Filter by:The diagnosis of chronic inflammatory rheumatism with axial involvement is not always easy, and is fraught with difficulties : radiological sacroiliitis is not an early sign of spondyloarthritis and the delay in detecting radiological signs contributes to the delay in diagnosis. Nevertheless, spondyloarthritis is now the second most common chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease, affecting 0.43% of the french population. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of whole-body SPECT-CT CzT-based camera (VERITON-CT) in the assessment of chronic inflammatory rheumatism with axial involvement and especially of the sacroiliac joints. MRI of the sacroiliac joints was used as a gold standard.
Objectives of this study is evaluate effectivness of AESCULAP® Plasmafit® Plasmafit Cementless Acetabular System With Vitelene® Vitamin E Stabilized Highly Crosslinked Polyethylene compare to the sane sistem without Vitamin E, and ceramic or metal femoral heads
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of 10 weeks of maximal strength training (MST) in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease. As well as the effects of MST on maximal strength, rate of force developement and quality of life in this patient population.
Rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis (ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis mainly) are chronic inflammatory rheumatism (RIC), frequently onset in young adults. The prevalence is respectively 0.3 to 0.8% and 0.4%. or about 600,000 people. The "basic" treatments (DMARDs), essential to control the progression of the disease, are classified into csDMARDs (chemical), the first of which is methotrexate, or bDMARDs (biological). These treatments are immunomodulators and there is an increased risk of severe infection under these therapies. Several vaccinations are therefore recommended by learned societies in patients receiving these treatments, in order to prevent certain infectious risks.In the current pandemic context, the vaccination of these patients against SARS-Cov2 is a major issue in their management and is recommended by the French society of rheumatology. However, many patients express doubts about this vaccination or refuse it. The factors associated with the vaccination will are not known. Better identifying them would make it possible to adapt the information to be given to our patients to promote their adherence.
To date, studies on SARS-CoV2and vaccines have been mostly from the general population not exposed to immunosuppressants. The efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines need to be evaluated in these populations.
The project proposes to evaluate a strategy for prioritizing teleconsultation for patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases during the COVID-19 pandemia. This selection will be done through telephone contact by medical students, supervised by residents and rheumatologists on a patient database. The other objectives are to assess the impact of the pandemia on the physical and mental health of patients classified as being at risk
Recent studies have highlighted the consequences of COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing on mental health of individuals. The aim of this study is to evaluate those consequences within a sample of inflammatory chronic rheumatism affected patients, taking into account the well-known key role of stress in the set-up of such diseases.
The purpose of this study is to compare two modes of delivering high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in a population with inflammatory rheumatic disease over 10 weeks. One group will recieved HIIT supervised by a healthcare professional, the other group will perform self-monitored HITT with guidance by a smarthpone application.
Catastrophic is defined as a negative cognitive and emotional response based on inadequate pain expression. It has three components: rumination, amplification and vulnerability. The assessment of catastrophism is carried out using a validated questionnaire called the "Pain Catatrophizing Scale" (PCS). Recent studies highlight the significant impact of catastrophism in neuromuscular and mechanical rheumatic diseases such as gonarthrosis gonalgia and low back pain. In these diseases, it has been shown that catastrophism has a negative impact both on the experience of pain and on the response to different types of treatments (medical and surgical). Several studies have implemented multidisciplinary management and in particular cognitive-behavioural therapy with an improvement in the pain experience in patients who are catastrophic. In chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis, the prevalence and impact of catastrophism is still poorly understood.
The hypothesis is that group interaction associated with individual interviews intensify the acquisition of safety skills compared to individual interviews alone in patients with CIR treated by subcutaneous biotherapies.
