJECTIVES The correct identification of synovitis is critical for achieving optimal therapy results. Fluorescence optical imaging (FOI) is a novel modality based on the use of an intravenous fluorophore, which enables fluorescent imaging of the hands and wrists with increased focal optical signal intensities in areas of high perfusion and/or capillary leakage. The study objective was to determ...
متن کاملPrevalence and prognosis of asymptomatic vertebral artery origin stenosis in patients with clinically manifest arterial disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The risk of ischemic stroke in patients with asymptomatic vertebral artery stenosis is unknown. We examined the incidence of posterior circulation ischemic stroke in patients with asymptomatic stenosis of the vertebral artery origin (VAo). METHODS We studied a hospital-based cohort of 3717 patients (median age, 60 years; interquartile range, 52 to 68 years) with atheros...
متن کاملIncidence of clinically manifest ulcers and their complications in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
BACKGROUND Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are often prescribed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Because of its frequency and severity, NSAID gastropathy is the most important side effect. The clinical spectrum of NSAID gastropathy includes gastrointestinal complaints, ulcers and their complications. To reduce NSAID gastropathy, rheumatologists in greater Amsterdam dec...
متن کاملSerum Vaspin Levels Are Associated with the Development of Clinically Manifest Arthritis in Autoantibody-Positive Individuals
OBJECTIVES We have previously shown that overweight may increase the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in autoantibody positive individuals. Adipose tissue could contribute to the development of RA by production of various bioactive peptides. Therefore, we examined levels of adipokines in serum and synovial tissue of subjects at risk of RA. METHODS Fifty-one individuals positive fo...
