Imaging of Axial Psoriatic Arthritis

Walter P. Maksymowych, MB ChB, FACP, FRCP(C)  |  May 9, 2022

The axial phenotype of psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) is an excellent example of a major controversy in rheumatology that has become the focus of attention because of the emergence of new therapies with different mechanisms of action for alleviating joint inflammation. It was first described in 1961 but, until recently, it has largely remained under the…

Teresa Sosenko, MD, Anca Musetescu, MD, PhD, Neha Gandhi, MD, Scott Friedstrom, MD, & Diana Girnita, MD, PhD  |  January 19, 2018

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune-mediated rheumatic disease characterized by multisystem involvement that can cause significant morbidity and mortality.

Few reported cases involve SLE and…

How to Diagnose Shoulder Pain

Thomas R. Collins  |  January 18, 2017

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A 70-year-old woman had been diagnosed with rotator cuff disease three years earlier and received an array of treatments. What she hadn’t received was an X-ray. She’d had an MRI, and her doctor—not an orthopedist or a rheumatologist, but a primary care physician—had zeroed in on degenerative changes in her rotator cuff. The problem,…

Nuclear Medicine Exposures Up Health Risks for Radiology Techs

Laura Newman  |  August 17, 2015

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Technologists working in nuclear medicine have a heightened risk for some cancers and myocardial infarction, according to a nationwide U.S. survey led by National Cancer Institute (NCI) researchers. “Our results were mainly driven by exposures occurring before 1980, which is consistent with evidence that most cancers and other serious radiation-related chronic disease…
