Objectives: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a diverse group of muscle diseases often complicated by interstitial lung disease (ILD), which significantly impacts morbidity and mortality. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (sKL-6) has been proposed as a biomarker for ILD severity. Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) detects microvascular changes, but its diagnostic and prognostic value in IIM remains unclear.

- Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a complex disease with various symptoms and severity levels, and the study aimed to evaluate its different clinical subsets to improve treatment strategies and reduce complications.
- The study categorized GCA into three phenotypes: cranial, extracranial, and occult, analyzing their association with severe complications and survival rates over time.
- Results indicated that cranial GCA had more severe ischemic complications and visual disturbances, while the occult subset showed potential for higher mortality, highlighting the need for targeted treatment approaches based on these clinical patterns.
: Cryoglobulinemia (CG) is marked by abnormal immunoglobulins (Ig) in serum, precipitating at temperatures below 37 °C. Current classification categorizes CG into three subtypes (types I, II, and III) based on Ig clonality. The features distinguishing patients with CG based on their etiology remain unidentified.

- Some studies suggest that relying only on clinical values to assess remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can overlook subclinical inflammation, prompting the need for imaging tools like ultrasound (US) to improve therapy decisions.
- A multicenter study was conducted with RA patients fulfilling specific criteria to compare treatment outcomes based on clinical evaluation versus ultrasound findings, with follow-ups at 12, 18, and 24 months.
- Results indicated that while both groups experienced disease exacerbations, most complications occurred in the clinical group, highlighting the potential benefit of integrating ultrasound assessments into treatment optimization for RA patients.
This randomized clinical trial evaluated the effectiveness of short, digital interventions in improving physical activity and pain for individuals with knee osteoarthritis. We compared a digital mindset intervention, focusing on adaptive mindsets (e.g.
