Abstract

Our study set out to analyze the radiographic progression of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients based on gender differences. A total of 146 AS patients were retrospectively blindly analyzed in at least 2 time points within 6 years using the modified Stokes AS Spine Score. The mean follow-up time was 3.8 ± 1.7 years, and 114 patients (78%) were male. The overall progression was similar between genders. Females showed higher progression in the cervical spine, and males in the lumbar spine. More females showed new cervical syndesmophytes, and more males showed new lumbar syndesmophytes. More females showed slow radiographic progression, and more males showed fast radiographic progression, while moderate progression was similar for both genders. Dorsal syndesmophytes showed no impact in the prediction of future progression. Female AS patients showed more cervical structural lesions, but male patients overall showed more rapid progress, leading us to conclude that dorsal vertebral edges do not add in depiction of radiographic deterioration in AS patients.

This paper shows that clinical manifestations and disease activity measures are highly comparable between patients with early nonradiographic axial spondylarthropathy and those with early AS. Male sex and elevated C-reactive protein levels are associated with structural damage on radiographs.PubMedCrossRef

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.

So sicher sind Tattoos: Neue Daten zur Risikobewertung

22.05.2024 Melanom Nachrichten

Das größte medizinische Problem bei Tattoos bleiben allergische Reaktionen. Melanome werden dadurch offensichtlich nicht gefördert, die Farbpigmente könnten aber andere Tumoren begünstigen.
