Abstract:
In addition to the axial diseases that characterizes axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), many patients also develop peripheral musculoskeletal involvement. This can include peripheral joint synovitis, enthesitis, and dactylitis. Peripheral musculoskeletal involvement is an important component of the disease with significant impact on function and quality of life. Many of the features may also be subtle and overlooked, unless specifically evaluated and examined. In particular, hip disease is a bad prognostic feature and, if present, may require more aggressive therapy or surgical intervention. On

Abstract:
Social science scholars have repeatedly predicted the demise of regional (or peripheral) nationalism, from the late nineteenth century to the post-World War II period and in the 1990s. However, all suggestions about the death of regional nationalism have been proven wrong. On the contrary, nationalist movements in the West have not only survived advanced capitalist development in liberal democratic contexts but have thrived as well. In the developing world, decolonization gave rise to a variety of regional nationalist movements that frequently spiraled into violent conflict and secessionist at

Abstract:
Pain is a multidimensional sensory experience that is mediated by complex peripheral and central neuroanatomical pathways and mechanisms. Typically, noxious stimuli activate specific peripheral nerve terminals onto Aδ‎ and C nerve fibers that convey pain and generate signals that are relayed and processed in the spinal cord and then conveyed via the spinothalamic tracts to the contralateral thalamus and from there to the brain. Acute pain is self-limited and resolves with the healing process, but conditions of extensive injury or inflammation sensitize the pain pathways and generate aberrant,

Abstract:
Inflammation results from a complex interaction between a large number of mediators able to induce each other and to favour the generation of other inflammatory molecules (e.g. free radicals, lipid mediators, and proteases). The perpetuation of inflammation by these cascades of mediators is favoured by their ability to induce coagulation, leukocyte recruitment, and cell and tissue alteration (apoptosis, necrosis, and barrier disruption). Other cascades of mediators occur to generate anti-inflammatory mediators favouring the healing process. A neuroendocrine loop and neuromediators from central

Abstract:
Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures generally a few millimetres in size, distributed widely throughout the body and assuming a major role in the immune system. Peripheral lymph nodes are not normally palpable except in thin individuals. Enlargement of lymph nodes is called lymphadenopathy. It is important to distinguish between reactive lymphadenopathy, which is usually an appropriate response to infection or inflammation, and malignant or neoplastic lymphadenopathy.

Abstract:
Spondyloarthropathies consist of several rheumatic conditions, initially grouped together on the basis of shared clinical features, later reinforced by their strong association with HLA-B27. The distinctive features are axial involvement, including sacroiliac joints, and enthesitis—inflammation at ligament and tendon insertions—together with certain extra-articular manifestations. The presentation of a patient with combinations of inflammatory spinal pain, peripheral synovitis and/or enthesitis, and typical extra-articular manifestations, often with a family history, is characteristic.

This chapter reviews the landmark paper published in 1990 by Stein et al. and entitled ‘Opioids from immunocytes interact with receptors on sensory nerves to inhibit nociception in inflammation’. Opioids, besides acting centrally as analgesics, may act peripherally upon opioid receptors located on axons and on immune cells. In the publication by Stein et al., it was shown for the first time that endogenous opioid peptides released from immune cells mediate stress-induced analgesia, potentially through opioid receptors on peripheral nerve endings.
