FRI0662 ACTIVATION AND LEUKOCYTE ADHESION IS ASSOCIATED WITH VASCULAR DAMAGE IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS AND PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
Background Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA), have a higher cardiovascular risk than the general population. There are data in other pathologies about the role of leukocyte adhesion on endothelial damage. Objectives To evaluate the relationship between leukocyte adhesion and subclinical vascular damage in patients with RA and PsA. Methods Observational, cross-sectional exploratory study. Patients with RA and PsA who had at least one previous vascular study were recruited in a tertiary hospital during a period of 3 months. All of them donated a sample of fresh blood. Neutrophils were isolated and perfused on a monola…
AB1057 risk factors associated with different lumbopelvic patterns of movement
Background Rapid flexion movement increases the loading on the spine and it increases the risk of injuries 1 . In asymptomatic subjects lumbar-dominant and pelvis-dominant patterns of movement during trunk flexion have been observed 2,3 . However, little information about lumbar spine kinematics has been provided. Objectives To find out whether exhibiting different lumbopelvic patterns of movement during trunk flexion affects the kinematics of the lumbar spine in terms of velocity of motion. Methods Differential lumbar spine and pelvis angular displacement during the time course of a standardised sagittal trunk flexion from an upright position was recorded with an electromagnetic tracking d…
