Arthritis
|
D001168 |
[Acute or chronic inflammation of JOINTS.

|
Arthritis, Experimental
|
D001169 |
[ARTHRITIS that is induced in experimental animals. Immunological methods and infectious agents can be used to develop experimental arthritis models. These methods include injections of stimulators of the immune response, such as an adjuvant (ADJUVANTS, IMMUNOLOGIC) or COLLAGEN.
, An experimental model of arthritis that is induced by injecting adjuvants. These adjuvants generally consists of a mixture of light paraffin oil, emulsifying agent, and infective agents or antigens, such as killed mycobacteria or bacterial lipopolysaccharides.
, An experimental model of arthritis that is induced by injecting COLLAGEN to stimulate the immune response.

Arthritis, Gouty
|
D015210 |
[Arthritis, especially of the great toe, as a result of gout. Acute gouty arthritis often is precipitated by trauma, infection, surgery, etc. The initial attacks are usually monoarticular but later attacks are often polyarticular. Acute and chronic gouty arthritis are associated with accumulation of MONOSODIUM URATE in and around affected joints.

Arthritis, Infectious
|
D001170 |
[Arthritis caused by BACTERIA; RICKETTSIA; MYCOPLASMA; VIRUSES; FUNGI; or PARASITES.
] |
|
Arthritis, Juvenile
|
D001171 |
[Arthritis in children, with onset before 16 years of age. The terms juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) refer to classification systems for chronic arthritis in children. Only one subtype of juvenile arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive) clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.

|
Arthritis, Psoriatic
|
D015535 |
[A type of inflammatory arthritis associated with PSORIASIS, often involving the axial joints and the peripheral terminal interphalangeal joints. It is characterized by the presence of HLA-B27-associated SPONDYLARTHROPATHY, and the absence of rheumatoid factor.
] |
|
Arthritis, Reactive
|
D016918 |
[An aseptic, inflammatory arthritis developing secondary to a primary extra-articular infection, most typically of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT or UROGENITAL SYSTEM. The initiating trigger pathogens are usually SHIGELLA; SALMONELLA; YERSINIA; CAMPYLOBACTER; or CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS. Reactive arthritis is strongly associated with HLA-B27 ANTIGEN.
, Historically characterized by a triad of inflammation involving the eye (CONJUNCTIVITIS), the bone (POST-INFECTIOUS ARTHRITIS), and the urethra (URETHRITIS), it is now thought to be nearly synonymous with reactive arthritis.

|
Arthritis, Rheumatoid
|
D001172 |
[A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated.

|
Arthritis-Encephalitis Virus, Caprine
|
D016088 |
[A species of LENTIVIRUS, subgenus ovine-caprine lentiviruses (LENTIVIRUSES, OVINE-CAPRINE), closely related to VISNA-MAEDI VIRUS and causing acute encephalomyelitis; chronic arthritis; PNEUMONIA; MASTITIS; and GLOMERULONEPHRITIS in goats. It is transmitted mainly in the colostrum and milk.

Arthrobacter
|
D001173 |
[A genus of asporogenous bacteria isolated from soil that displays a distinctive rod-coccus growth cycle.
] |
|
Arthrocentesis
|
D000069237 |
[Puncture and aspiration of fluid (e.g., SYNOVIAL FLUID) from a joint cavity. It is used sometimes to irrigate or administer drugs into a joint cavity.
, Aspiration of SYNOVIAL FLUID from the TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT cavity.
] |
|
Arthrodermataceae
|
D003883 |
[A family of ascomycetous fungi, order Onygenales, characterized by smooth ascospores. Genera in the family include Arthroderma, Keratinomyces, and Ctenomyces. Several well-known anamorphic forms are parasitic upon the skin.

Arthrodesis
|
D001174 |
[The surgical fixation of a joint by a procedure designed to accomplish fusion of the joint surfaces by promoting the proliferation of bone cells. (Dorland, 28th ed)
] |
|
Arthrography
|
D001175 |
[Roentgenography of a joint, usually after injection of either positive or negative contrast medium.
] |
|
Arthrogryposis
|
D001176 |
[Persistent flexure or contracture of a joint.
] |
|
Arthrometry, Articular
|
D053587 |
[Measurements of joint flexibility (RANGE OF MOTION, ARTICULAR), usually by employing an angle-measuring device (arthrometer). Arthrometry is used to measure ligamentous laxity and stability. It is often used to evaluate the outcome of ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT replacement surgery.
] |
|
Arthropathy, Neurogenic
|
D001177 |
[Chronic progressive degeneration of the stress-bearing portion of a joint, with bizarre hypertrophic changes at the periphery. It is probably a complication of a variety of neurologic disorders, particularly TABES DORSALIS, involving loss of sensation, which leads to relaxation of supporting structures and chronic instability of the joint. (Dorland, 27th ed)

|
Arthroplasty
|
D001178 |
[Surgical reconstruction of a joint to relieve pain or restore motion.
] |
|
Arthroplasty, Replacement
|
D019643 |
[Partial or total replacement of a skeletal joint.

|
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Ankle
|
D058737 |
[Replacement of the ANKLE JOINT.
