Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore the role of facet joints in the development of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) by analyzing changes in MRI and radiography over three years in newly diagnosed patients.
- - Twenty-four patients were monitored, showing significant progression in and around the sacroiliac joints, including increased bone marrow edema and lesions in the lumbar spine, with notable structural changes.
- - Findings suggest that inflammation in facet joints early in the disease is linked to later bone changes, hinting at a risk of ossification within the vertebrae, while treatment with biologicals did not affect MRI progression.
This is the first description of the development of rheumatoid nodules in 3 rheumatoid arthritis patients following leflunomide therapy. The nodules were localized at typical sites with preference of the extensor side of hands and elbow. One nodule examined histologically revealed the typical architecture of RA nodules.
