21
Q

what is it called when pannus bridges opposing bones

A

fibrous anklyosis leads to boney ankylosis when it fuses

22
Q

blue cells with hoff bodies

A

plasma cells

23
Q

are plasma cells normal in synovium

A

no

24

what are RA subcutaneous nodules

A

parts of skin subject to pressure
firm nontender and round to oval
in subcutaneous tissue

25
Q

what do RA subcutaneous nodules look like microscopically

A

necrotizing granulomas with central zone fibrinoid necrosis with rim of macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells

26
Q

increased RF in RA patient

A

higher risk for vasculitis

27
Q

acute necrotizing vasculitis with RA involves what and can lead to what

A

small and large aa

neuropathies, ulcers and gangrene

28
Q

leukocytoclastic vasculitis can cause what

A

purpura, cutaneous ulcers, nail bed infarction

ocular changes like uveitis and keratoconjunctivitis

29
Q

palisade necrozing granuloma need to test for?

A

TB

can be rheumatoid nodule in lung

30
Q

Sx RA

A

slow malaise, fatigue, generalized MSK pain

31
Q

what mediates pain in RA

A

IL1 and TNF

32
Q

joint progression in RA

A

small joints first

symmetrically

33
Q

what part of skeleton is usually spared in RA

A

lumbosacral and hips

34
Q

Dx RA

A

characteristic radiographic finding
sterile turbid synovial fluid with poor mucin clot
combination of RF and anti CCP Ab

35
Q

ehy does the synovial fluid of RA joint have poor mucin clot

A

all the inflammatory products break it downw

36
Q

what are the inclusion breaing neutrophils in RA synovial fluid

A

tart cells

37
Q

anti CCP Ab is best used for what

A

RA screening!!

38
Q

What is Juvenile idiopathi arthritis

A

unknown cause arthritis before age 16 and persist for >6 weeks

39
Q

differences of RA and JIA

A
JIA:
oligoarthritis
unilateral
systemic disease more frequent
large joints affected more
RF and nodules usually absent
ANA sero +
40
Q

ANA + means what

A

autoimmune

41
Q

seronegative spondylarthropathies have what

A

assoc with HLA B27
no RF
involve SI joints

42
Q

anklyosing spondylitis

A

destruction of cartilage and bony anklyosis of SI and apophyseal joints

43
Q

what are apophyseal joints

A

between tuberosities and processes

44
Q

when does anklyosing spondylitis become Sx

A

20-30 years because of low back pain and spinal immobility
