Journal ArticleDOI
Natural history of individuals with asymptomatic disc abnormalities in magnetic resonance imaging : Predictors of low back pain-related medical consultation and work incapacity
Norbert Boos,Norbert K. Semmer,Achim Elfering,Volker Schade,Imre Gal,Marco Zanetti,Rudolf O. Kissling,Niklaus Buchegger,Juerg Hodler,Chris J. Main +9 more
TL;DR: Physical job characteristics and psychological aspects of work were more powerful than magnetic resonance imaging–identified disc abnormalities in predicting the need for low back pain–related medical consultation and the resultant work incapacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
TNF blockers inhibit spinal radiographic progression in ankylosing spondylitis by reducing disease activity: results from the Swiss Clinical Quality Management cohort
Christoph Molnar,Almut Scherer,Xenofon Baraliakos,Manouk de Hooge,Raphael Micheroli,Pascale Exer,Rudolf O. Kissling,Giorgio Tamborrini,Lukas M Wildi,Michael John Nissen,Pascal Zufferey,Jürg Bernhard,Ulrich Weber,Robert Landewé,Désirée van der Heijde,Adrian Ciurea +15 more
TL;DR: TNFis are associated with a reduction of spinal radiographic progression in patients with AS, and this effect seems mediated through the inhibiting effect of TNFi on disease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tumor necrosis factor α inhibition in radiographic and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis: results from a large observational cohort.
Adrian Ciurea,Almut Scherer,Pascale Exer,Jürg Bernhard,Jean Dudler,Brigitte Beyeler,Rudolf O. Kissling,Daniel J. Stekhoven,Kaspar Rufibach,Giorgio Tamborrini,Bettina Weiss,Rüdiger Müller,Michael John Nissen,Beat A. Michel,Désirée van der Heijde,Maxime Dougados,Annelies Boonen,Ulrich Weber +17 more
TL;DR: The indications for treatment with anti-TNF agents were comparable for patients with radiographic axial SpA and those with nonradiographic axIAL SpA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity and specificity of spinal inflammatory lesions assessed by whole-body magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ankylosing spondylitis or recent-onset inflammatory back pain.
Ulrich Weber,Juerg Hodler,Rahel A. Kubik,Kaspar Rufibach,Robert G. W. Lambert,Rudolf O. Kissling,Christian W. A. Pfirrmann,Walter P. Maksymowych +7 more
TL;DR: D diagnostic utility of STIR MRI for AS is optimal when > or =2 CIL are present, and a single CIL can be found in up to 26% of healthy individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biphosphonates for the therapy of complex regional pain syndrome I – Systematic review
TL;DR: A systematic review of all randomised controlled trials found that biphosphonates counteract locally increased bone resorption and associated pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome I (CRPS I).
