1. 1. Hands-on osteoporosis screening with digital x-ray radiogrammetry

   Författare :Michael Wilczek; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : According to epidemiological studies about one third of women and one fifth of men over 50 years will experience a fragility fracture. These fractures account for substantial mortality, morbidity and health care cost. Osteoporosis is a silent disease and thus often goes undiagnosed for a long time. LÄS MER

3. 2. Automatic image analysis for decision support in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis

   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Osteoporosis; rheumatoid arthritis; digital X-ray radiogrammetry; joint space width; bone densitometry;

   Sammanfattning : Low-energy trauma and fragility fractures represent a major public health problem. The societal cost of the fragility fractures that occurred in Sweden 2010 has been estimated at €4 billion.In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), patient outcomes have improved greatly in recent years.

4. 3. The role of X-ray imaging and musculoskeletal ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of rheumatoid arthritis

   Författare :Hamed Rezaei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by symmetric joint inflammation that often involves the small joints of the hands and feet, with progressive destruction, deformity, and disability of the joints. Small joints of the hands and feet are frequently the first to be involved in RA, which is why methods for assessment of these joints are of particular importance at the onset of RA and early stage of the disease.

5. 4. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Body Composition, Bone Loss, and Mortality

   Författare :Christina Book; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fat mass; bone mass; lean mass; body composition; mortality; rheumatoid arthritis; predictors;

   Sammanfattning : Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (disease duration ≤1 year, n=165) were recruited 1995-2001 and followed systematically clinically and with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) over 2 years and compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Baseline arm and leg lean mass were decreased in RA patients in both genders and body mass index and truncal fat distribution were increased in female RA patients. LÄS MER

7. 5. Diagnostic and prognostic potential of joint imaging in patients with anti-citrullinated protein antibodies

   Sammanfattning : The introduction of novel therapeutic strategies set new goals for the patients’ outcome, which aims to achieve remission. This goal requires early diagnosis of RA and prompt efficient pharmacotherapy. The introduction of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) two decades ago allowed an earlier RA diagnosis. LÄS MER
