The authors report a case of mobile and painful nodules on the bilateral plantar surface of a female patient referred by the rheumatology service, where she was being followed-up for rheumatoid arthritis. A nodule excision was performed for differential diagnosis and symptom relief; the histopathological analysis was compatible with a rheumatoid nodule. Although rheumatoid nodules are a common manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, exclusive plantar involvement is seldom described in the literature.

Association of radiation-induced normal tissue toxicity with a high genetic risk for rheumatoid arthritis.
J Natl Cancer Inst

Translational Radiobiology Group, Division of Cancer Sciences, University of Manchester, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, United Kingdom.
Purpose: Overlapping genes are involved with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and DNA repair pathways. Therefore, we hypothesised that patients with a high polygenic risk score (PRS) for RA will have an increased risk of radiotherapy (RT) toxicity given the involvement of DNA repair.
Methods: Primary analysis was performed on 1494 prostate cancer, 483 lung cancer and 1820 breast cancer patients assessed for development of RT toxicity in the REQUITE study.

Infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Among these, musculoskeletal infections represent a relevant proportion as patients with rheumatoid arthritis face an increased risk of developing septic arthritis and prosthesis infections. The causes are multifactorial.

Background: Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are a group of chronic conditions characterized by dysregulated immune responses and persistent inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), and ulcerative colitis (UC) exemplify prominent IMIDs, each presenting unique challenges for their management, that impact patient's quality of life (QoL). Obesity, marked by persistent low-grade inflammation, influences the progression, response to treatment, and clinical management of patients with RA, SpA, and UC.

Background/objectives: Sarcopenia associates with poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to determine prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The HRQoL between RA patients with and without sarcopenia also was compared.

J Clin Rheumatol
January 2025
From the Research Unit, Colegio Mexicano de Reumatología, Mexico City.
Objective: Being Mexico a very diverse developing country, the access to health care varies among geographical regions. We aimed to assess the differences in clinical features and treatment prescription in 3 regions of Mexico using data from the Mexican Adverse Events Registry (BIOBADAMEX).
Methods: We included all BIOBADAMEX patients from 2016 to 2023, compared the prescription patterns, the sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics between the northern (NR), central (CR), and southern regions (SR), and addressed the treatment survival by calculating hazards ratios (HRs).
