Pregnant versus non-pregnant healthy subjects - a prospective longitudinal musculoskeletal ultrasound study concerning the spectrum of normality.

CONCLUSION: MSUS inflammation-like abnormalities can be detected in healthy subjects and pregnancy may modify baseline findings. The identification of a joint/tendon set with less abnormalities (hand flexor tendons F1-F5, MCPj 2-5 and EUC) in healthy subjects would help in selecting target structures, important for identifying the disease onset and for further monitoring.
