Background: Hypereosinophilic syndromes (HES) are a heterogenous group of eosinophilic disorders. To date, only retrospective studies of limited sample-size and/or follow-up duration are available.
Methods: The COHESion study is a national prospective multicenter multidisciplinary cohort recruiting both adults or children with the spectrum of eosinophilic disorders (including reactive HE/HES [HE/HES-R], idiopathic HES [HES-I], lymphocytic HES [HES-L], neoplastic HE/HES [HE/HES-N], HE of unknown significance [HE-US], as well as IgG4-related disease [IgG4RD] or ANCA-negative eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis [EGPA] overlaps).
Objective: To assess safety of fertility treatments in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Design: Data from the multicentre French observational GR2 (Groupe de Recherche sur la Grossesse et les Maladies Rares) study (2014-ongoing).
Setting: Seventy-six centres in France.
Objectives: Data about hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) levels during pregnancy are sparse. We assessed HCQ whole blood levels at first trimester of pregnancy as a potential predictor of maternal and obstetric/fetal outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Methods: We included pregnant SLE patients enrolled in the prospective GR2 study receiving HCQ, with at least one available first-trimester whole-blood HCQ assay.
Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study on polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) analyzed data from 196 patients referred to a French study group between 2005 and 2019, highlighting significant changes in the disease's landscape.
- Main symptoms included constitutional, neurological, skin, and musculoskeletal issues, with 28% of cases being secondary PAN due to conditions like myelodysplastic syndrome and cancers; most patients (98.5%) were treated with glucocorticoids.
- The study found high relapse rates associated with older age and specific clinical features, with mortality linked to factors like age, necrotic purpura, kidney injury, and secondary PAN, emphasizing the need for improved patient management.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate and model mouth opening (MO) trajectories in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), as there has been limited research on this topic.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,101 patients, finding that baseline MO was linked to disease severity and lower survival rates, particularly in those with MO less than 30 mm.
- The results indicated that while most patients had stable MO trajectories, a specific group with diffuse cutaneous SSc showed high but declining MO over a year, putting them at greater risk for poor survival and interstitial lung disease.
