13. Cryoimmunoglobulinemia in rheumatoid arthritis. Significance in serum of patients with rheumatoid vasculitis.
Cryogloculins were examined in a standardized manner in an unselected group of 35 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 8 patients with RA complicated by cutaneous vasuclitis and neuropathy. Optimum conditions for detection and characterization of cryoglobulins were established; the proportion of resolubilized to total precipitable protein remained con

14. Factors associated with the development of vasculitis in rheumatoid arthritis: results of a case-control study.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate those characteristics of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that are associated with the development of rheumatoid vasculitis (RV). METHODS: Demographic and clinical data of 69 patients who had been diagnosed as having RV were compared with those of 138 contemporaneous control patients with RA who were not suspected to have vas

15. Renal findings in rheumatoid arthritis: clinical aspects of 132 necropsies.
Renal abnormalities in 132 necropsied patients with rheumatoid arthritis were studied. Clinical findings before death included extra-articular manifestations of the disease (86% of patients), systemic vasculitis (6%), and uraemia (23%). Necropsy findings included nephrosclerosis (90%), systemic vasculitis (14%) with kidney involvement in 8%, amyloidosis (11%

16. Isolated nail fold vasculitis in rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVES--To establish the clinical significance of isolated nail fold vasculitis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS--Patients attending hospital with established RA were assessed by a single observer using unaided vision. Isolated nail fold vasculitis (NFV) was diagnosed as small nail edge or nail fold lesions without any evidence of othe

17. Vestibulocochlear dysfunction in a patient with rheumatoid disease and vasculitis.
The case is described of a patient with rheumatoid disease and evidence of vasculitis who developed acute vestibuloauditory dysfunction resulting in total deafness, which was assumed to be secondary to a vasculitic process affecting the vestibulocochlear nerve. Treatment of the underlying vasculitic process, despite effecting a general improvement of the pat

18. Effect of penicillamine treatment on immune complexes in two cases of seropositive juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
Bresnihan, F. P., and Ansell, B. M. (1976).Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases,35, 463-465. Effect of penicillamine treatment on immune complexes in two cases of seropositive juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. A correlation has previously been observed between the presence of enhancing complexes and cutaneous vasculitis in rheumatoid arthritis. Two patients with se

19. Recovery from rheumatoid cerebral vasculitis.
A 48-year-old woman with the classical features of longstanding rheumatoid arthritis acutely developed a diffuse cerebral disease. Angiograms showed extensive cerebral vasculitis, and CT scan demonstrated cerebral oedema and haemorrhage. Her clinical state, EEG and CT scan rapidly returned to normal following treatment with corticosteroids.

20. Sjögren's syndrome, vasculitis, and cryoglobulinaemia associated with a monoclonal IgM (kappa) paraprotein with rheumatoid factor activity.
A patient is described with primary Sjögren's syndrome with an infrequently reported complication--vasculitis and cryoglobulinaemia due to a monoclonal IgM (kappa) paraprotein with rheumatoid factor activity. The clinical and theoretical implications are discussed.

21. Coronary arteritis complicating rheumatoid arthritis.
The case is described of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who developed heart failure and vasculitis and died of a myocardial infarction. Autopsy showed vasculitis of several major epicardial coronary arteries. Coronary arteritis in a patient with RA is seldom diagnosed during their lifetime but should be suspected when such a patient develops ischae

22. Serum alkaline ribonuclease derived from vascular endothelial cells is raised in patients with rheumatoid vasculitis.
We investigated the mechanisms of the marked increase of alkaline ribonuclease (RNase) in the sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis associated with vasculitis. Among various tissues examined, blood vessels contained higher levels of alkaline RNase than acid RNase. Cultured human endothelial cells contained significantly higher amounts of alkaline RNase

23. Are rheumatoid nodules caused by vasculitis? A study of 13 early cases.
Rheumatoid nodules are especially found in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is often suggested that the genesis of these lesions is due to a vasculitis in smaller capillary vessels or venules. To test this hypothesis we studied fresh nodules in 13 patients, all with classical or definite RA. In 7 cases a total of 8 nodules were remove

24. Circulating Immune Complexes in Cutaneous Vasculitis: DETECTION WITH Clq AND MONOCLONAL RHEUMATOID FACTOR
To investigate the pathogeneic significance of immune complexes in cutaneous vasculitis, 107 patients with various forms of cutaneous vasculitis, including 59 patients with necrotizing (leukocytoclastic) vasculitis (group 1), and 48 patients with lymphocytic vasculitis, or a predominately lymphocytic perivascular infiltrate (group 2), were studied. Immunoglo
