Juvenile ankylosing spondylitis (JAS) is a rare form of the disease which differs from the more common adult form. [13] Enthesophathy and arthritis of large joints of the lower extremities is more common than the characteristic early-morning back pain seen in adult AS. [ 13 ]
The programs comprising Skin Biology and Diseases support a broad portfolio of basic, translational, and clinical research in skin. These efforts include work on the developmental and molecular biology of skin and skin appendages (such as the hair follicle), the study of skin as an immune organ, and the genetics of skin diseases.
Juvenile, in this context, refers to disease onset before 16 years of age, while idiopathic refers to a condition with no defined cause, and arthritis is inflammation within the joint. [ 4 ] JIA is an autoimmune, noninfective, inflammatory joint disease, the cause of which remains poorly understood.

Dagger sign is a radiologic sign seen in advanced cases of ankylosing spondylitis. [1] The appearance of a dagger is seen in the X-ray because of ossification of the supraspinous and infraspinous ligaments. [2] As a result, a central dense line of sclerosis, resembling a dagger can be seen in the AP radiograph of spine and pelvis. [3]
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can become involved. It causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a genetic disease with identifiable marks, tends to start showing signs in adolescence or young adulthood, is more likely to affect the lumbar spine, and affects organs. DISH has no indication of a genetic link, is primarily thoracic and does not affect organs other than the lungs, and only indirectly due to the fusion ...
