Article Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is characterized by an autosomal inheritance pattern, Mediterranean ancestry, and history of recurrent fever. We present a 30-year-old Turkish man with FMF and accompanying seronegative spondyloarthropathy. His diagnose depended on the clinical course of his disease: recurrent fever accompanied by abdominal pain attacks together with a positive family history and his ethnic origin and sacroiliitis. We review the common manifestations of FMF and remind physicians that sacroiliac joint involvement must be kept in mind in presence of articular symptoms in a FMF patient.

Outcomes of Total Hip Arthroplasty in Seronegative Spondyloarthropathies: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Analysis.
J Arthroplasty

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, MetroHealth Medical Center, Cleveland, Ohio.
Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgical intervention for patients who have seronegative spondyloarthropathies (SpA). However, there is a paucity of literature addressing the outcomes of THA specifically in SpA patients. This study aimed to investigate both the short-term and long-term systemic and orthopaedic outcomes of THA in SpA patients as a whole, as well as within the individual subtypes of SpA.

Article Synopsis
- Selenoprotein P (SELENOP) and glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) are vital for selenium transport and antioxidant activity in blood, with a focus on their roles in inflammatory rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
- A study involving 272 patients found that both SELENOP and selenium levels were lower in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases compared to healthy controls, with particularly low GPx3 activity in JIA and PsA groups.
- The findings suggest that selenoprotein deficiencies may contribute to disease severity, emphasizing the potential for personalized selenium supplementation to enhance selenoprotein production and improve
Differential immunological profiles in seronegative versus seropositive rheumatoid arthritis: Th17/Treg dysregulation and IL-4.

Department of Rheumatology, Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan, Shanxi, China.
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with various subtypes. Among these, seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SnRA), distinguished by its distinctive seronegative antibody phenotype, presents clinical diagnosis and treatment challenges. This study aims to juxtapose the immunological features of SnRA with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (SpRA) to investigate potential mechanisms contributing to differences in antibody production.

Objective: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is known as a seronegative form of spondylarthropathy. The interleukin-36 cytokine family may have a major role in disease pathogenesis and particularly the related cutaneous manifestations. In light of our recent observations on (transient) autoantibody phenotypes neutralizing endogenous anti-inflammatory receptor antagonists (progranulin, IL-1Ra) in different inflammatory conditions, we set out to investigate the potential role of such antibodies targeting IL-36 cytokine family members in PsA and psoriasis without arthritic manifestations (Pso).
