  1. 1. Ultrasonography for Diagnosis, Intervention and Follow-up in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

    Nyckelord :ultrasonography; color Doppler; juvenile idiopathic arthritis; symptomatic ankles and wrists; synovitis; enthesitis; US-guided steroid injection; follow-up; MRI;

    Sammanfattning : Early therapeutic intervention and the use of novel, highly effective treatments in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) have improved the outcome in many diseased children, but have also increased the need for more precise methods for evaluating disease activity. In this context, both ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play an important role in adult rheumatology, although these methods have yet not been fully evaluated in JIA. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Psoriasis and Temporomandibular Joint Involvement in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) : A Longitudinal Study of the Nordic JIA Cohort

    Författare :Maria Ekelund; Lillemor Berntson; Boel Andersson Gäre; Anders Fasth; Anders Forslund; Andreas Thor; Josefin Lysell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; arthritis; juvenile idiopathic arthritis; juvenile psoriatic arthritis; temporomandibular arthritis; classification; Pediatrik; Pediatrics; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Juvenile idiopathic arthritis, JIA, is used as an umbrella term covering a heterogeneous group of chronic arthritis forms in children, many of which have important differences compared to adult arthritis, while others possibly represent similar diseases among children and adults. Classification aims to give a better understanding of the pathogenesis, patterns, disease trajectories and treatment responses. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Psoriatic arthritis: cardiovascular risk factors, health-related quality of life and effects of weight loss treatment

    Författare :Anton J. Landgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiovascular; epidemiology; obesity; psoriatic arthritis;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease, characterized by arthritis, dactylitis, enthesitis and sometimes axial disease. PsA is associated with several comorbidities and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL), although less is known in relation to other common chronic rheumatic diseases. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Neuronal mechanisms in tendon healing : effects of mobilization and immobilization

    Författare :Daniel K-I Bring; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The incidence of tendon injuries is increasing. Tendon healing and modelling are frequently protracted, often leading to pain and impaired function so called overuse syndromes. Presumably, the sensory nervous system may contribute both to promotion of repair as well as to inhibition of healing and tissue modeling. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Psoriasis : observational studies on clinical course, economic burden and treatment

    Författare :Axel Svedbom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Better understanding of long-term prognosis, clinical course, comorbidities, economic burden, and treatment of psoriasis, can improve care of patients with the disease and may inform decisions on resource allocation, benefitting not only patients but also the society in general. The Stockholm Psoriasis Cohort (SPC), Study 1, was initiated to describe the clinical course or psoriasis. LÄS MER
