摘要:
The documentation of treatments used for Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is important to allow for the evaluation of practice patterns for future outcome studies. A survey of nine pediatric rheumatologists was performed between September 1999 and February 2000. Each of the physicians prospectively recorded demographic and treatment information on consecutively sampled JRA patients (n=395). Pauciarticular onset JRA was present in 46%, polyarticular onset JRA in 35%, and systemic onset JRA in 19% of the children. Naproxen was the most frequently prescribed medication (55% of the patients), followed by methotrexate (MTX), which was used in 39% of the patients. Folic acid supplementation (1 mg/day) was provided to 69% of the patients treated with MTX. Etanercept was used in 11% of the children. Eleven percent of the patients received corticosteroids, and 13% of children on corticosteroids took calcium supplements. Uveitis was present in 8% and had a chronic course in 79% of those cases. Although systemic medications were used in 50% of the children with uveitis to control eye inflammation, severe damage to the eyes developed in 30% of them. Fourteen percent of the patients required gastroprotective medications. Compared with findings of a similar survey performed in 1993, there was no significant change in the frequency of use of naproxen, but nabumetone is now more often prescribed, and COX-2 inhibitors have been introduced in the therapy of JRA. Changes among second-line agents used for JRA have also occurred, although there was no change in the frequency of use of MTX or corticosteroids. JRA continues to be a treatment challenge for the practicing pediatric rheumatologist. Patients often show incomplete response to the currently available medications. Therefore, new therapeutic agents need to be evaluated for their use in JRA, and the treatment of JRA associated uveitis especially needs to be improved.

摘要:
The clinical features of adult onset Still’s disease (AOSD) have rarely been described in Thai patients. We report the clinical manifestations, laboratory findings, and outcome of 16 Thai patients with AOSD, and compare these findings with those of the western and other oriental series. Fourteen patients (87.5%) had the onset of their disease between 16–35 years of age. The most common features presented were fever (100%), arthralgia and myalgia (100%), significant weight loss (84.6%), arthritis (81.3%), skin rashes (68.8%), sore throat (62.5%), elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (100%), leukocytosis (93.8%), and liver dysfunction (75%). Pleuro-pericarditis and abdominal pain were uncommon. All but 2 patients required corticosteroids to control their systemic disease activity. The clinical course of 13 patients, who were followed for more than 12 months, was monocyclic systemic disease in four cases, polycyclic systemic disease in five, chronic articular monocyclic systemic in one, and chronic articular polycyclic systemic in three. When compared with western and other oriental series, the AOSD in Thai patients shared similar clinical features and laboratory findings, suggesting that mechanisms of pathogenesis may be similar in patients from widely different genetic backgrounds and geographic locations. Corticosteroids were frequently required and dramatically effective.

摘要:
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder that can have a substantial impact on daily life. The aims of this study were to describe the symptoms reported in a group of individuals with EDS and to investigate the impact on functional health status by means of the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP). Seventy-seven individuals, members of the Swedish EDS Association, completed 2 mailed questionnaires. The most frequent symptoms were related to activity, e.g., joint problems (75%), to pain (71%), and to skin/tissue (52%). Pain was reported by 37 individuals (48%) as their most severe symptom. The SIP results showed an overall mean score of 13.0 (females 13.9, males 5.6), compared with a Swedish reference group with a SIP score 1.3. Women with EDS reported a better functional health status than females with rheumatoid arthritis (overall SIP score 13.9 versus 21.4). In comparison with women with fibromyalgia, the EDS females rated their functional health status as worse on the physical dimension (p<0.05) and the subscale home management (p<0.05), and as better on the subscale work (p<0.05).Impact of EDS on the individual’s daily life needs to be acknowledged, assessed, and evaluated in healthcare.
