The Cutaneous Pathology of Erythromelalgia and Its Role in Establishing Critical Clues Regarding Pathogenesis.
Am J Dermatopathol

Department of Dermatology, Brown University, Providence, RI.
Erythromelalgia, a rare cutaneous pain syndrome, is characterized by acral burning pain and flushing, often alleviated by cold and rest. Primary erythromelalgia is caused by gain-of-function mutations of genes encoding for sodium channels, resulting in hyperexcitability of pain signaling neurons. Autoimmunity and hematologic dyscrasias such as thrombocythemia have been implicated in secondary erythromelalgia.

Psoriatic arthritis is a very pleomorphic inflammatory disease characterised by its association with psoriasis and the development of a wide spectrum of comorbidities that can impact patients' prognosis and quality of life.In recent years, several new drugs have been developed, showing significant efficacy in alleviating symptoms and signs, while maintaining a generally favourable safety profile. Despite these advancements, the management of PsA remains potentially suboptimal.

Department of Research, Nord-Trøndelag Hospital Trust, Levanger, Norway.
Objectives: More knowledge about health related quality of life (HRQoL) among mothers with inflammatory joint disease (IJD) is needed to understand the complex challenges for this group of patients. The overall aim of this study was to investigate changes in HRQoL among mothers with IJD from year 2000 to year 2020.
Methods: This study had a comparative cross-sectional design with two study groups 20 years apart, year 2000 ( = 77) and year 2020 ( = 197).
Long-Term Safety of Ixekizumab Treatment in Patients with Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, or Axial Spondyloarthritis: a Post Hoc Analysis of Cerebro-Cardiovascular Events.

Introduction: Psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) may confer an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease, including major adverse cerebro-cardiovascular events (MACE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients with these conditions are often exposed for extended time periods to biologics, such as ixekizumab (IXE). Therefore, understanding the risk of CV events, especially MACE, in patients with PsO, PsA, and axSpA exposed to IXE is important.

Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, has emerged as a primary therapeutic agent for managing autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, dermatitis and ulcerative colitis. By inhibiting the phosphorylation of JAK enzymes, tofacitinib prevents their activation within the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which is vital for inflammatory responses. However, the tofacitinib delivery presents significant challenges, including pH-dependent solubility, poor permeability and susceptibility to oral degradation.
