Since the mid 1980s, a global decrease in surgical procedures related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been documented for joint-preserving procedures such as synovectomy as well as joint replacement surgery. This reflects improvements in the early management of rheumatoid arthritis and availability of more effective medical treatment. The present review summarizes the recent literature on the frequency of orthopaedic surgery in RA patients as well as the role of synovectomy in the rheumatoid hip, knee and shoulder in times of biological RA therapy.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent inflammation of the synovial joints, leading to cartilage and bone destruction. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential biomarkers for RA. The study was conducted on 60 patients with RA disease along with 20 control participants.

Synovial hyperplasia, inflammation and immune cell infiltration are the central pathological basis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Nonetheless, the cellular, molecular and immunological mechanisms of RA remain poorly understood. An integrated analysis of single-cell RNA (scRNA) and bulk RNA sequencing datasets aimed to unravel the cellular landscape, differentiation trajectory, transcriptome signature, and immunoinfiltration feature of RA synovium.

Introduction: Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as a promising treatment for hematological malignancies. However, its association with immune-related complications such as rheumatic complications, is not well defined.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study to analyze rheumatic complications in 310 patients treated with CAR-T therapy at a single center from January 2020 to May 2024.

Objective: To systematically review operational definitions of old(er) age in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and investigate differences in disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) efficacy, safety and drug survival between young(er) and old(er) patients.
Methods: A systematic review was performed on studies conducting research in an old(er) RA patient population. Two reviewers independently performed data extraction and risk of bias assessment.
