Cover image: The image on the cover (from Challita and Azar, pages 1355–1360) shows a radiograph of the hand and wrist indicating narrowing of the distal interphalangeal joints consisting of osteoarthritis changes and a well-defined cystic lesion in the right scaphoid bone.

September 2024: Volume 76, Issue 9

Cover image: The image on the cover (Xu et al, pages 1322–1332) shows expression of matrix metalloproteinase 9 by activated fibroblasts in giant cell arteritis lesions.

Cover image: (Gilvaz et al, pages 753–759) shows pathology results of biopsy samples from the nasopharynx and oropharynx, notable for areas of ulceration, bacterial colonization and hemorrhage with a dense submucosal infiltrate of medium to large size neoplastic lymphoid cells.

May 2024: Volume 76, Issue 5

Cover image: The image on the cover (Riedstra et al, pages 644−651) shows the lateral center edge angle (LCEA) measured on an anteroposterior pelvic radiograph.

Cover image: The image on the cover (from Huang et al, page 328), shows variability in imaging progression in patients with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis–associated lung disease. Baseline chest tomography (CT) for patient 1 (top) demonstrated extensive parenchymal pulmonary opacities with interstitial thickening, with follow-up study showing development of small cysts suggesting fibrosis. Baseline CT for patient 2 (bottom) demonstrated extensive bilateral ground-glass opacities and interlobular septal thickening, and progression of findings including more dependent consolidation on follow-up.

February 2024: Volume 76, Issue 2

Cover image: The image on the cover (from Good et al, page 156) shows Jaccoud arthropathy of the left hand with prominent but reducible boutonniere deformities of the third through fifth digits (A).
