Rheumatology

Summary: Axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) has unique clinical and radiographic features compared to axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). IL-23 inhibitors may be effective in treating axPsA, but further clinical trials are needed. Developing classification criteria and assessment tools for axPsA is also necessary.

Evolution of musculoskeletal symptoms in Long COVID syndrome: a lexical analysis to approach requirements for an interdisciplinary management

Maria Chiara Maccarone, Daniele Coraci, Gianluca Regazzo, Nicola Sarandria, Anna Scanu, Stefano Masiero

Summary: Long COVID syndrome refers to the new, returning, or persistent symptoms after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection. Musculoskeletal symptoms have a significant impact on the quality of life in many patients. A literature review was conducted to explore the evolution of musculoskeletal symptoms in Long COVID syndrome. The findings highlight the need for interdisciplinary management and timely rehabilitative interventions.

BOB-ACG study: Pulse methylprednisolone to prevent bilateral ophthalmologic damage in giant cell arteritis. A multicentre with score

Romain Fore, Eric Liozon, Stephanie Dumonteil, Thomas Sene, Emmanuel Heron, Valentin Lacombe, Mathilde Leclercq, Julie Magnant, Clement Beuvon, Alexis Regent, Donatienne de Mornac, Maxime Samson, Perrine Smets, Jean-Francois Alexandra, Brigitte Granel, Pierre-Yves Robert, Muhammad Faiz Curumthaullee, Simon Parreau, Sylvain Palat, Holy Bezanahary, Kim Heang Ly, Anne-Laure Fauchais, Guillaume Gondran

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether the use of intravenous pulse of methylprednisolone reduces the risk of bilateral visual ischemia in patients with giant cell arteritis. The results showed no significant difference in the incidence of bilateral visual ischemia between the group receiving intravenous pulse of methylprednisolone and the group receiving direct prednisone.

Platelets are a major player and represent a therapeutic opportunity in systemic lupus erythematosus

Marie Robert, Marc Scherlinger

Summary: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation and organ injury, involving the active role of platelets in the pathogenesis and disease progression. Platelets in SLE patients show intrinsic differences and can perpetuate inflammation by interacting with immune cells, thereby participating in organ damage and heightened cardiovascular mortality.

Modern determinants of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with psoriatic arthritis: Relation to disease activity and severity

Svitlana I. Smiyan, Anastasia Bilukha, Bohdan O. Koshak

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of cardiovascular risk factors in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. The results showed a heightened cardiovascular risk in PsA patients, independent of traditional risk factors. Disease activity and duration were identified as significant predictors of cardiovascular risk in PsA patients.

Temperature-Mediated Neural Interventions in Knee Osteoarthritis: a Review of Cryoneurolysis and Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation with Ultrasound Guidance

Christopher M. Tidwell, Paul J. Demarco

Summary: Recent studies have shown that cryoneurolysis and cooled radiofrequency ablation are effective treatments for knee osteoarthritis. Ultrasound-guided neurolysis provides high-accuracy nerve localization in real-time. These therapies should be considered for certain patients to help manage pain in both the non-operative and post-operative phases of knee osteoarthritis management.

Do Dynamic Plantar Pressures Differ Based on Sonographic Evidence of Metatarsophalangeal Joint Synovitis in People With Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Libby Anderson, Belinda Ihaka, Catherine Bowen, Charlotte Dando, Sarah Stewart

Summary: This study found that RA patients with moderate to severe synovitis in the first MTPJ had lower pressure time integrals at the hallux, while those with moderate to severe synovitis in the second and fourth MTPJs had reduced peak pressure and pressure time integrals at the lesser toes.

Unilateral gluteal myositis as a unique presentation in mesenteric Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease

Kazuhisa Watanabe, Masaki Yamamoto, Tadashi Matsubayashi

Summary: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a self-limiting disease characterized by fever and cervical lymphadenopathy. This article reports a rare case in which a patient with KFD developed muscle involvement and underwent mesenteric lymph node biopsy for diagnosis. The patient's body temperature gradually returned to normal and the muscle lesion resolved, indicating possible extranodal involvement.

Summary: The study found that 10% of patients in the SSc cohort met the 2019 EULAR/ACR SLE classification criteria, exhibiting distinct demographic, serologic, and clinical characteristics, but similar severe SSc-specific end-organ damage and mortality as those with SSc alone. Patients with SLE should be screened for SSc-specific autoantibodies and organ involvement.
