Intrareader and interreader agreement was variable for individual radiograph features but substantial for summary KL grade and OARSI Summary Score. Investigators face tradeoffs between cost and reader experience. These data suggest that in settings where costs are constrained, trained nonclinicians may be suitable readers of radiographic knee OA, p...

Variations in hip shape were associated with prevalent, but not incident or progressive, knee rOA in this cohort, and may reflect biomechanical differences between limbs, genetic influences, or common factors related to both hip shape and knee rOA.

Two male Golden retrievers, each one about ten years old, were presented with a visible mass in the nose, showing symptoms of sneezing and epistaxis. The histopathological examination of biopsies indicated that both dogs were affected by a squamous cell carcinoma. Further staging did not reveal any indications for metastases. Surgical removal of th...

Early diagnosis of spondyloarthritis (SpA) is becoming more important as new medical treatment options have become available to treat inflammation and delay progression of the disease. Increasingly, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sacroiliac joints is obtained for early detection of inflammatory changes, as it shows active inflammatory and ...

Radiographic progression in early PsA was generally slow but substantial. Male sex appears to be a risk factor for early radiographic damage while the presence of baseline radiographic damage and dactylitis developing during followup seem to predict further destruction. Hand and foot radiograph scoring cannot be substituted with clinical signs.

OBJECTIVE: Genetic variants affect both the development and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent studies have expanded the number of RA susceptibility variants. We tested the hypothesis that these associated with disease severity in a clinical trial cohort of patients with early, active RA. METHODS: We evaluated 524 patients with RA enroll...

Background: The first aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between clinical and physical-technical image quality applied to different strengths of iterative reconstruction in chest CT images using Thiel cadaver acquisitions and Catphan images. The second aim was to determine the potential dose reduction of iterative reconstruction comp...
