The association between anti-Ro/SSA antibodies and the appearance of cardiac rhythm disorders in adults is discussed. We aim to study this relationship, together with active treatments and comorbidities, and its impact on daily clinical practice in adults with systemic autoimmune diseases (SADs). This cross-sectional single-center study was conducted in a tertiary hospital between January 2021 and March 2022.

The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to provide a current overview on the diagnostic musculoskeletal manifestations of cGVRD, its clinical evaluation, and therapeutic possibilities.
Methods: We ran a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library.
Rationale: Chronic graft versus host disease (cGVHD) is a systemic immune-mediated complication that occurs in approximately half of patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT), and remains the leading cause of late morbidity and mortality. cGVHD involves a heterogeneous group of organic manifestations, many of which mimic autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma, primary biliary cholangitis, Sjögren syndrome and polymyositis.
Patient Concerns: A 60-years-old female with a history of allo-HCT developed de novo cGVHD 11 months after allo-HCT with isolated liver involvement.
Aims: To describe the methodology of REAPSER (Spanish Registry of Recent-onset Psoriatic Arthritis), its strengths and limitations. The aim of this study is to identify prognostic factors for the clinical and radiographic course in a cohort of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) diagnosed within 2years of symptom evolution.
Methods: Multicenter, observational and prospective study (with 2-year follow-up including annual visits).
SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) syndrome is a cluster of osteo-cutaneous manifestations that can lead to serious complications such as thrombosis of the subclavian vein or superior vena cava, mainly in patients with significant inflammatory involvement of the anterior-chest-wall. The objective of this study was to review the cases published in the medical literature related with the presence of thrombotic complications in patients diagnosed with SAPHO syndrome and to try to determine their possible pathogenic mechanism and risk factors. We analyzed 11 published reports of isolated clinical cases or case series, a total of 144 patients, which described a total of 15 cases of venous thrombosis.
