Article Synopsis
- A study compared the effectiveness and safety of infliximab and cyclophosphamide as induction therapies for severe Behçet's syndrome involving major vascular or CNS issues.
- Infliximab showed a higher complete response rate (81%) compared to cyclophosphamide (56%), indicating it may be more effective.
- Additionally, infliximab had fewer adverse events (29.6%) compared to cyclophosphamide (64%), suggesting it may also be safer for patients.
Aims: To compare the safety and efficacy of methotrexate (MTX), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and azathioprine (AZA) in non-anterior sarcoidosis-associated uveitis.
Methods: Retrospective study including non-anterior sarcoidosis-associated uveitis according to the revised International Workshop on Ocular Sarcoidosis criteria. The primary outcome was defined as the median time to relapse or occurrence of serious adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation.
Background: The definition of Takayasu arteritis (TAK) remission and disease activity is still unclear. Vascular imaging is an essential tool for following-up patients. Herein, we aimed to compare the evolution of vascular lesions (ie vessel wall thickening and stenosis) under conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (cDMARDs) relatively to biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) in TAK patients followed with the same CT angiography modalities.

- The study investigates the differences between cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation (CAA-RI) and biopsy-positive primary angiitis of the CNS (BP-PACNS), focusing on their clinical and radiologic presentations as well as relapse rates.
- It included 104 patients with CAA-RI and 52 with BP-PACNS, revealing that CAA-RI tends to show more white matter lesions and hemorrhagic features, while BP-PACNS is associated more with headaches and motor deficits.
- The results indicate significant differences in features between the two conditions, suggesting that they may require different diagnostic approaches and could have varying outcomes in terms of recurrence.
