Background: The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily cytokine TNF-like protein 1A (TL1A) and its receptor DR3 are essential for diverse animal models of autoimmune disease and may be pathogenic in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the relationship of TL1A to disease duration, activity, and response to anti-TNF and other therapies in RA is not clear.
Methods: We measured soluble TL1A in synovial fluid (SF), serum, or plasma from RA first-degree relatives (FDRs) and in early RA and established disease.
Background: Leukemic synovitis is a rare complication of adult myeloid leukemias characterized by joint pain and swelling. It is important to recognize this diagnostic challenge as it may be the initial manifestation of leukemia or of relapse.
Methods: A retrospective search of patient files from 2 teaching hospitals identified 4 adult patients who presented with large joint arthritis and concurrent or subsequent leukemic synovitis.
