Abstract

Objectives: To assess the diagnostic performance of ultrasound (US), x-rays, and microscopic analysis of synovial fluid (SF) for calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) using histology as a reference standard., Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients with osteoarthritis waiting to undergo knee replacement surgery. Each patient underwent US of the knee, focusing on menisci and the hyaline cartilage, the day before surgery. During surgery, SF, menisci and condyles were retrieved and examined microscopically. For the meniscus and cartilage microscopic analysis, 8 samples were collected from each specimen and knee radiographs, performed up to 3 months before surgery, were also assessed. A dichotomous score was given for the presence/absence of CPP for each method. Microscopic findings of the specimens were considered the reference standard. All the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the local responsible committee., Results: 42 patients (14 males) were enrolled. All patients underwent US, 34 had eligible radiographs and 32 had SF analysis. 25 patients (59.5%) were positive for CPP at US, 15 (44.1%) at X-ray and 14 (43.7%) at SF. Sensitivity and specificity values were 96% and 87% for US, 75% and 93% for radiography and 77% and 100% for SF respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the diagnostic performance across single tests., Conclusions: US proved to be at least as accurate as SF analysis for the diagnosis of CPPD. US, which is feasible and harmless, could be considered the first exam of choice for CPPD diagnosis.

12. Disease Activity and Bone Mineral Density of MCP Joints in Patients with Rheumatoid and Psoriatic Arthritis: Is There a Correlation?-A Study in Patients Treated with Methotrexate and an Anti-TNF α Agent.

Abstract

Background. Bone damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) includes an accelerated bone mineral density (BMD) reduction. The objective was to evaluate BMD variations of the metacarpophalangeal joints (MCPs) in patients starting treatment with methotrexate (MTX) or etanercept. Methods. Patients affected by RA or PsA with hand joints involvement and with moderate or high disease activity, were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent clinical examination, laboratory exams, and a DXA scan of the most affected hand, as assessed with an ultrasound examination at the baseline, at the time of enrolment and after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Patients non-responders to MTX received combination therapy, while patients with no previous treatment initiated MTX. Results. 22 patients were enrolled. In both RA and PsA groups, BMD increased independently of the treatment. However, in the patients affected by RA, a slight BMD decrease was observed at the last checkup. Globally, the BMD variations of the MCPs were strongly correlated with the disease activity. At the reduction of DAS28, the scores corresponded an increase of BMD. Conclusions. MCPs BMD is inversely correlated to disease activity. BMD increase seems to be correlated with the response to treatment and not with the drug itself.

Abstract

Objectives: To assess efficacy and safety of the association oxycodone/acetaminophen (oxycodone/acetaminophen) for pain treatment and disability improvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)., Methods: Patients with RA (n = 29), suffering from moderate to severe pain for more than 3 months, were included in the study, except those under RA therapy with biological drugs. The treatment started with oxycodone/acetaminophen at the dosage of 5 mg/325 mg, and then the dosage was titrated until the attainment of good pain relief. Antiemetic and laxative therapy was used for the prophylaxis of known opioid-related adverse events., Results: Patients continued their RA therapy without changing the dosages, reported reduced pain intensity and disease activity, and improvement of disability. Forty-two percent of patients had a good clinical response to oxycodone/acetaminophen treatment, according to European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) assessment criteria, and 50 percent of patients reached the American College of Rheumatology 20 percent improvement criteria (ACR20). At the end of the study, the mean (+/- SD) daily effective oxycodone/acetaminophen dose was 13.8 (+/- 6.8) mg/720.4 (+/- 291.0) mg. No serious adverse event was observed. Nausea, vomiting, and stipsis of mild-moderate intensity were the most common adverse events., Conclusion: Oxycodone/acetaminophen at low dosages for the treatment of chronic pain in RA patients can be a good alternative to non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), allowing the reduction of their consumption, while keeping RA therapy stable.
