identify the prevalence of vertebral fractures (VFs) and to measure the scanographic bone attenuation coefficient of the first lumbar vertebra (SBAC-L1) based CT-scan, a biomarker of bone fragility in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and in a control group...
Ankylosing spondylitis(AS) is a term that many people with the condition, and healthcare providers who care for them, still use. The term "spondylitis" simply means "inflammation of the vertebrae," the small bones that make up your spine. Ankylosing spondylitis is considered an advanced or sev...
Learn the differences between rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis below. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are chronic, progressive inflammatory disorders that can impair a patients' physical fitness. They are among the most common types of rheumatic illnesses. Their et...
ankylosing spondylitis (AS) conflicting results on the risk of CV disease have been reported.6 An increased risk of IHD in AS was found in three studies.7, 8, 9 Also, a statistically significantly increased risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in AS was reported in some studies,10, ...
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is typically characterized by focal bone overgrowth and also by systemic bone loss. We hypothesize that the increased osteoproliferation found in AS might be partially due to reduced ability of osteoclast precursors (OCPs) to differentiate into osteoclasts (OCs). Therefore,...
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with symptom onset generally occurring in the late teens/mid-twenties. In women, a younger age at onset enhances disease susceptibility in the next generation. We examined the influence of age at symptom onset on phenotypic expression. ...

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis that can be particularly painful and crippling. It can cause severe inflammation and pain, but it can also cause deformity and fusion of the vertebrae in the spine.Natural remedies for ankylosing spondylitis include natural anti-inflammatories and...
AS Treatment Is as Important for Women as It Is for Men It would be one thing if the differences in how ankylosing spondylitis presents in women meant that they didn’t need the same treatments as men — but that isn’t the case at all. In fact, even though women don’t tend to sh...
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the influence of genetic effects in the aetiology and pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS: The study comprised one Norwegian and two Danish nationwide twin surveys. In 1994 and 2002, respectively, 37,388 and 46,331 Danish twin individuals were asked by ques...
