An important complication of pyogenic spondylitis is aneurysms in the adjacent arteries. There are reports of abdominal aortic or iliac aneurysms, but there are few reports describing infected aneurysms of the vertebral artery. Furthermore, there are no reports describing infected aneurysms of the vertebral arteries following cervical pyogenic spondylitis. We report a rare case of an infected aneurysm of the vertebral artery as a complication of cervical pyogenic spondylitis, which was successfully treated by endovascular treatment. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a 59-year-old man who complained of severe neck pain showed pyogenic spondylitis. Although he was treated extensively by antibiotic therapy, his neck pain did not improve. Follow-up MRI showed the presence of a cyst, which was initially considered an abscess, and therefore, treatment initially included guided tapping and suction under ultrasonography. However, under ultrasonographic examination an aneurysm was detected. The

The diagnosis of discospondylitis is based mainly on diagnostic imaging and laboratory results. Herein, we describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in 13 dogs with confirmed discospondylitis. In total there were 17 sites of discospondylitis. Eleven (81.1%) of the dogs had spinal pain for ,3 weeks and a variable degree of neurologic signs. Two dogs had spinal pain and ataxia for 4 days. Radiographs were available in nine of the dogs. In MR images there was always involvement of two adjacent vertebral endplates and the associated disk. The involved endplates and adjacent marrow were T1-hypointense with hyperintensity in short tau inversion recovery (STIR) images in all dogs, and all dogs also had contrast enhancement of endplates and paravertebral tissues. The intervertebral disks were hyperintense in T2W and STIR images and characterized by contrast enhancement in 15 sites (88.2%). Endplate erosion was present in 15 sites (88.2%) and was associated with T2-hypointense bone marrow ...

My name is Char and Im a mom of two of the most amazing daughters on the planet, a wife to my best friend and soul mate, a dancer, a personal trainer, a group fitness instructor and a motivator. Im also the owner of a fitness company and a dance-fitness studio, where I teach several weekly dance & fitness classes. What many may not know about me is that I have an autoimmune disease known as Ankylosing Spondylitis. I was born with the gene HLA-B27 and like many who suffer from AS, I came in contact with the right environmental pathogen to ignite the full blown disease. Medically AS falls into the rheumatic disease category of seronegative spondyloarthropathies, many also refer to it as a reactive arthritis. Either way people with AS suffer as a result of having their immune systems attack their spine and sacroiliac joints, the result is chronic pain and inflammation which also effects the joints, tendons and ligaments. AS sufferers can also have flare-ups in other areas of the body such as ...

General Information: Etiologic agent of canine brucellosis. They are highly infectious, and can be spread through contact with infected animal products or through the air, making them a potential bioterrorism agent. Once the organism has entered the body, it can become intracellular, and enter the blood and lymphatic regions, multiplying inside phagocytes before eventually causing bacteremia (spread of bacteria through the blood). Virulence may depend on a type IV secretion system which may promote intracellular growth by secreting important effector molecules. This bacterium is the causative agent of canine brucellosis. The main sources of infection are vaginal fluids of infected females and urine in males. The most significant symptoms are late abortions in bitches, epididymitis in males and infertility in both sexes, as well as generalized lymphadenitis, discospondylitis and uveitis. Human contagion is not frequent, although it has been reported, and is easily treated. B. canis can be ...

Urinary tract imaging depends on expense, time, equipment availability, familiarity and confidence in the image method. Radiography is widely available, quick, relatively inexpensive and can be performed by technicians. Ultrasound is expensive, time consuming, usually requires veterinarian participation and is subject to many artifacts. Nuclear imaging, computed tomography and magnetic resonance are limited.. Radiography. Technicians can obtain abdominal radiographs without patient preparation and or supervision. Radiographs provide a global image, are most valuable when clinical signs are vague and provide additional information such as discospondylitis secondary to urinary tract infection or pulmonary metastasis.

Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative condition which affects the lower spine. In a patient with lumbar spondylosis, the spine is compromised by a narrowing of the space between the vertebrae, causing a variety of health problems ranging from back pain to neurological issues. This condition is usually caused by old age, as the spine undergoes changes as people grow older, and many of these changes contribute to degeneration of the vertebrae. Spondylosis, which can appear in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae as well, is also known as spinal osteoarthritis. In a classic case of lumbar spondylosis, the space between discs in the lumbar spine becomes narrowed. As a result, the patient develops numbness, tingling, and pain which seem to radiate out from the area. These symptoms are the result of pressure on the nerves as they exit the spinal cord. If the spondylosis is allowed to progress, it can lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in impingement of the spinal cord, which ca ...

Aim: To study the relationship between disease activity, radiographic damage and physical function in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Patients and methods: Baseline and 2-year data of the Outcome in Ankylosing Spondylitis International Study (OASIS)(217 patients) were used. Physical function was expressed by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and the Dougados Functional Index (DFI); disease activity by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and by erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein; and structural damage by the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS). Syndesmophyte- and non-syndesmophyte sum cores, and numbers of affected (bridged) vertebral units were derived from the mSASSS. Univariate correlations were calculated on baseline values using the Spearman rank correlation. Multivariate associations were investigated by generalised estimating equations (GEE) on baseline and 2-year data.. Results: mSASSS ...

Title: HLA and Non-HLA Genes in Ankylosing Spondylitis and Seronegative Spondyloarthritis in Asia. VOLUME: 4 ISSUE: 2. Author(s):Hwee Siew Howe. Affiliation:Department of Rheumatology,Allergy and Immunology, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, 11 Jalan Tan Tock Seng, Singapore 308433.. Abstract: Genetic susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis, the prototype of the seronegative spondyloarthropathies is strongly associated with the major histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27. However besides HLA-B27, there are other genes, both MHC and non-MHC, that predispose to susceptibility and severity of disease. Studies on the genetic epidemiology of these diseases in Asia have shown similar findings to those elsewhere; with most showing strong association of HLA-B27 with ankylosing spondylitis, no difference in HLA B27 subtypes between patients and controls, some association of IL-1 gene cluster, TNF and LMP polymorphisms with ankylosing spondylitis, association of HLADR8 with acute anterior uveitis, and no association ...

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that commonly affects the joints of the spine. The relationship between ankylosing spondylitis and other diseases has been extensively explored.1 2 Recently, a cohort study in Canada conducted by Aviña-Zubieta et al published in Annals ofRheumatic Diseases disclosed that people with ankylosing spondylitis were at higher risk of venous thromboembolism compared with people without ankylosing spondylitis (HR 1.53, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.01).3 Aviña-Zubieta et als study is well performed and is informative to the researchers. Some of my views are shared with the readers as follows. First, the overall incidence of venous thromboembolism was 2.03-fold higher in people with ankylosing spondylitis than in those people without ankylosing spondylitis in Aviña-Zubieta etals study (1.56 vs 0.77 per 1000 person-years).3 The attributable risk associated with ankylosing spondylitis was 0.79 per 1000 person-years; that is, removal of ankylosing spondylitis can ...

abstract from The Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine.. The purpose of this retrospective study was to 1) describe the intraoperative appearance of various canine pathological spinal conditions, and 2) to investigate how intraoperative ultrasonography assisted in modification of surgical and postoperative treatment plans.. Twenty five dogs undergoing spinal surgery received intraoperative ultrasound examination. Presenting neurological signs included spinal pain, ataxia. paraparesis. paraplegia, tetraparesis and root signature. The surgical procedures included continuous dorsal laminectomies (10), hemilaminec-tomies (20). and one dorsal laminectomy. Final neurological diagnoses were Hansen type II discs (8), Hansen type I disc (7), caudal cervical vertebral instability and malformation (9), spinal cord neoplasia (astrocytoma in one dog and anaplastic neoplasia in another dog), discospondylitis (1), granulomatous meningoencephalitis (1) and a nerve sheath mass (1). There was one normal lumbar ...

