Plasma aldosterone concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay and metabolic clearance rates (M.C.R.) were determined by a continuous infusion of H3-aldosterone on day 20 and 50 and at 3, 6 and 24 months in the male and the female guinea-pig. Plasma aldosterone concentration rose gradually from day 20 up to 24 months. At every stage the values were always higher in the female than in the male. M.C.R. (1/24 h/100 g) decreased from day 20 to 24 months and appeared to be sex-dependent in the guinea-pig.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to study the therapeutic maintenance of tumour necrosis factor α inhibitors (TNFα-I) for spondyloarthritis patients enrolled in the Moroccan biotherapy registry and to analyse the reason and the predictive factors of stopping TNFα-I.
Methods: Data were collected from a historical-prospective multicentre registry of adult patients with spondyloarthritis, treated with biological treatment, in the 10 rheumatology departments in Morocco. Maintenance was defined as the interval between the introduction and the suspension of the same TNFα-I.
