The sacroiliac joints are involved in most cases of axial spondyloarthropathy, the first
manifestation usually being sacroiliitis. A finding of sacroiliitis at radiography is the classic …

Objective Neovascularization, with an increased number of synovial vessels with a
characteristic morphology, seems to contribute to the progression of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). …

Aim: The present study was undertaken to replicate the association of candidate genes for
anti-TNF response in rheumatoid arthritis. Candidate genes were selected from a recent …

Objective The LCE3C_LCE3B‐del variant is associated with psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Its role in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is unclear, however, as shown by 3 recent studies with …

Objective Anti-TNF therapies have been highly efficacious in the management of rheumatoid
arthritis (RA), but 25–30% of patients do not show a significant clinical response. There is …

Objective. To evaluate the association of synovitis, bone marrow edema (BME), and tenosynovitis
in the progression of erosions quantified by hand magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Objective To develop evidence-based recommendations on the use of ultrasound (US) and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods …

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the efficacy of etanercept to reduce synovitis as measured by
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as early as 6 weeks after starting treatment in patients …

Objective To assess the efficacy of etanercept in reducing tenosynovitis evaluated by MRI of
the hand (h-MRI) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) refractory to disease-…

Objective. RA patients with serum ACPA have a strong and specific genetic background. The
objective of the study was to identify new susceptibility genes for ACPA-positive RA using a …