In dogs with epididymitis due to brucellosis, concurrent disease is common, including discospondylitis, cystitis, prostatitis, anterior uveitis and lymphadenopathy[9]. Affected dogs usually present with vague symptoms of anorexia, dysuria, fever, tenderness in the groin region and testes. In purulent epididymits, hematuria and pyuria may be noted on urinalysis. In chronic cases, tsticular atrophy and azoospermia is common[10]. Comparison of testes may reveal tenderness in one or both, or there may be marked size differences palpable. Diagnosis usually requires ultrasonographic imaging, fine-needle biopsy for bacterial culture and histopathological examination. Samples of seminal fluid, blood and urine can also be used for culture of bacterial agents[11]. PCR testing of blood for Brucella antigens is necessary to exclude this as a possible underlying etiology. Secondary immune-mediated orchitis may ensue in some cases. Treatment involves broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy and possibly ...

A case of thoracic vertebral osteomyelitis due to Salmonella enteritis (SE) in an immunocompetent patient is reported. This is the third case in the literature of SE thoracic vertebral osteomyelitis, but the first one with this multi-foci presentation and finally fatal outcome due to meningoencephalitis. Further data that makes our case unique are the absence of fever (body temperature: 37.4°C) and gastrointestinal disorders. Case Report: A 57-year-old male patient initially presented with thoracic pain, dyspnea, and knee pain. Examinations revealed a large pleural effusion and septic arthritis. Blood and all these sides (vertebrae, pleural fluid, and joint fluid) cultures revealed SE. The infection was successfully treated with three surgical interventions, plus antibiotic administration. First, a chest tube was inserted and at the same time, we took cultures and specimens from the infected sites. Subsequently, bone debridement and spine fusion were performed, and finally, knee fusion was held with an

This study was conducted to delineate the epidemiology and microbiological status of in Hamedan, Iran.Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, all patients with definite diagnosis of spondylodiscitis (changing of intervertebral disc and adjacent vertebral MRI signal) hospitalized in Besat and Farshchian Hospitals of Hamedan between 2006 and 2015 (during 10 years) were enrolled by convenience sampling. Data on age, gender, underlying disease, constitutional symptoms, place of acquiring infection, leukocytosis, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), surgical intervention, vertebral biopsy culture, anemia, abscess, place of vertebral involvement, positive brucellosis test, and blood culture results were obtained from the patients medical files and recorded in a questionnaire.Results A total of 71 patients with

Objective. Pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) are frequently misdiagnosed and patients often receive anti-inflammatory drugs for their back pain. We studied the impact of these medications. Methods. We performed a prospective study enrolling patients with PVO and categorized them depending on their drugs intake. Then, we compared diagnosis delay, clinical presentation at hospitalization, incidence of complications, and cure rate. Results. In total, 79 patients were included. Multivariate analysis found no correlation between anti-inflammatory drug intake and diagnosis delay, clinical presentation, complications, or outcome. Conclusion. Anti-inflammatory drugs intake does not affect diagnostic delay, severity at diagnosis, or complications of PVO.

BACKGROUND: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) under hemodialysis (HD) are at greater risks of infectious spondylitis (IS), but there is no reliable predictor that facilitate early detection of this relatively rare and insidious disease. METHODS: A retrospective review of the medical records from patients with ESRD under HD over a 12-year period was performed at a tertiary teaching hospital, and those with a first-time diagnosis of IS were identified. A 1:4 propensity score-matched case-control study was carried out, and baseline characteristics, underlying diseases, and laboratory data were compared between the study group and the control group, one month before the date of diagnosis or the index date respectively. RESULTS: A total of 16 patients with IS were compared with 64 controls. After adjustment, recent access operation (odds ratio [OR], 13.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.53 to 49.91; p < 0.001), degenerative spinal disease (OR, 12.87; 95% CI, 1.89 to 87.41; p = 0.009), HD ...

