Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of JAK inhibitors (JAKi) in patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2TRA) in clinical practice.
Methods: We included RA patients initiating a JAKi between 2018 and 2022. Patients meeting EULAR criteria for D2TRA were compared to active non-D2TRA patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases and healthy individuals.
- Researchers screened unvaccinated patients with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, and psoriatic arthritis in France, and matched them with seropositive healthcare workers as controls.
- Results showed no significant difference in antibody levels between both groups, with a trend indicating that patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms had higher antibody titres; treatments like glucocorticoids seemed linked to lower antibody responses.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore the dietary practices and beliefs of patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, focusing on how these factors affect their symptoms.
- It involved a survey of 392 patients, revealing that 26% had tried exclusion diets, with only 5% adhering to the Mediterranean diet, while many reported dietary changes could reduce their pain.
- Results indicate that health beliefs and the lack of dietary guidance from healthcare providers play significant roles in patients' dietary choices and perceptions of their diets' effects on pain.
The progress observed over the last 30 years in the field of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) has not made it possible to answer all the current questions. This manuscript represents the proceedings of the meeting of the French spondyloArthitiS Task force (FAST) in Besançon on September 28 and 29, 2023. Different points of discussion were thus individualized as unmet needs: biomarkers for early diagnosis and disease activity, a common electronic file dedicated to SpA nationwide, a better comprehension of dysbiosis in the disease, a check-list for addressing to the rheumatologist, adapt patient reported outcomes thresholds for female gender, implementation of comorbidities screening programs, new imaging tools, in research cellular and multi omics approaches, grouping, at a nationwide level, different cohorts and registries, therapeutic strategy studies, consensual definition of difficult to treat disease and management, preclinical stage of the disease, mastering AI as a tool in the various aspects of research.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBone disorders may affect the skeleton in different ways, some bones being very impaired and others less severely. In translational studies using murine models of human skeletal diseases, the bone phenotype is mainly evaluated at the distal femur or proximal tibia. The sacroiliac joint (SIJ), which connects the spine to the pelvis, is involved in the balanced transfer of mechanical energy from the lumbar spine to the lower extremities.
