概括
临床怀疑关节痛 (CSA) 患者报告的关节胀与亚临床炎症有关,并预测类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 的发展. 然而,MRI的发现比患者报告的单独胀更有预测性.
科学领域:
- 类风湿病学 类风湿病学
- 医疗成像医学成像
- 临床预测 临床预测
背景情况:
- 临床怀疑关节痛 (CSA) 患者患有类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 的风险很高.
- 患者报告的关节胀在CSA中很常见,但通常没有通过体检得到证实.
- 在CSA中自我报告的胀的诊断和预后价值需要进一步调查.
研究的目的:
- 评估患者报告的关节胀和通过成像检测到的CSA患者的亚临床炎症之间的关联.
- 为了确定患者报告的胀是否预测炎症性关节炎的发展,包括RA.
- 将患者报告的胀的预测值与成像发现和其他临床预测因素进行比较.
主要方法:
- 分析了来自荷兰的两个独立的CSA队列.
- 患者在基线报告手关节胀.
- 亚临床关节炎症使用MRI或超声波 (US) 进行评估.
- 收集了关于炎症性关节炎发展的随访数据.
主要成果:
- 患者报告的胀在各队伍中的CSA患者中有43-57%存在.
- 自我报告的胀与MRI (紧突炎) 和US (突炎) 上的亚临床炎症相关.
- 报告有胀的CSA患者患关节炎的发病率较高,独立于其他因素,但低于MRI发现.
结论:
- 患者报告的CSA关节胀与亚临床炎症有关.
- 自我报告的胀是CSA患者RA发展的独立风险因素.
- 通过MRI检测到的亚临床炎症比患者报告的胀更强烈地预测RA的发展.

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System III: Palpation
348
Palpation involves feeling the body to evaluate texture, size, consistency, and tenderness for assessing cardiovascular health. The following steps are organized in a head-to-toe order:
Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
37
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...

Rheumatic Heart Disease IV: Nursing Management
14
AssessmentA comprehensive assessment is essential in managing a patient with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Begin with obtaining a detailed medical history, including recent streptococcal infections, a history of rheumatic fever, or previously diagnosed rheumatic heart disease. Assess the patient for symptoms such as fever, chest pain, widespread joint pain (arthralgia), tachycardia, pericardial friction rub, muffled heart sounds, heart murmurs, peripheral edema, subcutaneous nodules, and...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction
14
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
14
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Aortic Regurgitation III: Medical Management
24
Aortic regurgitation (AR) is when the aortic valve does not close or seal properly, leading to backward blood circulation from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. Common causes of AR include rheumatic heart disease, congenital valve defects, and aortic root dilation. Managing AR requires a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, preserve left ventricular function, and address the underlying cause of the regurgitation. Patients with symptomatic AR or significant left...
