Enthesitis is inflammation of the entheses (singular: enthesis), the sites where tendons, ligaments and joint capsules attach to bones. [1] [2] It is a type of enthesopathy, meaning any pathologic condition of the entheses, with or without inflammation. There are some cases of isolated, primary enthesitis which are very poorly studied and ...
Symptoms of spondyloarthritis include back pain, arthritis, and enthesitis, inflammation at bone-adhering ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules. Spondyloarthritis is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. [3] It is associated with intestinal inflammation, with a connection between Crohn's disease and ankylosing ...
A disease of the entheses is known as an enthesopathy or enthesitis. [5] Enthetic degeneration is characteristic of spondyloarthropathy and other pathologies. The enthesis is the primary site of disease in ankylosing spondylitis.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), formerly known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), [1] is the most common chronic rheumatic disease of childhood, affecting approximately 3.8 to 400 out of 100,000 children. [3]
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by abnormal calcification/bone formation (hyperostosis) of the soft tissues surrounding the joints of the spine, and also of the peripheral or appendicular skeleton. [1]
Tendinopathy is a type of tendon disorder that results in pain, swelling, and impaired function. [2] The pain is typically worse with movement. [2] It most commonly occurs around the shoulder (rotator cuff tendinitis, biceps tendinitis), elbow (tennis elbow, golfer's elbow), wrist, hip, knee (jumper's knee, popliteus tendinopathy), or ankle (Achilles tendinitis).
Infants are usually introduced to solid foods at around four to six months of age. [1] Breastfeeding aids in preventing anemia, obesity, and sudden infant death syndrome, and promoting digestive health, immunity, intelligence, and dental development. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusively feeding an infant breast milk for the ...
The development of targeted biological treatments has had an impact on enteropathic arthritis management. Psoriatic arthritis , [ 32 ] [ 33 ] enthesopathy linked to spondyloarthropathy , [ 34 ] and refractory ankylosing spondylitis [ 35 ] can all benefit from biological blockade using the TNFa antagonists etanercept and infliximab .
