Abstract

Objective: Optic nerve sheath enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging has been reported in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), with or without visual manifestations. Whether similar findings can be documented on ultrasound is unknown. Optic nerve ultrasound is a point‐of‐care, easy to learn, rapid, and noninvasive technique. This study aims to investigate whether optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) measured on ultrasound is useful in the diagnosis of active, new‐onset GCA. Methods: A single‐center, diagnostic accuracy study was performed from June to November 2022 on consecutive eligible patients referred for suspected GCA. Optic nerve ultrasound was performed on both eyes. The ONSD (includes the optic nerve and its sheath) and optic nerve diameter (OND) were measured 3 mm behind the ocular globe. The presence or absence of GCA was confirmed clinically 6 months later. Multivariable linear regression, adjusting for age and sex, was used to determine the association between optic nerve ultrasound measures and final GCA diagnosis. Results: Thirty participants were enrolled, including nine participants with a final diagnosis of GCA. Mean ± SD ONSD was 5.98 ± 1.17 mm in patients with GCA and 4.02 ± 0.99 mm in patients without GCA. Mean ONSD was greater by 1.26 mm in patients with GCA (95% confidence interval 0.30–2.21 mm, P = 0.01) compared with those without GCA, adjusting for age and sex. Mean ± SD OND was 2.97 ± 0.46 mm in patients with GCA and 2.47 ± 0.58 mm in patients without GCA. There was no evidence of an association between GCA diagnosis and OND. Conclusion: Patients with GCA had a significantly greater ONSD on ultrasound than patients without GCA. Optic nerve ultrasound may represent a novel, rapid, bedside diagnostic test for GCA. A large prospective study is required to confirm these findings and evaluate whether ONSD can be used as a disease activity biomarker in GCA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In the article, the authors present their study to determine the effectiveness of a hair colchicine assay for the testing of colchicine observance of patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) based on the international Livneh criteria. Also cited are the effectiveness of colchicine to treat FMF and reduce the occurrence of inflammatory amyloidosis, and the interleukin-1 inhibitors treatment as alternative to colchicine.

20. Two for One: A Self-Management Plan Coupled with a Prescription Sheet for Children with Asthma

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Despite strong recommendations in the asthma guidelines, the use of written self-management plans remains low among asthmatic patients.OBJECTIVES: To develop a written self-management plan, based on scientific evidence and expert opinions, in a format intended to facilitate its dispensing by health care professionals, and to test the perception of its relevance and clarity by asthmatic children, adolescents and adults.METHODS: Inspired by previously tested self-management plans, surveys of asthma educators, expert opinions and the 2004 Canadian Asthma Guidelines, the authors simultaneously developed French and English versions of a written self-management plan that coupled with a prescription. The self-management plan was tested in parents and their asthmatic children (aged one to 17 years), and it was revised until 85% clarity and perceived relevance was achieved.RESULTS: Ninety-seven children and their parents were interviewed. Twenty per cent had a self-management plan. On the final revision, nearly all items were clear and perceived relevant by 85% or more of the interviewees. Two self-management plans were designed for clinics and acute care settings, respectively. The plans are divided into three control zones identified by symptoms with optional peak flow values and symbolized by traffic light colours. They are designed in triplicate format with a prescription slip, a medical chart copy and a patient copy.CONCLUSION: The written self-management plans, based on available scientific evidence and expert opinions, are clear and perceived to be relevant by children, adolescents and their parents. By incorporating the prescription and chart copies, they were designed to facilitate dispensing by physicians in both clinics and acute care settings.
