Faculty of Medicine, Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey.
Objectives: To determine the features of rheumatoid pulmonary nodules and the factors associated with nodule progression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods: Between January 2010 and September 2018, RA patients with at least one chest computed tomography (CT) were included. Two experienced radiologists examined chest CTs.

Introduction And Aims: Epidemiological observational studies have explored the link between bone joint-related diseases and temporomandibular disorders (TMD), but inconsistent conclusions have emerged due to various limitations. This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between bone joint-related diseases and TMD using Mendelian randomization (MR).
Methods: We utilized a two-sample MR design, applying pooled genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from six subtypes of bone and joint diseases and TMD.

Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines and possesses both pro- and anti-inflammatory properties. IL-11 activates its target cells via binding to a membrane-bound IL-11R and subsequent formation of a homodimer of the signal-transducing receptor gp130. Thus, the expression pattern of the IL-11R determines which cells can be activated by IL-11.

Rheumatology Unit, Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy.
This pilot study investigates distinctive features within the nail-enthesis complex among Psoriatic arthritis (PsA), Psoriasis (PSO), Rheumatoid Arthrit is (RA), and Healthy Control (HC) groups, utilizing a combined approach of ultrasound (US) and nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC). Clinical assessments and comprehensive US and NVC evaluations of the nail-enthesis complex were conducted on 72 subjects (18 PsA, 16 PSO, 19 RA, 19 HC). Unsupervised clustering models and factor analysis were employed to identify patterns and interrelationships between US and NVC parameters.

Introduction: Periodontitis is associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One hypothesis posits that this connection arises from the formation of autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPA) in inflamed gums, possibly triggered by . We previously demonstrated an increased antibody response to arginine gingipains (anti-Rgp IgG), not only in individuals with severe periodontitis compared to controls, but in RA versus controls, with an association to ACPA.
