Adalimumab + Methotrexate Effective for Uveitis in JIA
Research has found that taking adalimumab plus methotrexate is effective for patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis. However, these patients may also experience an increased incidence of adverse and serious adverse events compared with those taking only methotrexate…
Tocilizumab Promising for sJIA
In a clinical trial of pediatric patients, tocilizumab proved safe and effective for treating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis…
MicroRNA Mediates Gene Regulation That Underlies JIA Pathology
Through the use of large-scale transcriptome analysis, researchers have gained insight into the role of innate immunity in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) pathology. Specifically, transcriptomes of neutrophils in chronic inflammatory states demonstrate extensive network rewiring caused by microRNA, suggesting a role for alternative splicing in JIA pathogenesis…
The Genetic Factor: Research Examines Genetic Heritability for Pediatric Autoimmune Diseases
Recent research has helped further define genetic heritability for pediatric autoimmune diseases. In an interview, Dr. Hakon Hakanarson discusses how understanding common genetic factors can help develop risk prediction and treatments for such diseases as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, lupus and celiac disease…
Large Group Study of Systemic JIA Patients Provides Insight into Disease Pathology
In a large group genetic analysis, researchers identified an association between the class II HLA region, including HLA-DRB1*11, and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), implicating adaptive immune molecules in sJIA’s pathogenesis and reinforcing its unique genetic position among JIA subtypes…
Ethics Forum: Difficult Parents and Termination of Care in Pediatrics
A pediatric rheumatologist faces continuity of care issues for a patient with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis whose parents are disruptive to the medical practice
ACR Issues sJIA Recommendations, SSc Classification Criteria
Guidelines address advances in pathophysiology and treatment of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis; criteria classify broader spectrum of systemic sclerosis
Aggressive Treatment of Inflammation Prevents Vision Loss in Patients with JIA-related Uveitis
A new study confirms that the use of immunosuppressive drugs is associated with a reduced risk of vision loss in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-related uveitis.
