Objective: To evaluate the cardiac involvement in patients with Still's disease with a focus on myocarditis included in the multicenter AIDA (AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance) network Still's disease registry. To exploit the predictive factors for myocarditis in deriving a clinical risk patient profile for this severe manifestation.

Methods: A multicenter observational study was built up assessing consecutive patients with Still's disease characterized by the cardiac involvement among those included in the AIDA Network Still's Disease Registry.

Vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic (VEXAS) is a haemato-inflammatory syndrome genetically defined by somatic mutations in the X-linked UBA1 gene, typically Val/Thr/Leu substitutions at the Met41 hotspot. Clinical manifestations are heterogeneous and refractory to most haemato-rheumatological treatments. To date, no guidelines exist for the management of VEXAS, and scarce is the evidence on methodology and clinical significance of longitudinal UBA1 clonal burden evaluation upon therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored the link between exposure to particulate matter (PM) and the risk of developing giant cell arteritis (GCA) in patients from three hospitals in northern Italy.
  • - It included 232 patients, revealing a 27.1% increased risk of GCA for every 10-μg/m increase in PM concentration over a 60-day period, particularly affecting older individuals (≥70 years).
  • - The findings suggest that prolonged exposure to high levels of PM correlates with a higher likelihood of GCA onset, pointing to a need for awareness of air pollution's health impacts.

Objective: The efficacy of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been clearly shown. However, information on comparative drug retention rates (DRRs) of different JAKi is heterogeneous. The aim of this study was to compute and compare DRRs of different JAKi in a large cohort of RA patients.
