Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by periarticular bone loss and new bone formation. Current data regarding systemic bone loss and bone mineral density (BMD) in PsA are conflicting. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone microstructure and volumetric BMD (vBMD) in patients with PsA and psoriasis. We performed HR-pQCT scans at the ultradistal and periarticular radius in 50 PsA patients, 30 psoriasis patients, and 70 healthy, age- and sex-related controls assessing ...

In the present study, we investigated bone geometry, microstructure, and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) in a cohort of patients with nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) in order to define the early bone changes occurring in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and to define potential factors for deterioration of bone microstructure.Patients with axSpA (n = 107) and healthy control subjects (n = 50) of similar age and sex were assessed for geometric, volumetric, and microstructural parameters ...

Background and Aims: To investigate the macro- and microstructural changes of bone in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] and to define the factors associated with bone loss in IBD. Methods: A total of 148 subjects, 59 with Crohn's disease [CD], 39 with ulcerative colitis [UC], and 50 healthy controls were assessed for the geometric, volumetric and microstructural properties of bone using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. In addition, demographic and disease-specific ...

miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that control gene expression. Specific intra- and extracellular miRNA signatures have been identified in various diseases. Whether certain miRNA signatures are associated with psoriasis (PsO) and PsA is currently unknown. We aimed to search for circulating miRNA signatures associated with PsO and PsA patients.Expression of miRNAs was analysed by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) in the serum of PsA, PsO patients and healthy controls. Demographic ...

We investigate the accuracy of different calibration methods for the CyberGlove III for objective hand function assessments. The accuracy is evaluated by means of root-mean-squared errors (RMSE) between ground truth and angles estimated by the glove. Additionally, we propose two improvements. The first increases standardization capabilities for the measurement of pure thumb carpometacarpal joint flexion. The second increases the accuracy by extending an existing calibration method to all thumb and ...

Background: Measuring disease activity in patients with inflammatory arthritis remains challenging and is mainly based on physician-dependent assessments, subjective measures and just one blood biomarker of inflammation with no indication of the subclinical or functional state of the patients [1, 2]. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) present with impaired hand function compared to healthy controls [3, 4]. While hand function is well studied in RA patients [5], data is sparse ...

Background Physical function is an important factor determining disease burden in arthritis. Monitoring function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients is essential for effective treatment [1]. The currently used tools to assess physical function (e.g. patient reported outcomes) have limitations with respect to sensitivity and specificity to measure functional impairment in RA [2,3]. A marker-based optoelectronic measurement of hand function enables detailed analysis of hand movements such as spatial- ...

Background Systemic bone loss is a well-known and severe consequence in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). To date deterioration of bone microstructure has only been described in patients with long-standing ankylosing spondylitis while bone microstructure has not been assessed in axSpA. Objectives The aim of the present study was to investigate bone microstructure, geometry and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) using high resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) in a cohort of axSpA patients at an ...

Background Musculoskeletal symptoms are considered as one of the most frequent extra-intestinal manifestation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients with a prevalence of up to 40% involving axial and/or peripheral joints. Data on the prevalence of musculoskeletal disease, in particular of SpA are limited and vary considerably due to different criteria the studies have used to define musculoskeletal disease in IBD patients. Objectives To define the prevalence of axial and peripheral spondyloarthritis ( ...
