ICM - Rheum 4 Flashcards
what anatomic site does gout (microcrystalline arthritis) affect?
joint space
cardiovascular exercise is important treatment/therapy in this disease
fibromyalgia
muscle strengthening is important treatment for these conditions
OA and LBP
treatment option for underlying immune defect in many autoimmune diseases
disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS)
this calcium pyrophosphate deposition diseases is associated with OA (either result or cause)
chondrocalcionsis
matrix degrading enzymes responsible for collagen network degradation (cannot be reversed)
aggrecanases and collagenases (metalloproteinases)
Wolff’s hypothesis (of bone remodeling)
distribution/material of bone determined by magnitude/direction of load
stain that has high affinity for proteoglycans (paler staining of cartilage)
safranan O
can last for 15-30 min in OA….stiffness when first using the joint after period of rest
gelling
how many joints affected in OA?
one or few
knee in this position if lateral compartment degrades
valgus
commonalities among classification criteria of OA
pain in joint, aging, no inflammation, osteophytes
DDX for OA
CPPD, RA, infectious monoarticular disease, psoriatic arthritis
topical options for hand OA
capsacin or NSAID
oral treatments for hand OA
NSAIDs, COX 2 selective NSAID, tramadol (weak SSRI)
recommended pharmacological treatments for Hip and Knee OA
acetaminophen, NSAID, intraarticular corticosteroid, tramadol
this is hallmark of systemic onset JRA
quotidian fever (spiking 1-2x per day)
diagnostic for systemic onset JRA
fever and rash
description of rash in JRA
macular, evanescent, migratory rash on trunk and proximal extremities
extra-articlar manifestations of JRA
pericarditis, myocarditis, chronic uveiitis, growth retardation
polyarthritis JRA clinical features
PIP, MCP wrist (hands like adult RA), cervical spine disease, micrognathia (temporal mandibular disease)
oligoarthritis JRA clinical features
primarily knees/ankles/feet, uveitis (young females with ANA)
systemic JRA clinical features
quotidian fever, evaescent rash with Koebner phenomenon, hepatosplenomegaly/lymphadenopathy/pericarditis
