Journal ArticleDOI

An explanation for the apparent dissociation between clinical remission and continued structural deterioration in rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Subclinical joint inflammation detected by imaging techniques explains the structural deterioration in RA patients in clinical remission who are receiving conventional therapy and reinforces the utility of imaging for the accurate evaluation of disease status and the prediction of structural outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence of significant synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis patients with disease-modifying antirheumatic drug-induced clinical remission: evidence from an imaging study may explain structural progression.

TL;DR: Most RA patients who satisfied the remission criteria with normal findings on clinical and laboratory studies had imaging-detected synovitis, which may explain the observed discrepancy between disease activity and outcome in RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Very early treatment with infliximab in addition to methotrexate in early, poor-prognosis rheumatoid arthritis reduces magnetic resonance imaging evidence of synovitis and damage, with sustained benefit after infliximab withdrawal: Results from a twelve-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: Remission induction with infliximab plus MTX provided a significant reduction in MRI evidence of synovitis and erosions at 1 year, and functional and quality of life benefits were sustained, despite withdrawal of inflIXimab therapy, which may have significant implications for the optimal use of expensive biologic therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation and reproducibility of ultrasonography in the detection of synovitis in the knee-A comparison with arthroscopy and clinical examination

TL;DR: Ulasonography is a valid and reproducible technique for detecting synovitis in the knee, and is more accurate than clinical examination, and may be valuable as a tool in studies investigating pain, diagnosis, and treatment response in knee arthritis.
