The Giant Cell Arteritis (Temporal Arteritis/Cranial Arteritis/Horton Disease) drugs in development market research report provides comprehensive information on the therapeutics under development for ...

Positive findings with color Doppler ultrasound were enough to diagnose giant cell arteritis (GCA) accurately without need for confirmation with temporal artery biopsy (TAB), a prospective study ...

GCA diagnoses made via temporal artery ultrasound were maintained at 1 month and 2 years. Ultrasound may speed up diagnostics and reduce need for biopsy and potential resulting complications.

A pair of giant cell arteritis screening tools have proven to significantly reduce the number of patients undergoing unnecessary temporal artery biopsy (TAB), according to new research from Canadian ...

The additional laboratory, imaging and biopsy criteria set out thresholds for inflammatory markers, as well as the single most highly scoring item: a positive temporal artery biopsy or halo sign ...

Although the temporal artery biopsy showed vasculitis, and giant-cell arteritis is by far the most common form of vasculitis to affect this site, in up to 6% of temporal artery biopsies that ...

Giant cell arteritis (G.C.A.) is an autoimmune disease, and like most such diseases, it is rare. It causes inflammation and pain in the blood vessels of the face and brain.
