Abstract
BACKGROUND Globally, the rapid increase of obesity is reaching alarming proportions. A new approach to reduce obesity and its comorbidities involves tackling the built environment. Environmental influences seem to play an important role, but the environmental influences in early life on adult body composition have not been thoroughly investigated. This study seeks to fill the research gap by examining early-life exposure to residential green spaces and traffic exposure in association with body composition among a population of young adult twins. METHODS As part of the East Flanders Prospective Twin Survey (EFPTS) cohort, this study included 332 twins. Residential addresses of the mothers at time of birth of the twins were geocoded to determine residential green spaces and traffic exposure. To capture body composition, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference, skinfold thickness, leptin levels, and fat percentage were measured at adult age. Linear mixed modelling analyses were conducted to investigate early-life environmental exposures in association with body composition, while accounting for potential confounders. In addition, moderator effects of zygosity/chorionicity, sex and socio-economic status were tested. RESULTS Each interquartile range (IQR) increase in distance to highway was found associated with an increase of 1.2% in WHR (95%CI 0.2-2.2%). For landcover of green spaces, each IQR increase was associated with 0.8% increase in WHR (95%CI 0.4-1.3%), 1.4% increase in waist circumference (95%CI 0.5-2.2%), and 2.3% increase in body fat (95%CI 0.2-4.4%). Stratified analyses by zygosity/chorionicity type indicated that in monozygotic monochorionic twins, each IQR increase in land cover of green spaces was associated with 1.3% increase in WHR (95%CI 0.5-2.1%). In monozygotic dichorionic twins, each IQR increase in land cover of green spaces was associated with 1.4% increase in waist-circumference (95%CI 0.6-2.2%). CONCLUSIONS The built environment in which mothers reside during pregnancy might play a role on body composition among young adult twins. Our study revealed that based on zygosity/chorionicity type differential effects of prenatal exposure to green spaces on body composition at adult age might exist.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in Spain.Method: This is a cross-sectional, population-based study of people aged 20 years or older in Spain. Randomly selected individuals were contacted by telephone and rheumatic disease screening was performed. If the first screening was positive, medical records were then reviewed and/or a telephone questionnaire was conducted by a rheumatologist, followed by an appointment if necessary. Cases had to fulfil the modified New York (mNY) criteria.Results: In total, 4916 individuals were included, of whom 355 had a positive screening result for AS. Of these, 11 were classified as AS. An additional individual who reported a prior diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis had a diagnosis of AS confirmed on review of the medical records. Estimated prevalence was 0.26% (95% CI 0.14-0.49).Conclusion: EPISER2016 is the first population-based study to estimate the prevalence of AS in Spain, which has been estimated as being similar to that in other European countries.

Abstract
<p>La eficacia y tolerancia de levofloxacina (Floxaday®, Holliday-Scott) para el tratamiento de infecciones dérmicas y de vías urinarias, fue evaluada en caninos. Se incluyeron 26 casos clínicos que fueron tratados con 10 mg/kg vía oral cada 24 horas durante 14 y hasta 21 días. De los 14 casos de afecciones a nivel dérmico, 4 fueron severos y los restantes de severidad intermedia. De los 12 casos de infecciones a nivel urinario, 8 fueron procesos severos, 3 intermedios y uno bajo. La eficacia de los tratamientos fue evaluada aplicando una escala ad-hoc. El tratamiento fue exitoso en el 99% de los casos, observándose curación clínica al día 4 en el 6,25% y al día 7 en el 43,75%. En el día 14 la curación clínica fue registrada en el 99% de los pacientes; solamente uno de ellos requirió un tratamiento de 21 días para alcanzarla. En la población con infecciones urinarias todos los pacientes respondieron satisfactoriamente al tratamiento (curación clínica), el 42% lo hizo hacia el día 4 y el 83% al día 7. Al día 14, la curación clínica fue constatada en el 100% de los casos. No se observaron efectos secundarios en ninguno de los pacientes incluidos en el estudio. En caninos, levofloxacina administrada por vía oral a la dosis de 10 mg/kg una vez al día, demostró una excelente eficacia y nula aparición de efectos adversos.</p><p> </p>

