Herpes Zoster

Herpes zoster, also known as zoster or shingles, is caused by a virus called varicella zoster virus (VZV). Initial infection with the virus causes chickenpox. After chickenpox resolves the virus continues to resides in certain nerve cells. It may remain latent for many years. It may also re-activate, many years later, and cause shingles which is a painful skin rash. How the virus remains latent in the body is not well understood.

Hypothyroidism

Project Outline:  Selection of all Caucasian patients with hypothyroidism without a secondary cause of surgical removal or radiological ablation.  The search is designed to eliminate subclinical hypothyroidism (by requiring that patients be on a replacement medication), medication-induced hypothyroidism (e.g., PTU, lithium, or history of amiodarone), and transient causes (e.g., pregnancy or subacute thyroiditis).

Identification of Fibromyalgia Patients in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Cohort

Fibromyalgia has been estimated to affect 12-17% of rheumatoid arthritis patients (1, 2). 

This algorithm was created to identify fibromyalgia patients in a population of rheumatoid arthritis patients. The gold standard used for diagnosis of fibromyalgia was that the treating rheumatologist made a clinical diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Rheumatoid arthritis patients were identified by using a previously validated algorithm (3). 

Algorithm included the following conditions:

Migraine is the most common recurrent headache syndrome in children in which 4-10% of school age children may be affected (1). It is characterized by episodes of headache pain that may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and light and sound sensitivity. Migraine occurs at all ages and may even begin in infancy as represented by intermittent colic (1). The genes for familial hemiplegic migraine have been identified.
