Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed patients with sarcoidosis who exhibited joint involvement, detailing 39 cases of sarcoid arthropathy, with 19 categorized as acute (Lofgren's syndrome) and the rest as chronic, highlighting no significant differences in overall joint involvement between the two groups.
- - Acute sarcoidosis presented more symmetrical joint involvement (100% vs. 70%) and involved wrists and ankles more frequently than chronic sarcoidosis, while skin lesions mainly appeared in acute forms, specifically as erythema nodosum.
- - Treatment for chronic sarcoidosis often included NSAIDs, steroids, hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and TNF inhibitors, with a 70% response rate noted
Objective: Patient-physician discordance in global assessment of disease activity concerns one-third of patients, but what does it reflect? We aimed to assess patient-physician discordance in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and patient-reported domains of health (physical and psychological) associated with discordance.
Methods: We analyzed the PsAID (Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease), a cross-sectional, multicenter European study of patients with PsA according to expert opinion. Patient global assessment (PGA) and physician global assessment (PhGA) were rated on a 0-10 numeric rating scale.
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) reflect the patient's perspective and are used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) routine clinical practice. Patient global assessment (PGA) is one of the most widely used PROs in RA practice and research and is included in several composite scores such as the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). PGA is often assessed by a single question with a 0-10 or 0-100 response.

The aim of this study was to assess in the published literature the frequency and drivers of patient-physician discordance in global assessment in RA.
Methods: A systematic literature review of all articles published up to January 2015 in Medline or Embase, reporting discordance in RA, was conducted by 2 investigators.
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most frequent complications occurring after thoracic surgery especially after lung resection. It is associated with an increase in postoperative morbidity and mortality. Recent data having documented the preventive role of corticosteroids on the occurrence of AF in cardiac surgery, we sought to evaluate the effect of preoperative administration of dexamethasone on the incidence of AF after pneumonectomy.

Methods: DESIR (Devenir des Spondyloarthropathies Indifférenciées Récentes) is a French, multicentre, longitudinal cohort of patients with early inflammatory back pain suggestive of axSpA. Patient global assessment (PGA) and physician global assessment (PhGA) were rated with a 0-10 numerical rating scale, every 6 months during 2 years then at 3 years.