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We tested the ability of a type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic risk score (GRS) to predict progression of islet autoimmunity and T1D in at-risk individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied the 1,244 TrialNet Pathway to Prevention study participants (T1D patients' relatives without diabetes and with one or more positive autoantibodies) who were genotyped with Illumina ImmunoChip (median [range] age at initial autoantibody determination 11.1 years [1.2-51.8], 48% male, 80.5% non-Hispanic white, median follow-up 5.4 years). Of 291 participants with a single positive autoantibody at screening, 157 converted to multiple autoantibody positivity and 55 developed diabetes. Of 953 participants with multiple positive autoantibodies at screening, 419 developed diabetes. We calculated the T1D GRS from 30 T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms. We used multivariable Cox regression models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) measures to evaluate prognostic utility of T1D GRS, age, sex, Diabetes Prevention Trial-Type 1 (DPT-1) Risk Score, positive autoantibody number or type, HLA DR3/DR4-DQ8 status, and race/ethnicity. We used recursive partitioning analyses to identify cut points in continuous variables. RESULTS Higher T1D GRS significantly increased the rate of progression to T1D adjusting for DPT-1 Risk Score, age, number of positive autoantibodies, sex, and ethnicity (hazard ratio [HR] 1.29 for a 0.05 increase, 95% CI 1.06-1.6; P = 0.011). Progression to T1D was best predicted by a combined model with GRS, number of positive autoantibodies, DPT-1 Risk Score, and age (7-year time-integrated AUC = 0.79, 5-year AUC = 0.73). Higher GRS was significantly associated with increased progression rate from single to multiple positive autoantibodies after adjusting for age, autoantibody type, ethnicity, and sex (HR 2.27 for GRS >0.295, 95% CI 1.47-3.51; P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS The T1D GRS independently predicts progression to T1D and improves prediction along T1D stages in autoantibody-positive relatives.

Abstract
Microbial exposures in homes of asthmatic adults have been rarely investigated; specificities and implications for respiratory health are not well understood. The objectives of this study were to investigate associations of microbial levels with asthma status, asthma symptoms, bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), and atopy. Mattress dust samples of 199 asthmatics and 198 control subjects from 7 European countries participating in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey II study were analyzed for fungal and bacterial cell wall components and individual taxa. We observed trends for protective associations of higher levels of mostly bacterial markers. Increased levels of muramic acid, a cell wall component predominant in Gram-positive bacteria, tended to be inversely associated with asthma (OR's for different quartiles: II 0.71 [0.39-1.30], III 0.44 [0.23-0.82], and IV 0.60 [0.31-1.18] P for trend .07) and with asthma score (P for trend .06) and with atopy (P for trend .02). These associations were more pronounced in northern Europe. This study among adults across Europe supports a potential protective effect of Gram-positive bacteria in mattress dust and points out that this may be more pronounced in areas where microbial exposure levels are generally lower.

Abstract
The first newborn screening programs to detect congenital errors of the metabolism and other endocrinal diseases started in the late 1950s and, one decade later, were introduced in Spain. Since then they have evolved considerably, but in a very heteroge-neous way, at both the international level and the regional level. The continuous scientific and technological advances, basically since the year 2000, have accentuated these inequalities, making this question into an inexhaustible subject of review, debate and argument up until the present. This review aims to gather, in summarized fashion, the origins of the newborn screening programs and their beginnings in Spain as a first step in analyzing their development, evolution and current situation. This year updating is expected to take place in all the Spanish autonomous regions following publication in November 2014 of a state order that regulates and attempts to homogenize these programs.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of weekends and school holidays on the daily frequency and severity of respiratory and other symptoms among children attending schools with (index) or without (reference) moisture damage in Spain, the Netherlands, and Finland. Throughout 1 year, parents of 419 children with a respiratory condition attending index (n=15) or reference (n=10) primary schools completed three symptom diaries. We assessed associations between lower respiratory tract, upper respiratory tract or allergy, and other symptom scores and school day, weekend, or summer holiday using mixed regression models stratified by country and moisture damage. We evaluated interactions between moisture damage and type of day. We combined country-specific estimates (incidence rate ratios [IRRs] and 95% confidence interval [CI]) in meta-analyses. Symptom scores were lower during weekends and holiday. Lower respiratory tract symptoms were statistically significantly less common during holiday with strongest effect in index schools (IRR=0.7; CI=0.6-0.8). Reporting of other symptoms was more reduced during holiday in index (IRR=0.6; CI=0.4-0.9) than in reference (IRR=0.95; CI=0.8-1.2) schools (interaction P<.01). In conclusion, symptoms were less frequent and/or severe during summer holiday and weekends. This pattern was stronger among children attending moisture-damaged schools, suggesting potential improvement in moisture damage-related symptoms during school breaks.

