Cards

Term
Synarthroses
Definition
solid joints, minimal movement
Term
fibrous synarthrosis
Definition
cranial sutures, tooth roots
Term
synchondroses
Definition
also cartilaginous synarthroses, symphyses
Term
Synovial joints
Definition
joint space with wide range of motion.
Term
synoviocytes
Definition
cuboid connective cells that synthesize hyaluronic acid. Lining lacks basement membrane
Term
OA locations
Definition
knees and hands in women and hips in men
Term
OA phases
Definition
chondrocyte injury, chrondrocytes proliferate and initiate inflammatory changes, then repetitive injury leads to chondrocyte drop out
Term
joint mice
Definition
dislodged pieces of cartilage and subchondral bone tumble into the joint forming loose bodies
Term
bone eburnation
Definition
friction burnished exposed bone
Term
osteophytes
Definition
mushroom-shaped bony outgrowth at the margins of the articular suface in OA. Capped by fibrocartilage
Term
OA
Definition
deep, achy, worsens with use, morning stiffness, crepitus. Heberden nodes
Term
Heberden Nodes
Definition
prominent osteophytes at the distal interphalangeal joints, common in women but not men
Term
RA
Definition
chronic systemic inflammatory disorder. women 3-5 more often. malaise fatigue, symmetrical with small joints first. swollen, warm, stiff. Joint effusions, osteopenia, morning stiffness, nodules
Term
OA morphology
Definition
inflammatory iniltrate, vascularity due to vasodilations w/ hemosiderin deposits, fibrin covering synovium and floating, accumulation of neutrophils, osteoclastic activity, pannus w/ potential fibrous ankylosis
Term
pannus
Definition
mass of synovium and granulation that grows over the articular cartilage and causes erosion. Can lead to fibrous ankylosis
Term
RA Signs
Definition
edematous, thickened, hyperplastic synovium; rheumatoid nodules, erosive vessel disease, vasculitis, peripheral neuropathy, ulvers and gangrene.
Term
Rheumatoid Nodules
Definition
skin subjected to pressure, firm, nontender, fibrinoid necrosis surrounded by histiocytes/macrophages
Term
Juvenile Idiopathic (Rheumatoid) Arthritis Subsets
Definition
systemic, oligoarthritis, RF+ polyarthritis, RF- polyarthritis, enthesitis, psoriatic, undifferentiated
Term
Juvenile Idiopathic (Rheumatoid) Arthritis VS RA
Definition
More: oligoarthritis, systemic disease, large joints, ANA seropositive.
Less: Nodules and RF
Term
Systemic Juvenile Arthritis
Definition
abrupt onset common, fevers, skin rash, hepatosplenomegaly, serositis
Term
Juvenile Oligoarthrisis
Definition
fouror fewer joints in the first 6 months without psoriasis. asymmetric, <6 years, iridocylitis and ANA+
Term
RF+ polyarthritis
Definition
similar to the adult form. > 5 joints in first 6 months.
Term
Enthesitis related arthritis
Definition
male children younger than 6 years, HLA-B27. Affects tendoliganemtous insertions sites and lower extremities
Term
Undifferentiated juvenile arthritis
Definition
Exclusion.
Term
Seronegative Spondyloarthropathies
Definition
Ankylosing spondyloarthritis, Reiter Syndrome, Enteritis-Associated Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis
Term
Ankylosing SPondyloarthritis
Definition
articular cartilage destruction by chronic synovitis. 2/3 decades. Male predominance. HLA-B27 more common. Genes: ARTS1, IL23R
Term
Reiter Syndrome
Definition
Triad: arthritis, nongonococcal urethritis/cervicitis, and conjunctivitis. Men 20-30s, HLA-B27. sausage finger and ossification. aortic regurgitation.
Term
Enteritis-Associated Arthritis
Definition
GI infection: Yersinia, Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter. Lipopolysaccharides. Knees and ankles. lasts about a year
Term
Psoriatic Arthritis
Definition
chronic inflammatory arthropathy. HLA-B27 and Cw6. ages 30-50. Sausage-like finter, interphalangeal joints, sacroiliac and spinal.
Term
Bacterial Arthritis
Definition
90 of nongonococcal cases are a single joint, most often the knee. Gonococcus, staphylococcus, streptococcus, H. influenzae, gram-negative bacilli. Fever, leukocytosis, high sed rate. Axial for drug addicts.
Term
H. influenzae Arteritis Demographic
Definition
predominantly children under 2
Term
S. aureus Arteritis Demographic
Definition
older children and adults
Term
Gonococcus Arteritis
Definition
late adolescence and young adulthood. Mainly sexually active young women.
Term
Salmonella Arteritis Demographic
Definition
Sickle cell
Term
Tuberculous Arthritis
Definition
gradual progressive pain. synovium may grow as a pannus. Obliteration of the joint space. Weight-bearing joints most affected.
Term
Lyme Arthritis
Definition
spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, Ixodes ricinus ticks. Initial infection of the skin. Arthritis in late disease. Onion-skin thickening. Resemble rheumatoid arthritis. Silver stains. HLA-DR may result in autoimmunity.
Term
Viral Arthritis
Definition
Alphavirus, parvovirus B19, rubella, EBV, Hep B/C, HIV (autoimmune)
Term
Gout
Definition
URAT1: urate transporter gene. HGPRT: salvage pathway. acute arthritis, tophaceous arthritis, tophi, neutrophilic iniltrate. May encrust surfaces in chronic. 20% die of renal failure.
Term
Tophi
Definition
hallmark. articular cartilage, ligaments, endons, soft tissues. Negatively birefringent crystals
Term
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
Definition
Only in males. HGPRT deficiency. Triad of mental retardation, hyperuricemia, self-mutilation
Term
Gouty Nephropathy
Definition
deposition in the renal medullary intersitium. May cause pyelonephritis
Term
CPPD
Definition
Calcium Pytophosphate Crystal deposition disease
Term
Calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (Pseudogout)
Definition
Linked to ANKH gene (transmembrane pyrophosphate transport channel) crystals first in articular matrix. phagocytosed by macrophages which activate NALP3 inflammasome. Neutrophils cause inflammation. Chalky-white friable deposits. Oval blue-purple aggregates in H&E. weakly birefringent
