Walter Bauer was instrumental in the development of rheumatology as a medical subspecialty, promoting careful clinical observation and description and bringing basic scientists and clinicians together to study the "anatomy, chemical composition, and metabolism of connective tissue" in the laboratory. Marian Wilkins Ropes was a pioneering woman in medicine: the first female medical resident at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the first woman appointed as an assistant professor of clinical medicine at Harvard Medical School, the first woman elected to membership in the American Society of Clinical Investigation, and the first woman elected president of the American Rheumatism Association...

Carl M. Pearson was an energetic and exceptional physician-scholar-leader who founded, established, and broadened the Divisions of Rheumatology at University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) beginning in 1956. His studies to induce myositis by injecting muscle saturated with the heat-killed tubercle bacillus, an emulsifier, and mineral oil (Freund's adjuvant) enabled his report that polyarthritis occurred with Freund's adjuvant alone in certain strains of rat and mice. This model of adjuvant arthritis allowed the next generation of studies to assess therapies for autoimmune diseases...

Daniel J Wallace
In the year 1950, Edmund Dubois was asked to evaluate eight patients who had positive results from a new blood test known as the LE cell prep. This was the springboard for him to launch a career that elucidated new and unique insights into the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, laboratory testing, and treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus. Between 1950 and 1985, he treated more than 2000 patients with the disorder and wrote the principal textbook on the subject.

There is no doubt that Dr Daniel J McCarty warrants inclusion among the giants of rheumatology. He has made major contributions to both clinical and scientific knowledge in our field, and his impact has been long-lasting and paradigm shifting. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in crystal arthritis, but as an astute clinician, he is also responsible for describing several other novel rheumatic conditions and developing innovative treatment protocols.

Dr Schumacher was a force in rheumatology for more than half a century through his multiple roles as a researcher, clinician, mentor, and educator. He is not likely to be soon forgotten by the rheumatology community; however, it is hoped that this chapter can provide a faithful recollection that will help bring his memory to life for some and that rings true to those who knew him and learned from him.

Naomi Rothfield was truly a pied piper of lupus. She had an abiding interest in the characterization and clinical significance of antinuclear antibodies and anti-DNA antibodies in the serum of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. She described the use of serum complement in SLE diagnosis and the association of inherited complement deficiencies with SLE. Under her leadership, numerous professionals focused their clinical and research activities to benefit lupus patients. Naomi was also instrumental in establishing a lupus group to assist lupus patients, which became one of the founding chapters of the Lupus Foundation of America...

REVIEW
Smriti Mohan
Increasing molecular knowledge of autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders has enabled more targeted treatment of these conditions. Treatment of inflammasomopathies is often aimed at interleukin-1 (IL-1) blockade, with potential use of other inhibitors targeting cytokines such as IL-18 and IL-6. Interferonopathies and some disorders with overlap features of autoimmunity and autoinflammation may improve with Janus kinase inhibition. Autoimmune conditions may also respond to inhibition of different cytokines, as well as to inhibition of T and B lymphocytes...

REVIEW
Grant S Schulert, Christoph Kessel
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a rare childhood chronic inflammatory disorder with risk for life-threatening complications including macrophage activation syndrome and lung disease. At onset, sJIA pathogenesis resembles that of the autoinflammatory periodic fever syndromes with marked innate immune activation, expansion of neutrophils and monocytes, and high levels of interleukin-18. Here, we review the current conceptual understanding of sJIA pathogenesis with a focus on both innate and adaptive immune pathways...
