Description and Extensions

Description
NCI2016_NICHD_1602D:An immune-mediated disease characterized by inflammation in the axial skeleton including sacroiliac joints, vertebrae and vertebral joints. Peripheral joints may be involved as well. Clinical features can include low back pain and stiffness, limited motion of the lumbar spine, and limited chest expansion.|NCI2016_02D:An autoimmune chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by inflammation in the vertebral joints of the spine and sacroiliac joints. It predominantly affects young males. Patients present with stiffness and pain in the spine.|MSH2017_2016_08_12:A chronic inflammatory condition affecting the axial joints, such as the SACROILIAC JOINT and other intervertebral or costovertebral joints. It occurs predominantly in young males and is characterized by pain and stiffness of joints (ANKYLOSIS) with inflammation at tendon insertions.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:<p>Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/arthritis.html'>arthritis</a> of the spine. It causes inflammation between your vertebrae, which are the bones that make up your spine, and in the joints between your spine and pelvis. In some people, it can affect other joints.</p> <p>AS is more common and more severe in men. It often runs in families. The cause is unknown, but it is likely that both genes and factors in the environment play a role.</p> <p>Early symptoms of AS include back pain and stiffness. These problems often start in late adolescence or early adulthood. Over time, AS can fuse your vertebrae together, limiting movement. Some people have symptoms that come and go. Others have severe, ongoing pain.</p> <p>A diagnosis of AS is based on your medical history and a physical examination. You may also have imaging or blood tests.</p> <p>AS has no cure, but medicines can relieve symptoms and may keep the disease from getting worse. Eating a healthy diet, not smoking, and exercising can also help. In rare cases, you may need surgery to straighten the spine.</p> <p >NIH: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disease</p>|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint|CHV2011_02:chronic inflammation of the spine and the low back bone joint
