The Journal of Pediatrics

Abstract

HLA-B27 typing of all arthritic children helped to identify and focus attention on a subset whose disease was pathogenetically related to and demonstrated clinical features of ankylosing spondylitis and Reiter syndrome, but only rarely fulfilled current diagnostic criteria for those disorders (spondyloarthritis). In contrast to other forms of childhood arthritis, enthesopathy (inflammation at the sites of attachment of ligaments and tendons to bone) was a prominent feature in 75%; a family history of similar arthritis was obtained from 60%; boys were more frequently affected (2:1); urethritis, acute iritis, conjunctivitis, or keratoderma blennorrhagicum occurred at some time in 42%; and the initial attack followed an unexplained febrile illness, known dysentery or urethritis, or severe musculoskeletal trauma in 41%. The arthritis was generally pauciarticular, asymmetric, and primarily in the feet and large joints of the lower extremities. Distinctive radiographic features included periostitis, severe osteopenia, calcaneal erosions, and heel spurs; three of 58 had rapid destruction of a single joint. Only ten patients (all boys) were found to have radiographic sacroiliitis after an average of five years of disease, and only thre...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
