Elevated tibial tubercle-trochlear groove, external tibiofemoral rotation and entry point-transition point angle may be associated with cartilage damage progression in lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis, according to results.
“All three metrics essentially tell a similar story. If the patella or the extensor apparatus is lateralized, you might have higher forces — more localized forces, higher peak stresses — which could lead to the accelerated cartilage damage progression trend we observe,” Johannes M. Sieberer, MS, a graduate student in Yale School of Medicine’s

More than 80% of immunosuppressed patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy achieved seroconversion after receiving the recombinant zoster vaccine, according to data published in Arthritis Care & Research.
“Although [the recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV)] has shown an overall favorable safety profile in patients with [autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs)], concerns persist regarding vaccination in [idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM)], particularly considering sporadic reports of disease onset or flares following various vaccines, including those against influenza and SARS-CoV-2,”
