Relationship Between Vertebral Deformities And Allergic Diseases

چکیده
Methods: We divided 360 atopic dermatitis patients into six groups in the treatment frequency to compare a treatment effect. We investigated the existence of the diurnal secretion quantity change of adrenal cortex hormone to judge the present condition of the adrenal cortex functions of 1,699 atopic dermatitis patients and bronchial asthma patients. We investigated the spinal condition of 1,028 atopic dermatitis patients and bronchial asthma patients to consider the relationship between the allergic disease and the spinal misalignments. We implemented Takeda Method to 906 bronchial asthma patients and 1,827 atopic dermatitis patients and chased the treatment effect.

High prevalence of vertebral deformities in COPD patients: relationship to disease severity.
Bone mineral density decreases with advancing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) severity, but it is not known whether this is reflected in higher fracture rates. The present authors wanted to compare the prevalence of vertebral deformities in COPD patients with those in a population-based reference group to determine whether the number of deformities was related to the severity of CO...
متن کاملQuantitative ultrasound and bone mineral density: discriminatory ability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and controls with and without vertebral deformities.
BACKGROUND Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is a reliable tool for discriminating between subjects with and without vertebral deformities in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Less is known about osteoporosis caused by inflammatory diseases or corticosteroid use. OBJECTIVES (1). To compare in patients with rheumatoid arthritis the ability of QUS and dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DXA) to discrimina...
متن کاملBritish Journal of Rheumatology 1997;36:220–224 METHODS TO SCORE VERTEBRAL DEFORMITIES IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
The objective was to compare four different scoring methods for vertebral deformities: the semiquantitative Kleerekoper score and three quantitative scores (according to Minne, Melton and Raymakers) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Lateral radiographs of the thoracic and lumbar vertebral column were scored in 52 RA patients treated with corticosteroids (Cs) and 52 RA patients not Cs ...
متن کاملQuantitative ultrasound does not identify patients with an inflammatory disease at risk of vertebral deformities
BACKGROUND Previous studies from our group have shown that a high prevalence of vertebral deformities suggestive of fracture can be found in patients with an inflammatory disease, despite a near normal bone mineral density (BMD). As quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the heel can be used for refined assessment of bone strength, we evaluated whether QUS can be used to identify subjects with an inf...

OBJECTIVE To examine variables associated with bone mineral density (BMD) and vertebral deformities in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from 3 northwest European countries. METHODS Female patients were recruited from rheumatology clinics in Oslo, Norway; Truro, UK; and Amsterdam, The Netherlands (150 total, 50 per center, age 50-70 years, disease duration > or = 5 years). Demographic and ...
