Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by fibrous or bony ankylosis and deformity of spine. We report the perioperative course of a patient with long standing ankylosing spondylitis with fixed flexion deformity of the cervical spine and restricted mouth opening. She was scheduled for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery and we performed an awake fiber optic na...
Study Design Case report. Objective The purpose of the present case report was to present a patient with a history of ankylosing spondylitis who sustained a dislocation of C6 on C7 and died soon after his presentation in the emergency room (ER). Methods An 88-year-old man was brought to the ER due to a neck injury secondary to a fall. Imaging of the cervical spine revealed anterior dislocation ...
Patients with ankylosing spondylitis may uncommonly develop apical fibrobullous lung disease, the cause of which is unknown. It is postulated here that rigidity of the thoracic cage leads to reduced apical clearance of inhaled particles and may thereby predispose to chronic infection. Deposition and clearance of inhaled technetium-99m sulphur colloid particles were studied in eight male patient...
TNF blockade therapy has substantially advanced the treatment of peripheral spondyloarthritides but revolutionised the treatment of severe ankylosing spondylitis. The capacity of biologic treatment to improve dramatically symptoms and quality of life in patients with spinal disease is undoubted, although important questions remain. Notable amongst these are concerns about skeletal disease modif...
The histological appearance of percutaneous superficial paraspinal muscle biopsy specimens from eight patients with ankylosing spondylitis was compared with that of biopsy specimens from 13 control patients with similar degrees of disability and spinal immobility due to severe, chronic mechanical back pain. In both groups marked type II muscle fibre atrophy was shown. Additionally, in patients ...
The diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis is often delayed due to ambiguous clinical manifestations and strict diagnostic criteria. However, imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging have been found effective for the early diagnosis of non-radiographic sacroiliitis. New tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors have good efficacy for patients with persistently high disease activi...
BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterised by spinal inflammation, progressive spinal rigidity, and peripheral arthritis. Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is thought to be a key inflammatory cytokine in the development of ankylosing spondylitis, the prototypical form of spondyloarthritis. We assessed the efficacy and safety of the anti-IL-17A monoclo...
In the absence of an ideal objective measure for assessing ankylosing spondylitis (AS), self-administered measures of disease activity (the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, BASDAI) and function (the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index, BASFI) have been developed, in addition to an objective measure of spinal mobility (the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index, ...
Pain threshold was measured in 106 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 50 with ankylosing spondylitis, and 50 normal controls using Keele's algometer. In rheumatoid arthritis patients with a low pain threshold had more severe pain for a greater part of the day and required more tablets for pain relief. In ankylosing spondylitis the pain threshold was higher and was not related to pain or analge...
