Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TNFalpha antagonist therapy in patients with juvenile spondyloarthropathies refractory to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Methods: Retrospective review of the medical charts of 20 patients (16 males and 4 females) with a mean age of 11.6 years at diagnosis.
Objective: To measure bone mineral density (BMD) in a group of patients meeting Gand criteria for Marfan syndrome, comparatively with a group of healthy controls.
Methods: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) was used to measure BMD at the hip and wrist in 130 patients seen at the Multidisciplinary Marfan Clinic, Paris, France. Results were compared to values in the database of the absorptiometry machine (Hologic QDR100) and to values in 72 healthy height-matched controls including 35 whose body mass index (BMI) values were similar to those in the patients.