Abstract
The zonary and endotheliochorial dog placenta is the most invasive placenta of carnivores. The importance of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in placenta invasiveness has been determined in several mammals including species with haemochorial, epitheliochorial and endotheliochorial placentation. Regarding the latter, the expression of MMP enzymes has been studied in the cat and the mature canine placenta. The aim of this study was to analyse the expression and activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the early dog placenta. Placentae from 18 to 30 days of pregnancy were collected from four bitches. Two placentae from each bitch were analysed. Placental tissue from one uterine horn was fixed in formaldehyde for immunohistochemistry, while marginal haematoma, labyrinth, non-implantative and implantative endometrium from the contralateral horn were immediately frozen in dry ice for the analysis of MMP expression (Western blot [WB]) and activity (zymography). MMP-2 and MMP-9 were evidenced in the labyrinth, maternal glands and marginal haematoma; this finding was directly correlated with levels of MMP expression by WB, and with the activity of MMP-2, mainly in the haematoma (the area of major remodelling of tissues). Thus, although MMP-9 is well expressed in the early canine placenta, it is not active. Given the important role of MMPs for invasiveness, maternal-foetal angiogenesis and the establishment of a correct foetal nutrition, the results are consistent with the findings in other species in which the MMP-2 activation precedes the MMP-9 one in early placentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to indoor allergens during early life may play a role in the development of the immune system and inception of asthma. OBJECTIVE To describe the house dust mite (HDM) allergen concentrations in bedroom dust during early life and to evaluate its associations with HDM sensitization, wheezing, and asthma, from birth to school age, in 5 geographically spread European birth cohorts. METHODS We included 4334 children from INMA-Menorca (Spain), BAMSE (Sweden), LISAplus and MAS (Germany), and PIAMA-NHS (the Netherlands). Dust samples were collected from bedrooms during early life and analyzed for Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Der p1) and Dermatophagoides farinae (Der f1). HDM concentrations were divided into four categories. Sensitization was determined by specific IgE. Wheezing and asthma information up to 8/10 years was collected through questionnaires. We performed mixed-effects logistic regression models and expressed associations as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS House dust mite concentrations varied across cohorts. Mean allergen concentrations were highest in INMA-Menorca (geometric mean (GM) Der p1 = 3.3 μg/g) and LISAplus (GM Der f1 = 2.1 μg/g) and lowest in BAMSE (GM Der p1 = 0.1 μg/g, Der f1 = 0.3 μg/g). Moderate and high HDM concentrations were significantly (P-values < 0.05) associated with 50-90% higher prevalence of HDM sensitization. No significant associations were observed with respiratory outcomes. CONCLUSION Our study based on geographically spread regions, a large sample size, and a wide range of allergen concentration shows that HDM allergen concentrations vary across regions and that exposure during early life plays a role in the development of allergic sensitization but not in the development of respiratory outcomes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Early-life exposure to microbial agents may play a protective role in asthma and allergies development. Geographical differences in the prevalence of these diseases exist, but the differences in early-life indoor microbial agent levels and their determinants have been hardly studied. We aimed to describe the early-life levels of endotoxin, extracellular polysaccharides (EPS), and β(1-3)-glucans in living room dust of four geographically spread European birth cohorts (LISA in Germany, PIAMA in the Netherlands, INMA in Spain, and LUKAS2 in Finland) and to assess their determinants. A total of 1572 dust samples from living rooms of participants were analyzed for endotoxin, Penicillium/Aspergillus EPS, and β(1-3)-glucans. Information on potential determinants was obtained through questionnaires. Concentrations of endotoxin, EPS, and β(1-3)-glucans were different across cohorts. Concentrations of endotoxin and EPS were respectively lower and higher in INMA than in other cohorts, while glucans were higher in LUKAS2. Season of sampling, dog ownership, dampness, and the number of people living at home were significantly associated with concentrations of at least one microbial agent, with heterogeneity of effect estimates of the determinants across cohorts. In conclusion, both early-life microbial exposure levels and exposure determinants differ across cohorts derived from diverse European countries. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS This study adds evidence of variability in the levels of indoor endotoxin, extracellular polysaccharide, and β(1-3)-glucans across four geographically spread European regions. Furthermore, we observed heterogeneity across regions in the effect of exposure determinants. We hypothesize that the variations observed in our study may play a role in the differences in asthma and allergies prevalences across countries.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to assess occurrence of dampness and mold in school buildings in three European countries (the Netherlands, Spain, and Finland), representing different climatic regions. An assessment was performed utilizing both questionnaires and on-site building investigations, and the agreement between these two methods was evaluated for validation purposes. On the basis of questionnaire data from a representative sample of schools, different types of moisture problems were reported in 24-47% of all school buildings at the time of the study. Most commonly reported was dampness in the Netherlands, moisture/water damage in Spain, and mold odor in Finland. Subsequently, 20-24 schools per country were selected for on-site inspections by trained staff. The overall agreement between the questionnaire and inspection data was good (kappa-value 0.62), however, with large differences (0.39-0.91) between countries. Extrapolating from the inspection data, the minimum estimates for prevalence of moisture problems in school buildings are 20% in the Netherlands, 41% in Spain, and 24% in Finland. In conclusion, moisture problems (such as moisture damage, dampness, and mold) are relatively common in schools. The occurrence and severity may vary across geographical areas, which can be partly explained by building characteristics. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS On the basis of this study, the prevalence of verified moisture problems in school buildings was highest in Spain, but lower and similar in Finland and the Netherlands. Questionnaire-based surveys can be used to assess moisture problems in school buildings, but because of large variation in agreement with inspection data, the questionnaire needs to be validated by on-site inspections in a subsample of the surveyed buildings.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Previous studies have found inconsistent results on the association between asthma in children and gas cooking emissions. We aimed to assess the effects of the long-term exposure to gas cooking on the onset of asthma and respiratory symptoms, focusing on wheezing, in children from two German birth cohorts: LISAplus and GINIplus. A total of 5078 children were followed until the age of 10 years. Asthma, wheezing, gas cooking, and exposure to other indoor factors were assessed through parental reported questionnaires administered periodically. Logistic and multinomial regressions adjusting for potential confounders were performed. The prevalence of asthma and persistent wheezing was higher among children exposed to gas cooking but the results were not statistically significant. Exposure to gas cooking was positively associated (P-value < 0.05) with exposure to other indoor factors (dampness, environmental tobacco smoke, and pets). Our results did not show a statistically significant association between the exposure to gas cooking and children's respiratory health. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS These analyses are consistent with the assumption of no effect of the exposure to low doses of nitrogen dioxide. The strong positive associations found between gas cooking and other indoor factors highlight the importance of considering other indoor factors when assessing health effects of gas cooking. Low-dose exposure to indoor nitrogen dioxide through gas cooking might not contribute to increase the risk of asthma and respiratory symptoms in children.

