Anti-TNF-alpha treatment has a positive impact on the lives of people with AS, such that a major concern is being withdrawn from treatment, highlighting the need to provide tailored support to people being withdrawn from treatment.

Analysis of high frequency acoustic emission signals as a new approach for assessing knee osteoarthritis of acoustic assessment, 3 4 show that this relatively unexplored approach has potential for extending the range of available tools for knee arthritis assessment and monitoring.
The present study provides evidence of the long-term effects of anti-TNFα medication on the exercise behaviour of AS patients. It shows that AS patients are able to sustain a regular exercise programme over a number of years, provides insight into what motivates them to exercise and reveals the incentives that have influenced their choice of activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
