Ankle arthritis is a useful clinical signpost to differential diagnosis in rheumatic disease. Biomechanical features and differences in cartilage physiology compared with the knee may confer protection of the ankle joint from factors predisposing to certain arthritides. The prevalence of ankle OA is low, and usually secondary to trauma. Primary OA of the ankle should be investigated for underlying causes, especially haemochromatosis. New presentations of inflammatory mono/oligo arthritis involving the ankle are more likely due to undifferentiated arthritis or spondyloarthritis than RA, and gout over CPPD...

OBJECTIVES: Our aim is to understand clinical characteristics, real-life treatment strategies, outcomes of early PsA patients and determine the differences between the inception and established PsA cohorts. METHODS: PsArt-ID (Psoriatic Arthritis- International Database) is a multicentre registry. From that registry, patients with a diagnosis of PsA up to 6 months were classified as the inception cohort (n==388). Two periods were identified for the established cohort: Patients with PsA diagnosis within 5-10 years (n = 328), ≥10 years (n = 326)...

The aim of this guideline is to provide an update on evidence-based recommendations for treatment of adult patients with PsA. The previous BSR guidelines for PsA were published in 2012 and since that time, there have been many new advanced therapies licensed for PsA. This update will provide practical guidance for clinicians on the optimal selection of advanced therapies taking into account different domains of PsA (arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, axial disease and psoriasis) and key associated comorbidities...

OBJECTIVES: Synovitis in symptomatic knee OA (KOA) is common and is associated with joint symptoms. Optimal synovial measurement on MRI is, however, unclear. Our aims were to examine the relationship between MRI measures of synovitis and knee symptoms in symptomatic KOA. METHODS: Data from a randomized, multicentre, placebo-controlled trial (UK-VIDEO) of vitamin-D therapy in symptomatic KOA were utilized. Participants reported knee symptoms using WOMAC at baseline and annually...

BACKGROUND: To assess the reliability of the consensually agreed US definitions of major salivary gland lesions and the US scoring system for salivary gland assessment in patients with SS. METHODS: Nine experienced sonographers scanned and read the US images of both parotid glands (PGs) and submandibular glands (SMGs) in eight patients with primary and secondary SS in two rounds. A consensually agreed four-grade semi-quantitative scoring was applied in B-mode for morphological lesions: grade 0, normal; grade 1, mild inhomogeneity without anechoic or hypoechoic areas; grade 2, moderate inhomogeneity with focal anechoic or hypoechoic areas; grade 3, severe inhomogeneity with diffuse an- or hypoechoic areas occupying the entire gland or fibrous gland...

OBJECTIVE: SLE is an autoimmune disease, mainly affecting women of childbearing age, with possible impact on pregnancy. In this study, we evaluated pregnancy outcomes in all pregnant patients affected by SLE, followed in the context of a rheumatology/gynaecology multi-disciplinary team. METHODS: Since 2008, we evaluated 70 consecutive pregnancies occurring in 50 SLE patients referring to the Lupus Clinic of Sapienza University of Rome; as controls we evaluated 100 consecutive pregnancies in 100 women without autoimmune diseases...

OBJECTIVES: To verify the level of adherence to the influenza vaccination program in a population of patients suffering from RA, PsA or AS undergoing immunosuppressive treatment. METHODS: Administrative databases from the Regional Health Information System of Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG), Italy, were used. Subjects were residents in FVG, suffered from chronic inflammatory arthritis and had at least one prescription for a DMARD in the 9 months before the start of the vaccination season (from 1 October to 31 December)...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of abatacept (ABA) in RA patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) (RA-ILD). METHODS: This was an observational, multicentre study of RA-ILD patients treated with at least one dose of ABA. ILD was diagnosed by high-resolution CT (HRCT). We analysed the following variables at baseline (ABA initiation), 12 months and at the end of the follow-up: Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) scale (1-point change), forced vital capacity (FVC) or diffusion lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (improvement or worsening ≥10%), HRCT, DAS on 28 joints evaluated using the ESR (DAS28ESR) and CS-sparing effect...

OBJECTIVE: The long non-coding RNA plays an important role in inflammation and autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study is to screen and identify abnormally expressed lncRNAs in peripheral blood neutrophils of SLE patients as novel biomarkers and to explore the relationship between lncRNAs levels and clinical features, disease activity and organ damage. METHODS: RNA-seq technology was used to screen differentially expressed lncRNAs in neutrophils from SLE patients and healthy donors...

OBJECTIVES: To characterize the expression profiles of two nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes previously associated with chronic pain, the translocator protein (TSPO) and family with sequence similarity 173B (FAM173B), in different knee compartments from patients with painful knee OA. Also, to examine their association with the joint expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and clinical symptoms. METHODS: The study was performed on 40 knee OA patients and 19 postmortem (PM) controls from which we collected the knee tissues: articular cartilage (AC), synovial membrane (SM) and subchondral bone (SB)...

OBJECTIVE: Whether acid suppressants [proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs)] are associated with bone fractures in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) treated with glucocorticoids remains unclear. This study compared PPIs with H2RAs in terms of the risk of bone fractures in patients with AAV who received in-hospital induction therapy with glucocorticoids. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 149 patients with fractures among 22 821 patients newly diagnosed with AAV in 1730 hospitals using a nationwide inpatient database from July 2010 to March 2018...

OBJECTIVE: A North American registry of JDM patients was examined for frequency of and factors associated with corticosteroid discontinuation, complete clinical response and remission. METHODS: We evaluated probability of achieving final corticosteroid discontinuation, complete clinical response and remission in 307 JDM patients by Weibull time-to-event modelling; conditional probability of complete clinical response and remission using Bayesian network modelling; and significant predictors with multivariable Markov chain Monte-Carlo Weibull extension models...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of a nurse-led program of self-management and self-assessment of disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis. METHODS: Prospective, randomized, controlled, open, 12-month trial (NCT02374749). Participants were consecutive axial spondyloarthritis patients (according to the rheumatologist) and nurses having participated in a 1-day training meeting. The program included self-management: educational video and specific video of graduated, home-based exercises for patients; and self-assessment: video presenting the rationale of tight monitoring of disease activity with composite scores (Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease activity Score, ASDAS/Bath Ankyslosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, BASDAI)...