We examined the potential association of breast cancer risk in Mexican women with the polymorphisms CYP1A1 rs1048943, CYP1B1 rs1056836, COMT rs4680, GSTP1 rs1695, GSTT1 null and GSTM1 null which are involved in estrogen metabolism pathway. This study included 150 cases and 150 controls. A significant association was observed between, CYP1A1 rs1048943 (OR = 1.95, C.I. 1.13-3.36) and GSTP1 rs1695 (OR = 2.39, C.I. 1.24-4.24) polymorphisms with the risk of breast cancer. This risk was increased when the women were stratified according to their menopausal status. The results show that breast cancer risk significantly increases in women with 3-6 risk polymorphisms (OR = 3.75, C.I. 1.44-9.74).

Abstract
The estrogen receptor gene (ER alpha) has been implicated in the development of osteoporosis. In this study, the association of two ER alpha gene polymorphic markers (a TA dinucleotide repeat and a single nucleotide polymorphism, G2014A) with osteoporosis was tested in 70 osteoporotic women, 70 non-osteoporotic women and 500 subjects from the Mexican population. According to the genetic analysis of the Mexican population using eight unlinked polymorphic markers, we found that our population is structured into three subpopulations; therefore, the allele-phenotype relationship was analyzed with a statistical method that considered population stratification. We found that the G2014A polymorphism is associated with the presence of osteoporosis while the TA dinucleotide repeat is not. The G allele and the GG genotype frequencies of the G2014A marker were significantly higher in osteoporotic than in non-osteoporotic women. Likewise, subjects bearing the G allele in heterozygous or homozygous displayed lower values for lumbar bone mineral density and T score than those who did not present any G allele. The effect of confounders for osteoporosis on the association of G allele-osteoporosis was ruled out. In summary, we conclude that the G2014 polymorphism may become a useful marker for genetic studies of osteoporosis in the Mexican population.

Abstract
Calcitonin (CT) plays a role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and genetic variations in or adjacent to the CT gene may be associated with loss of bone mineral density (BMD). The correlation between a dinucleotide (cytosine-adenine) repeat polymorphism at the CT locus and BMD was examined in 70 osteoporotic women, 70 non-osteoporotic women and 500 subjects from the Mexican population. The allele A and genotype AA frequencies were significantly higher in osteoporotic women than in non-osteoporotic women (60% vs 32%; p < 0.0001 and 41% vs 14%; p = 0.0007, respectively). Genotype AA was associated with the presence of osteoporosis [odds ratio 2.58; 95% confidence interval (CI); 1.62-4.12]. Likewise, the loss of lumbar BMD and T scores were related to the presence of allele A: subjects with a single A allele displayed lower values for lumbar BMD and T score (84.02% and -1.51, respectively) than those who do not present any A allele (89.61% and -0.88, respectively). Individuals with two alleles A showed the lowest lumbar BMD and T-score values (73.77% and -2.51, respectively). Analysis of potential confounder demonstrated that aging has a significant effect on osteoporosis development (odds ratio 1.1; 95% CI; 1.1052-1.152).

Abstract
Human-papillomavirus (HPV)-E2 protein is involved in gene-expression regulation and replication of HPV genome. Disruption of the E2 gene during viral integration has been proposed as a mechanism of tumoral progression, since the expression of E6/E7 viral oncogenes is allowed. However, retention of E1/E2 genes and high viral amplification are frequently found in HPV16-positive carcinomas of some populations. In this study, we investigated whether retention of E1/E2 and viral amplification are associated with particular HPV16 E2 variants in cervical carcinomas. HPV16 detection, E1/E2 integrity and viral amplification were explored by Southern blot in 123 cervical carcinomas. HPV16 variants were identified by Southern blot and by sequencing E6, L1/MY and E2 regions. Of 46 HPV16-positive tumors, 34 were positive for E1/E2 and 14 of them showed a variant restriction pattern by mutations in E2. All 14 were Asian-American (AA) variants and, of 11 sub-classified, 6 were AA-a and 5 AA-c. Two E1/E2-negative tumors also contained the AA-c variant, while the remaining HPV16-positive tumors contained only European variants. The E2 gene of AA variants showed 24 mutations, 19 identical in both sub-classes. The 24 mutations were distributed throughout the entire gene and 19 result in 18 amino-acid changes. The AA variants were associated with E1/E2-positive carcinomas with more than 50 viral copies/cell (p = 0.035). The association of Asian-American E2 variants with retention of E1/E2 suggests that E2 variation may be an alternative mechanism de-regulating the expression of viral oncogenes.

Abstract
Current trends in the development of breast reduction surgery include a few minor refinements in classic inverted-T scar methods but, more, the increased use of vertical-scar reduction mammaplasty. The benefits of the latter, which include reduced scar burden and improved long-term projection, are attractive, although the technique itself has proved to be somewhat intuitive and more difficult to master. These shortcomings can be minimized and the technique safely learned by initially applying it to patients with minor degrees of macromastia and ptosis. New modifications and alternative approaches have been introduced recently to address the problematic areas of the vertical-scar technique. A survey of members of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons was undertaken at the 1998 annual meeting to review the current role of various techniques in breast reduction. The results revealed a slow acceptance of vertical-scar methods and the dominance of the inferior/central pedicle inverted-T scar method for a wide variety of macromastia types. Other issues were reviewed; they revealed the minimal role of both blood transfusion and liposuction and that more than half of breast reductions are still performed on an inpatient basis.

