8290. A diagnostic algorithm for carpal tunnel syndrome based on Bayes's theorem.
To construct a diagnostic algorithm based on Bayes's theorem and using simple clinical tests to allow accurate diagnosis without resort to nerve conduction studies.
8291. Dermatomyositis associated with the presence of parvovirus B19 DNA in muscle.
We report a case of dermatomyositis associated with molecular evidence of parvovirus B19 DNA in two muscle biopsies collected 5 months apart. IgG- but not IgM-specific antibodies were detected in serum. None of four serum samples was positive for parvovirus B19 DNA. The two biopsies contained B19 VP1 sequences and the second one was also positive for NS1. This is the first report of viral parvovirus B19 DNA in muscle of a patient with dermatomyositis. Latent muscle infection may contribute to the clinical picture.

To test the predictive value of the cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP; a marker of type I collagen degradation), rheumatoid factor (RF) and C-reactive protein (CRP) for disease progression in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) METHOD: We tested the value of baseline values of RF, CRP and ICTP for the prediction of radiological joint progression over 3 yr in 63 consecutive patients with early RA who were treated with the 'saw-tooth strategy'.
8297. Nitric oxide is a mediator of apoptosis in the rheumatoid joint.
To study the role of nitric oxide (NO) derived from the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) pathway in the induction of apoptosis in the rheumatoid joint.