The spondyloarthropathies represent highly enigmatic conditions and although their clinical features, anatomical distribution of disease and genetic predisposing factors have been known for some time, a unified concept of the basic pathobiology underlying these illnesses has remained undefined. Recently progress has been made because numerous independent studies have converged upon IL-23 as a central cytokine in spondyloarthropathy and the mechanism and sites of action of this cytokine have now become much clearer. These findings enable the rational design of therapeutic strategies which it is hoped will profoundly modify the progression of these diseases. We will review the anatomical sites affected and the evidence for the importance of IL-23 in these conditions, before drawing these lines of investigation together to propose a model for the unified understanding of spondyloarthropathy.

Secukinumab for ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis Ennio Lubrano, Fabio Massimo Perrotta Dipartimento di Medicina e Scienze della Salute “Vincenzo Tiberio”, Università degli Studi del Molise, Campobasso, Italy Abstract: The treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) positively changed since the introduction of anti-TNFα drugs. These treatments were shown to reduce the symptoms and signs of the diseases and improve the quality of life. However, a variable percentage of patients do not respond to anti-TNFα or can exhibit a loss of response and, furthermore, despite anti-TNFα drugs’ proven efficacy in reducing peripheral radiographic progression in PsA, the impact in reducing radiographic damage in AS is still debated. Recently, the discovery of new pathogenic mechanisms paved the way to the development of new drugs that target other pro-inflammatory cytokines. In particular, the inhibition of interleukin (IL)-17, which is

While many smokers light up to take away pain - like to alleviate a stressful morning at work - smoking can actually create more pain. Studies find smokers have higher levels of pain that is expressed as fibromyalgia, back pain, and headaches.. Heres another reason to stop smoking: Smoking can trigger or exacerbate back pain, creating problems like degenerative lumbar spine issues. Back pain is the most common chronic painful condition in America that reduces quality of life while creating enormous financial and social burdens.. Americans spend about $34 billion in direct costs yearly to treat back pain. While other factors play a role - including physical activity and work environment - smoking is an often-overlooked variable for back pain. In one study, 1,337 physicians from Johns Hopkins University followed participants, in some cases for more than 50 years. They found lower back pain was significantly associated with smoking history and hypertension, and development of lumbar spondylosis - ...

Lumbar spondylosis and prolapsed inter vertebral disc can cause low back pain as well as low back pain with radiating pain often called sciatica. Back pain can occur as a consequence of deficits in control of lumbar spine when the stress on the spine causes compression or stretch on the neural structures or abnormal deformation due to faulty mechanics. The majority of people presenting with this symptom have no pathoanatomic diagnosis excluding severe pathology such as fractures, surgery, tumours and infections. Fear of movement and reinjures induce inactivity and, therefore, contribute to risks of chronic disability. Encouragement to return to work and normal activities may sound counterintuitive. However, the longer a patient is off work because of LBP, the greater the risk of chronic pain and the lower the chance of ever returning to work. In a Norwegian study, fear reduction and light activity had a significant effect on sick leave at 6 months follow-up and 5 years follow-up. Previously we ...

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis that affects the spine. Ankylosing means stiff or rigid, spondyl means spine, and itis refers to inflammation. The disease causes inflammation of the spine and large joints, resulting in stiffness and pain. The disease may result in erosion at the joint between the spine and the hip bone (the sacroiliac joint), and the formation of bony bridges between vertebrae in the spine, fusing those bones. In addition, bones in the chest may fuse. The cause of AS is unknown, although researchers suspect genetics play a role. A gene called HLA-B27 occurs in over 95 percent of those with AS. However, some people with the HLA-B27 gene do not have AS.. ...
