Association of metabolic syndrome with knee and hand osteoarthritis: A community-based study of women (2018)
Journal Article

Objective It is unclear whether the association between osteoarthritis (OA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) varies with the site of the affected joint and the presence of pain. Our aim was to describe the association between MetS and radiographic OA... Read More about Association of metabolic syndrome with knee and hand osteoarthritis: A community-based study of women.

A large chronic pericardial effusion in an ultramarathon runner with anti-CCP positive rheumatoid arthritis (2017)
Journal Article

Pericardial effusions arise as an extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Pericardial effusions are often asymptomatic, particularly in the early phase, but patients are at risk of cardiac tamponade as the effusion progresses. We...

Associations Between Clinical Evidence of Inflammation and Synovitis in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Cross-Sectional Substudy (2016)
Journal Article

Objective Painful knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been associated with joint inflammation. There is, however, little literature correlating signs of localized inflammation with contrast‐enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of synovium. Thi...

Markers of synovial inflammation in cohorts at risk of knee osteoarthritis (2016)
Thesis

Background and objectives. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a leading cause of disability in the developed world. Additionally, it is possibly linked with premature mortality. Low-grade inflammation is associated with a high risk of non-traumatic KOA inc... Read More about Markers of synovial inflammation in cohorts at risk of knee osteoarthritis.

Suprapatellar synovial hypertrophy and reliability of the novel ultrasound assessment of suprapatellar recess in patients with recent knee injuries or early osteoarthritis (2016)
Journal Article

Purpose: Early through to late stage knee osteoarthritis (KOA) has been linked with effusion-synovitis in the suprapatellar pouch and chronic inflammation has been particularly associated with pain. Recent studies also suggest that synovial hypertrop...
