Ankylosing Spondylitis

     Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis that affects the joints of the spine. Ankylosing spondylitis symptoms include back pain and stiffness from the neck down to the lower back. Eye and bowel problems may also occur. The spine's bones (vertebrae) fuse together, resulting in a rigid spine. These changes may be mild or severe, and may lead to a stooped-over posture. Early diagnosis and treatment helps control pain and stiffness and may reduce or prevent significant deformity.
       There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis. Treatments may improve symptoms and prevent worsening. This may include medication, exercise, and surgery. Medications used include NSAIDs, steroids, DMARDs such as sulfasalazine, and biologic agents such as infliximab. Ankylosing spondylitis affects about 0.1% to 0.5% of the adult population. Although it can occur at any age, spondylitis most often strikes men in their teens and 20s. It is less common and generally milder in women and more common in some Native American tribes.
          The cause of ankylosing spondylitis is unknown; there is a strong genetic or family link. Most, but not all, people with spondylitis carry a gene called HLA-B27. Although people carrying this gene are more likely to develop spondylitis, it is also found in up to 10% of people who have no signs of the condition.

  1. A few understudies in schools and universities are horrible for different understudies in light of the best ideas that a few understudies don't come to educational foundations to get getting ready.
