Titration with cultured severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 yielded a human observable threshold between 1.6 × 104-4.3 × 104 viral RNA copies (cycle threshold [Ct], 30.3-28.8). Among 878 subjects tested, 3% (26 of 878) were positive by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, of whom 15 of 26 had a Ct less then 30, indicating high viral load; of these, 40% (6 of 15) were asymptomatic. Using this Ct threshold ( less then 30) for Binax-CoV2 evaluation, the sensitivity of Binax-CoV2 was 93.3% (95% confidence interval, 68.1%-99.8%) (14 of 15) and the specificity was 99.9% (99.4%-99.9%) (855 of 856). PsA is characterized by enthesitis, synovitis and osseous involvement in the peripheral and axial joints. Few studies have examined axial involvement in PsA using imaging techniques. Here we examined axial involvement in PsA patients using MRI. In addition, we determined the efficacy of 24 week adalimumab treatment in improving the MRI findings of spondylitis and sacroiliitis. This was a prospective, open-label, single-arm study in patients with PsA. Adalimumab was administered to patients for a total of 24 weeks. MRI examinations were conducted at baseline and at week 24 of adalimumab treatment. Thirty-seven patients with PsA were included in this study. Spondylitis was observed in at least one site of the positive scan in 91% (n = 31) of patients with PsA. The number of arthritic sites in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine was 48, 67 and 53, respectively. All patients had MRI-determined sacroiliitis of grade ≥1 severity while 28 patients (82%) had grade ≥2 sacroiliitis in at least one sacroiliac region. Sacroiliac arthritis was statistically more seve
