Prolonged, uncontrolled, anterior uveitis is a risk factor for spill-over inflammation to the posterior segment of the eye and subsequent cystoid macular edema. Persistent macular edema is the ...
Moreover, the abundance/prevalence of seven OTUs at baseline may be used as a novel non-invasive index that predicts the response to TNFi with greater accuracy than HLA-B27 status, CRP level and ...
These include sacroiliitis on imaging, especially in the presence of human leucocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27). Rheumatologists face challenges when diagnosing axSpA, said Elaine Husni, MD ...
Objective To estimate sacroiliac joint radiographic (X-SIJ) progression in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and to evaluate the effects of inflammation on MRI (MRI-SIJ) on X-SIJ ...
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ileal bacteria in modulating local and systemic immune responses in AS. Methods Ileal biopsies were obtained from 50 HLA-B27 + patients with AS and ...
Patients with late-onset axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are less likely to be positive for human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) and have a family history of SpA; they are more likely to present ...
