The Role of Myositis-Specific Autoantibodies and the Management of Interstitial Lung Disease in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: A Systematic Review.

Objective: To evaluate the role of myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) in interstitial lung disease (ILD), management of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) associated ILD, and if there is a role for MSA specific management of ILD.

Methods: A systematic review was performed examining how MSAs relate to ILD manifestations in IIM patients and comparing treatment outcomes with varying immunosuppressive regimens.

Results: 112 papers were included in this analysis.

Patellar Resurfacing in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: The management of the patella during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the evidence regarding the use of patellar resurfacing in TKA.

Methods: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed to compare outcomes between knees receiving patellar resurfacing vs those not receiving resurfacing during primary TKA.
