Spine School: Axial Manifestations of Psoriatic Arthritis
This EULAR 2022 session emphasized the importance of recognizing the axial manifestations of psoriatic arthritis and treating these symptoms accordingly.
Clinical Guidance & Recommendation Updates for Vasculitis, axSpA & More
In this EULAR 2022 session, new & revised treatment recommendations for ANCA-associated vasculitis, axial spondyloarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis were presented.
Case Report: Abscess as a Manifestation of Autoinflammatory Disease
Abscesses are typically caused by infections, but some are, instead, sterile. Aseptic abscesses (AAs) are characterized by the same neutrophil-rich histoÂpathology as infectious abscesses; however, they don’t improve with antibiotics. Rather, AAs require treatment with anti-inflammatory medications. Although relatively rare, this phenomenon is important for rheumatologists to recognize given its frequent association with underÂlying systemic…
European Medicines Agency Committee Issues Positive Opinion for Secukinumab in Pediatric Arthritic Disease
In the E.U., secukinumab is edging closer to approval for use in pediatric patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), specifically those with enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) and juvenile psoriatic arthritis (PsA). In May, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency issued a positive opinion on expanding its indications.
Data Accumulate to Suggest HLA-B27 Status May Drive Axial Phenotype in SpA
HLA-B27 may be a phenotypic expression of axial spondyloarthritis (SpA), according to a large international study. The study found patients with axial SpA who were positive for HLA-B27 had more severe radiographic damage than those who were negative for HLA-B27, and three quarters of study patients with ankylosis spondyloarthritis were HLA-B27 positive.
Medication Preferences & Current Practices for PsA
With many new agents designed to treat PsA, rheumatologists and patients have options. Schwartzman et al. examined the real-world use of different treatments and ranked patient medication preferences.
Imaging of Axial Psoriatic Arthritis
The axial phenotype of psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) is an excellent example of a major controversy in rheumatology that has become the focus of attention because of the emergence of new therapies with different mechanisms of action for alleviating joint inflammation. It was first described in 1961 but, until recently, it has largely remained under the…
Axial Disease in Psoriatic Arthritis
When Moll and Wright first described the spondyloarthritides in the early 1970s, the archetype of the group was ankylosing spondylitis (AS).1 The shared clinical features of the spondyloarthritides were sacroiliitis; asymmetric large joint peripheral arthritis; psoriasis or psoriaform skin lesions, including keratoderma blennorrhagica; uveitis; and bowel inflammation. Moll and Wright described five clinical subgroups of…
Risk of Adverse Outcomes Due to COVID-19 May Be Lower with TNF Inhibitor Monotherapy
Findings support the continued use of TNF inhibitor monotherapy in individuals with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. In the study, these patients had a lower risk of hospitalization or death caused by COVID-19 than patients on other commonly prescribed treatment regimens
