A French cohort of patients with giant cell arteritis: glucocorticoid treatment and its associated side effects.

Objectives: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common primary large-vessel vasculitis. Glucocorticoids (GC) therapy remains the standard of care for GCA despite frequent side effects (SEs). However, treatment modality changes, prophylactic treatment of osteoporosis, or vaccinations might have decreased the frequency of GC-related SEs.

Intrathecal antibody kinetics in neuroborreliosis: A report on three cases and a literature review.

Borreliosis is a common affliction in northern countries and its neurological manifestations often mislead trained clinicians. We present three cases of Lyme neuroborreliosis, with intrathecal synthesis of specific antibodies, lymphocytic meningitis and magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Our description aims at illustrating the natural history of the infection, highlighting persistent intrathecal synthesis of anti-Borrelia antibodies months after treatment completion, and its clinical significance.

Remission and low disease activity in psoriatic arthritis publications: a systematic literature review with meta-analysis.

Objectives: Remission (REM) or low disease activity (LDA) is the treatment target in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The objective of this study was to assess the reporting and prevalence of REM/LDA in published studies of PsA.

Methods: This was a systematic literature review of all clinical papers published in PubMed, EMBASE or Cochrane database in English between 2012 and 2019 in the field of PsA.
