“…Trait stability as measured by the K-TEA:BF, however, was impressive in relation to the fact that learning-disabled students are known to be much more heterogeneous in their test performance; that is, erratic test profiles are common for learning-disabled students (Sattler, 1988). Although group test-retest Math, Reading, and Spelling means do not differ significantly, individual variation was observed, with scores ranging from 37 points lower to 27 points higher on the retest.…”

“…For special need decision making, qualitative analysis of a student's learning style (Sattler, 1988), individual strengths and weaknesses, as well as changes in performance over time is necessary. Due to the individual variability in performance changes observed in the present sample, school systems are encouraged to identify more clearly those students with serious learning needddeficits, examine more closely those individual students who demonstrate significant gains versus those who score significantly lower, and focus on why learning disability programs benefit some students more than others.…”

“…The Brief Form samples global skills in the areas of reading, mathematics, and spelling and can be administered in approximately 30 minutes. All standard scores are set at a mean of 100, with a standard deviation of 15, which allows for comparisons between the K-TEA results and other instruments with similar statistical properties (Henson & Bennett, 1985;Prewett, Bardos, & Fowler, 1991;Sattler, 1988).…”

“…A longitudinal and transversal section of the dorsal, lateral and ventral part of the glenohumeral joint was performed for pathologic alterations: (1) of the bone structure, (2) of the bursae and intraarticular eusion/synovitis, (3) of the soft part (muscles, tendon sheaths), and (4) of articular stability [18,19]. Pathological changes of the glenohumeral joint were analyzed to established criteria [21].…”

Ultrasonography of the glenohumeral joints - a helpful instrument in differentiation in elderly onset rheumatoid arthritis and polymyalgia rheumatica

In a prospective study, the glenohumeral joints of 51 patients (aged 60 or above) were examined, using ultrasonography. Twenty-two patients were suffering from characteristic polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) symptoms. In contrast, 29 other patients initially had similar complaints, but were diagnosed as having elderly onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA, rheumatoid factor negative) upon development of typical symptoms. Ultrasound examination revealed glenohumeral joint inflammation in 40.9% (9/22) of the patients with PMR and 65.5% (19/29) of the patients with EORA. A discrete symmetrical biceps tendon sheath effusion was found in only three patients and unilateral in six patients with PMR. In contrast, 12 patients with EORA presented a massive effusion of the biceps tendon sheath, in some cases combined with a bilateral subdeltoid bursitis, and an intraarticular (i.a.) effusion/synovitis. To summarize our results: an i.a. effusion/synovitis, subdeltoid bursitis and biceps tendon sheath effusion were more frequent in patients with EORA, with a predominate symmetry and signs for massive inflammation. The typical ultrasonographic result in patients with PMR was a unilateral inflammation of the glenohumeral joint with predominate discrete biceps tendon sheath effusion and, in comparison with the EORA group, with signs of a low grade inflammation. We conclude that the results of our prospective study might be helpful in the differentiation of PMR and a rheumatoid factor negative subgroup of EORA at the first time of manifestation where clinical overlaps can be observed. However, ultrasonography of the glenohumeral joints might be a good and helpful instrument of differentiation in both diseases.

“…They are easily identified because their echogenicity depends on the angle at which they reflect the ultrasound waves. This creates the "phenomenon of the moving reflex," with maximal echogenicity being always at the part of the tendon that is hit by the sound wave at a 90" angle (2). A very important clinical applicatialn is the evaluation of tendons in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic tenosynovitis.…”

The history and physical examination, laboratory evaluation, and imaging techniques are the cornerstones of diagnosis and therapy in rheumatology. However, rheumatologists are actively involved only in the first part of this triad; blood and other specimens are sent off to the laboratory and imaging technologies are performed and interpreted by the radiologist. This is different in other subspecialties of internal medicine, such as cardiology or gastroenterology, where diagnostic procedures, including more invasive examinations, are performed by the specialized internist and comprise the major part of the patient evaluation. Aside from arthrocentesis, the rheumatologist cannot offer much in the way of in-office diagnostic technology for the patient.About 20 years ago, when ultrasonography became increasingly important in clinical practice, internal medicine in Germany and several other European countries approached this new technology differently from that in North America. Abdominal ultrasonography (USG) is usually performed by the physician who took the patient's history and performed the physical examination, and not by a radiologist or specialized technician. Thus, ultrasound waves became the physician's "extended fingers." Ten years later, when USG was introduced for joint and soft tissue evaluations, the same principle was applied: the rheumatologist was the main operator of this new modality. This is certainly justified, because more than other diagnostic imaging techniques, useful results from USG of the
