Economic Theory and Self-Reported Measures of Presenteeism in Musculoskeletal DiseaseCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 18 - Trang 1-15 - 2016
Cheryl Jones, Katherine Payne, Brenda Gannon, Suzanne Verstappen
This study had two objectives: to describe the historical development of self-reported presenteeism instruments that can be used to identify and measure presenteeism as a result of musculoskeletal disease (MSD) and to identify if, and how many of these, presenteeism instruments are underpinned by economic theory. Systematic search methods were applied to identify self-report instruments used to qu...... hiện toàn bộ
Perioperative Infection in the Patient with Rheumatic DiseaseCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 15 - Trang 1-6 - 2013
Andy O. Miller, Barry D. Brause
The risk of infection accompanies the benefits of surgery. Immunomodulatory chronic illnesses may increase the risk of surgical infections. Surgical patients with rheumatologic illness need close preoperative assessment regarding their infection risks (fixed and modifiable), which vary on the basis of the proposed procedure, specific rheumatologic illness, and underlying comorbidities. Modificatio...... hiện toàn bộ
Rheumatoid Vasculitis: A Diminishing Yet Devastating MenaceCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 19 - Trang 1-7 - 2017
Shweta Kishore, Lisa Maher, Vikas Majithia
Rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) is an unusual complication of long-standing rheumatoid arthritis, which is characterized by the development of necrotizing or leukocytoclastic vasculitis involving small or medium-sized vessels. In this review, we aim to provide an update on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and management of this challenging extra-articular manifestation. RV is hete...... hiện toàn bộ
The role of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and exercise in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitisCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 255-259 - 2006
Mazen Elyan, Muhammad Asim Khan
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic systemic rheumatic disease that primarily affects the sacroiliac joints and spine. Even with the development of tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors, which have revolutionized the treatment of this disease, the combination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and a life-long exercise program still form the first step in its mana...... hiện toàn bộ

New Developments in the Genetics of Inclusion Body MyositisCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 20 - Trang 1-8 - 2018
Kyla A. Britson, Stephanie Y. Yang, Thomas E. Lloyd
Our goal is to review the recent literature pertaining to the genetics of sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM). In a study of 252 IBM patients, the class II MHC allele HLA-DRB1*03:01 showed the most significant association with IBM, and that risk could be largely attributed to amino acids within the peptide-binding pocket. Candidate gene sequencing identified rare missense variants in proteins r...... hiện toàn bộ
Current Concepts and Future Directions of Minimally Invasive Treatment for Knee PainCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 20 - Trang 1-10 - 2018
Daryl T. Goldman, Rachel Piechowiak, Daniel Nissman, Sandeep Bagla, Ari Isaacson
The purpose of this paper is to review the percutaneous interventions available for the treatment of osteoarthrosis of the knee that address pain and prolong the time to arthroplasty. Corticosteroid injection and viscosupplementation have been the most studied, but there is still no consensus about their value. Thermal nerve ablation, including both radiofrequency ablation and cryoneurolysis, is a...... hiện toàn bộ