Abstract
We report a new case of pleomorphic fibroma of the skin arising on the face. The lesion was polypoid and fibrous, located on the dermis, and formed by coarse collagen bundles with sparse cells. It was also characterized by the presence of cellular atypia and pleomorphism without mitosis. Immunohistochemistry showed staining for vimentin and actin and negativity for S-100, CD34, CD68, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin and alpha-1-antitrypsin antigens, supporting a myofibroblastic origin. A few isolated cells also showed granular cytoplasmic detection of factor XIIIa. Although the disorder has been previously considered to be a tumour of preferential localization on the trunk or extremities, this does not always hold true as four of the 14 reported cases arose on the head. Pleomorphic fibroma is a benign condition and is we believe a variant of sclerotic fibroma.

Abstract
The distribution and amplification patterns of human papillomavirus were studied in 15 human papillomavirus (HPV) 16- and six HPV18-positive cervical carcinomas by colorimetric in situ hybridization (ISH). The findings were correlated with the viral copy number and status of E1/E2 viral genes in the tumor DNA, as studied by dot blot analysis and the polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The tumors were classified according to the ISH signal into single dot, multidot, diffuse, and mixed patterns. The signal was homogeneously distributed only in single dot tumors and was clearly heterogeneous in tumors with mixed nuclear signal patterns, including both dot and diffuse signals. The single dot pattern predominated in HPV 18-positive tumors (83%), whereas the multidot pattern was most frequent in HPV 16-positive tumors (47%). Diffuse and mixed patterns were noted only in HPV 16-positive tumors (33%). The lowest mean copy of number per cell was observed in single dot tumors (25 +/- 15) with an ascendent trend toward the diffuse signal tumors (2832 +/- 2281). E1/E2 genes were disrupted in 75% of the single/multidot tumors and in none of the diffuse/mixed tumors. These data suggest diffuse signals originate by episomal amplification and dot signals originate by viral integration. Diffuse and dot patterns suggest different mechanisms of viral transformation.

Abstract
The level of amplification (copy number/cell) of HPV16 and HPV18 viral genomes and its correlation with the presence of E1/E2 genes were analyzed in a sample of 42 HPV16- and 21 HPV18-positive cervical carcinomas of different clinical stages and histological types. The viral copy number/cell was assessed by dot-blot hybridization and the presence of E1/E2 genes by PCR and Southern blot. The copy number/cell was significantly lower in HPV18-positive than in HPV16-positive tumours (23 +/- 8 and 457 +/- 191 respectively). Nearly half of the HPV16s (43%) were distributed similarly to the HPV18s in the ranges of 50 or less copies, having its peak at the group of 1 to 10 copies, whereas the remaining HPV16s (57%) spread over the groups of 51 or more copies, with another peak at the group of 101 to 500. The E1/E2 region was absent in all tumours positive for HPV18 and present in 64% of those positive for HPV16. The HPV16 tumours negative for E1/E2 had a much lower viral copy number (17 +/- 12) than the positive ones (582 +/- 212), thus resembling HPV18-positive tumours. Viral copy number was negatively correlated with the clinical stage of the tumours and directly associated with the degree of histological differentiation. However, these correlations are primarily attributable to the presence or absence of an intact E1/E2 region.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the value of ultrasound (US) in assessing joint inflammation in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) of the knee. MATERIALS AND METHODS US scans obtained in 36 children (mean age, 8 years) with JRA of the knee were compared with those obtained in 30 healthy children. RESULTS Changes in synovial membrane (synovial thickness), presence of fluid in the suprapatellar bursa, and alterations in the contour (blurring) of the articular cartilage showed statistically significant differences between JRA patients and control subjects. US was more sensitive than physical examination for detecting a minimal amount of intra-articular fluid in 21% of JRA-affected knees with no clinical evidence of active disease. CONCLUSION US is a simple, rapid, inexpensive, and accurate method for assessing joint inflammation in patients with JRA of the knee.
