TLDR
The study showed the clinical history screening test for AS to be moderately sensitive, but it might be better in clinical practice, and substitution of the Rome pain criterion for the New York pain criterion is proposed.Abstract:
The New York and the Rome diagnostic criteria for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the clinical history screening test for AS were evaluated in relatives of AS patients and in population control subjects. The New York criterion of pain in the (dorso) lumbar spine lacks specificity, and the chest expansion criterion is too insensitive. The Rome criterion of low back pain for more than 3 months is very useful. Our study showed the clinical history screening test for AS to be moderately sensitive, but it might be better in clinical practice. As a modification of the New York criteria, substitution of the Rome pain criterion for the New York pain criterion is proposed.read more

TL;DR: It was shown that in patients with JIA, serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, serum C-telopeptide of type I collagen, and weight-bearing activities were independent predictors of changes in total body BMC.

Effects of local heat and cold treatment on surface and articular temperature of arthritic knees
TL;DR: The traditional model, that intraarticular temperature is decreased by superficial heat and increased by superficial cold in arthritis patients, must be discarded.

TL;DR: Panoramic radiographs provide an alternative method to MRI but, to obtain a more detailed anatomic picture, MRI is recommended for patients with acute unexplained pain or as part of preoperative work up.

TL;DR: To assess the safety of anti–tumor necrosis factor α (anti-TNFα) therapy on the course of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in carriers of antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (anti‐HBc) affected by chronic inflammatory arthropathies, a large number of patients were enrolled.

TL;DR: The radiographic progression rate remained stable at years 2 and 4, suggesting no acceleration of new bone formation over time in patients with ankylosing spondylitis receiving two different doses of the tumour necrosis factor antagonist golimumab.

TL;DR: The human hand is a fascinating subject, an actor of many roles and disguises: the man in miniature, revealing its owner's story, here is a book which sets out to teach us how best to examine it and is disappointing because it is only 50 per cent of the classic it might have been

TL;DR: The discriminatory value of the New York criterion of history of pain or the presence of pain at the dorsolumbar junction or in the lumbar spine was analyzed in the population and family studies and was found to be too nonspecific.
