Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the etiologies and contributing factors of synovial and tenosynovial involvement in SSc, as well as to assess the phenotype of patients with these synovial and tenosynovial features.
Methods: 171 SSc patients with hand manifestations (either vascular, skin or joint manifestations) who underwent standard X-rays of both hands and hand ultrasound (US), were included. Two independent evaluators recorded the presence or absence of acro-osteolysis, calcinosis, microcrystalline and degenerative rheumatisms, including osteophytosis on X-Rays.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the characteristics of Systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients experiencing sicca symptoms, by analyzing major salivary glands through ultrasound, minor salivary gland biopsies, and clinical evaluations, while comparing these to patients with Sjögren's Disease (SjD) and other causes of sicca symptoms.
- A total of 60 SSc patients with sicca symptoms and additional groups including SSc patients without symptoms and SjD patients were examined, revealing that many SSc patients showed objective abnormalities in salivary gland function, even if they didn't report symptoms.
- The findings indicated that SjD-SSc patients had more severe salivary gland involvement compared to those with isolated conditions, highlighting the need for future
Article Synopsis
- Septic bursitis (SB) is a prevalent inflammatory condition, particularly linked to certain professions, and currently lacks standardized management guidelines.
- A collaborative group of healthcare specialists developed specific recommendations for treating olecranon and prepatellar SB, using a combination of literature review and expert insights.
- The newly established guidelines, aimed at various healthcare providers, emphasize the role of biological tests, imaging, antibiotic treatments, and address surgical options and prevention strategies.
Objectives: This study aimed to describe radiographic and functional evolution over 6 months in a large cohort of VO patients.
Methods: We prospectively recruited patients with VO from 2016 to 2019 in 11 French centers. X-rays were performed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months to assess progression using structural and static criteria.
These guidelines are an update of those made in 2007 at the request of the French Society of Infectious Diseases (SPILF, Société de Pathologie Infectieuse de Langue Française). They are intended for use by all healthcare professionals caring for patients with disco-vertebral infection (DVI) on spine, whether native or instrumented. They include evidence and opinion-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of patients with DVI.
