Is radiographic laxity of the trapeziometacarpal joint correlated with generalized joint hypermobility?
In normal volunteers generalized joint laxity is positively correlated with increased mobility of the TM joint, as demonstrated on carpometacarpal stress view radiographs.
RANTES expression in lymphocytes or histiocytes is significantly higher in patients with ulcerative colitis than in those with Crohn's disease. Hence, RANTES IHC can be an effective method for distinguishing between biopsy specimens of patients with ulcerative colitis from those of patients with Crohn's disease, where routine histological features are indeterminate. RANTES IHC may prove to be a useful technique for identifying early or equivocal granulomas.
