Summary
Risk-based screening for temporomandibular joint issues in juvenile idiopathic arthritis can detect high-risk children early. This approach aims for earlier recognition and better outcomes by integrating clinical assessment, MRI, and multidisciplinary care.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Pediatrics
- Dentistry
Background:
- Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can affect the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), potentially leading to significant dentofacial and functional impairments.
- Early detection of TMJ involvement in JIA is crucial for timely intervention and preventing long-term complications.
- Current diagnostic approaches may rely on overt symptoms, potentially delaying crucial management.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) management can be divided into two main strategies: prevention and long-term management.Primary PreventionPrimary prevention focuses on timely diagnosis and management of group A streptococcal pharyngitis to prevent acute rheumatic fever. The most widely used antibiotic for treating this condition is intramuscular benzathine penicillin G.Acute Rheumatic Fever TreatmentThe primary treatment goal for a patient diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever is to suppress the...

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...
