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
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
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
Epigenetic Variability in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: What We Learned from Genome-Wide DNA Methylation StudiesCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 19 - Trang 1-10 - 2017
Maria Teruel, Amr H. Sawalha
DNA methylation has emerged as an important contributing factor in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we describe the DNA methylation patterns identified in SLE and how these epigenetic changes can influence disease susceptibility, clinical heterogeneity, and disease flares. Several genome-wide DNA methylation studies have been recently completed in SLE. Important observ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Microbiome and Bone and Joint DiseaseCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 19 - Trang 1-6 - 2017
Christopher J. Hernandez
Changes in the constituents and activity of the microbiome have been associated with a number of conditions linked to bone and joint disease. This review concentrates on ways in which the microbiome is known to influence osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Animal studies have demonstrated that changes in the microbiome can mediate the effects of obesity on cartilage degeneration. Additionally, the mi...... hiện toàn bộ
The Role of Sirtuins in Cartilage Homeostasis and OsteoarthritisCurrent Rheumatology Reports - Tập 18 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Mona Dvir-Ginzberg, Ali Mobasheri, Ashok Kumar
The past decade has witnessed many advances in the understanding of sirtuin biology and related regulatory circuits supporting the capacity of these proteins to serve as energy-sensing molecules that contribute to healthspan in various tissues, including articular cartilage. Hence, there has been a significant increase in new investigations that aim to elucidate the mechanisms of sirtuin function ...... hiện toàn bộ
