    Notes: Summary The American Rheumatism Association (ARA) clinical criteria have been tested in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), progressive systemic sclerosis, polyarteritis nodosa and polymyositis/dermatomyositis. Hospital admissions from a defined population over the same period were studied. Increased weighting of the scores for the features showing the greatest specificity is suggested. These features are discoid lupus, alopecia, photosensitivity, LE cells and/or antinuclear antibody (ANA) and oral ulcers. Inclusion of histological evidence increased the sensitivity of the SLE scores.

    Notes: Summary During a community survery of rheumatic complaints in a Javanese rural population, fibrous shoulder girdle nodules having a consistent form and position were observed in seven men. This was 2.3% of 303 men with complaints examined from a total population of 2184 men surveyed by house-to-house interviews (response rate 95.2%). Nodules were not seen in any of the 640 women examined with complaints from a total population of 2499, nor were they seen in 130 men and 159 women with complaints from an urban population of 481 men and 590 women over the age of 15 years. It was considered most likely that these shoulder nodules were the result of longstanding repetitive mechanical irritation due to carrying heavy loads by a resiliant wooden pole balanced across the shoulder.

    Notes: Summary As part of the WHO/International League Against Rheumatism (ILAR) sponsored community organized programme for the control of rheumatic disease (COPCORD), an arthritis community education programme (ACE) was undertaken utilizing the traditional form of entertainment in a rural area in Central Java-the wayang. The point prevalence rate of musculoskeletal complaints was estimated in 4683 men & women aged 15 years and over by house-to-house interviews. From 1105 respondents recording recent musculoskeletal pain, 844 were randomly selected and half the latter attended a puppet shadow play (wayang) incorporating the ACE. The other half, matched for age, sex and educational level who did not see the play, served as controls. A questionnaire containing biphasic choices of correct or incorrect ways of performing activities of daily living (ADL) to minimize musculoskeletal problems was administered to the whole group before, 1 month and 6 months after the wayang. Increased knowledge of correct ways of performing ADL (correct ADL) in the intervention group compared with the control group at 1 and 6 months after wayang was significant (P〈0.05). Comprehension of correct ADL following the wayang could be demonstrated even in subjects who were illiterate and those who had attended primary school only. Retention of knowledge at the 6 month assessment declined more markedly in the illiterate group. ACE by wayang was shown to be feasible and effective in transferring knowledge on ADL to people with musculoskeletal problems in the sample population in Java. This effect could be shown even in the poorly educated section of the community. In the absence of adequate numbers of skilled primary health care professionals, public education programmes utilizing traditional forms of entertainment should be considered, especially in rural communities in developing countries.

    Notes: Summary In initiating a community oriented programme for the control of rheumatic disease (COPCORD), 1685 people of all ages from a rural area in the Philippines were questioned by primary health care workers (PHW) for limb and spinal rheumatic pain and disability. The total complaint rate was 15.3% for men and 18.5% for women. For those 15 years and older the age adjusted rheumatic pain rates for pain present at the time of survey were 28.4% for the Philippines and 22.6% for Lawrence's UK population. The most common rheumatic pain sites in this community were knee, lumbar spine, neck and the trapezius muscle. The disability rate was 4.5% for those 15 years and older. One quarter of those with pain had received medical attention and the remainder, herbal treatment, massage, various faith and/or self-treatment methods.

    The analgesic effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and placebo in chronic pain patients (1984)

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary The analgesic effects of high frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TNS), “acupuncture-like” TNS and placebo TNS were evaluated in 33 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic hand pain using a randomized, double-blind, non-crossover design. An oscilloscope was employed to monitor the stimulator output in the TNS treatment groups and to provide strong suggestion and a focus of attention in the placebo treatment group. The two forms of TNS were applied at the highest intensity that could be tolerated by patients. Assessments of resting pain, joint tenderness, grip strength and grip pain were made before and after treatment. The pain and joint tenderness measurements showed high frequency TNS, “acupuncture-like” TNS and placebo TNS to be equally effective in producing analgesia of similar degree and trend over time. The grip strength measurements showed no significant change. The results obtained with placebo are probably due to the suggestion and attention effects of the visual stimulus. The implications of these results in respect to pain control pathways are discussed. Although TNS given at high intensity was shown to be no better than placebo applied with strong suggestion, this does not preclude its use as a method of pain control in rheumatoid arthritis.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract The prevalence of various forms of soft tissue rheumatism, including painful low back syndrome (PLBS), painful restricted shoulder syndrome (PRSS), and epicondylitis without an underlying specific rheumatic disease, and the resultant loss of time from work were determined in a total population of 4,683 rural and 1,103 urban subjects aged 15 years and over in Central Java, Indonesia. In the rural study, 763 respondents with, and 355 respondents without complaints were examined. The urban survey evaluated 925 subjects. Prevalence rates in the rural and urban subjects were 20.0% and 25.8%, respectively, for PLBS, 14.5% and 16.2%, respectively, for PRSS, and 5.8% and 7.5%, respectively, for epicondylitis. Lost time from work in the rural and urban subjects was 9% and 2.2%, respectively, for PLBS, 5% and 1.1%, respectively for PRSS, and 2% and 1.3%, respectively for epicondylitis. The mean number of lost work days per year in the rural and urban subjects were 15.3 and 21.1, respectively, for PLBS, 8.1 and 15.2, respectively, for PRSS, and 3.9 and 2.3, respectively for epicondylitis. Thus, these forms of soft tissue rheumatism exerted significant effects on community life, apart from causing pain and discomfort. Work days lost directly means diminished income in populations lacking any form of unemployment benefits.

    Notes: Summary The three Tokelau atolls are 8 degrees south of the equator. In 1966 the islands were involved in a severe hurricane which drew attention to overcrowding and led to resettlement of more than half the population in New Zealand. One thousand three hundred and eighty one migrants over 15 years old were examined in New Zealand in 1980 and 1981 for rheumatic complaints as part of a continuing assessment. Clinical criteria for osteoarthritis (COA), including crepitus in any joint and in the knee, showed an increase in prevalence with age and weight in both sexes. Partial correlation coefficient analysis showed an association of the number of affected joints or the severity of knee COA (COAK) with both age and weight. Stepwise regression showed that age was the best predictor of both COA and COAK scores. Weight had predictive value only for COAK and only in women. Using the tracking method, previous high and/or increasing weight was related to COAK observed at this assessment. Heberden nodes increased with age and were more prevalent in women but were not associated with weight. Low back, dorsal and neck pain showed no association with age or sex. Low back pain was associated with weight. Joint pain following injury occurred in 15.4% of men. Gout, more common in men, was the only frequent inflammatory arthritis found. Two definite cases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were identified and four had criteria 1 and 2 for the New York criteria.

    Notes: Summary The migration of 1381 Tokelauans 15 years and over to New Zealand leaving 811 in Tokelau, provided a unique opportunity to test centuries of speculation on the impact of environment on rheumatic disease. There was no change in all rheumatic complaints. The migrant men had more gout, joint pain following injury, and neck pain. The migrant women had more dorsal back pain. There was no change in the prevalence of clinically defined osteoarthritis (COA) despite positive associations with weight and higher weights in the migrants. Rheumatoid arthritis was infrequent in both populations. Low back pain was common but was not more common in migrants, though compensation payments are readily available in New Zealand and are not in the Islands.
