Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how often tenosynovitis and tendon damage occur in patients with hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and how they affect pain and hand function using both clinical exams and ultrasound (US).
- A total of 86 HOA patients and 23 matched control subjects were evaluated, revealing that 69.8% of HOA patients had tendon involvement compared to only 8.7% of controls, with different rates of damage in flexor and extensor tendons.
- Despite finding significant tendon involvement through US, the results showed no correlation between tendon issues and hand function or reported pain levels in HOA patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of tenderness in the absence of swelling with consideration of other potential risk factors for subsequent radiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Methods: Clinical and sonographic (grey scale and power Doppler (PD)) examination of 22 joints of the hand were performed in patients with RA and PsA. The impact of tenderness on progression after 2 years was analysed in non-swollen joints for RA and PsA separately with multilevel mixed logistic regression analysis.
Objective: To explore indicators that predict whether patients with extremity pain have a spinal or extremity source of pain.
Methods: The data were from a prospective cohort study (n = 369). Potential indicators were gathered from a typical Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) history and examination.
Objectives: To determine whether clinical tenderness can be considered a sign of inflammatory joint activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to assess other possible factors associated with tenderness.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with RA, PsA and OA underwent clinical and ultrasound examination of wrists and finger joints. Radiographs of the hands were scored for erosions, joint space narrowing (JSN), osteophytes and malalignment.
Sleep spindles are crucial to memory consolidation. Cortical gamma oscillations (30-100 Hz) are considered to reflect processing of memory in local cortical networks. The temporal and regulatory relationship between spindles and gamma activity might therefore provide clues into how sleep strengthens cortical memory representations.
