Noninfectious arthritis (NIA) comprises a class of chronic and progressive inflammatory disorders that require early-stage management to prevent disease progression. The most common forms include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and gouty arthritis. Current treatments involve nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and glucocorticoids to alleviate clinical symptoms, although regular use of these can result in a high risk of chronic kidney disease and heart failure, as well as severe adverse gastrointestinal effects. Nanomedicine offers unique opportunities to address these challenges and improve therapeutic efficacy due to its ability to deliver therapeutics locally in a sustained manner, thus extending the half-life, improving bioavailability, and reducing the side effects of these agents. This review includes a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms of various treatment options for NIA and highlights recent progress and emerging strategies in treating NIA with nanomedicine platforms, particularly related to long-term biosafety and nonspecific targeting in designing nanomedicine delivery systems.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic autoimmune disease. Many studies have shown that microorganisms may be an important pathological factor leading to the onset of RA. Some infectious or non-infectious pathogenic microorganisms and their metabolites may be the initiating factors of the early onset of RA.

Native joint septic arthritis (NJSA) of the hand is poorly studied. Management guidelines are extrapolated from large joint infections despite differences in epidemiology, anatomy and aetiology. Limited evidence suggests shorter courses of antibiotics can achieve outcomes comparable to longer courses.

Antibiotics, widely used medications that have significantly increased life expectancy, possess a broad range of effects beyond their primary antibacterial activity. While some are recognized as adverse events, others have demonstrated unexpected benefits. These adjunctive effects, which have been defined as "pleiotropic" in the case of other pharmacological classes, include immunomodulatory properties and the modulation of the microbiota.

Background: Autoimmune disorders have primary manifestations such as joint pain and bowel inflammation but can also have secondary manifestations such as non-infectious uveitis (NIU). A regulatory health authority raised concerns after receiving spontaneous reports for NIU following exposure to Remicade, a biologic therapy with multiple indications for which alternative therapies are available. In assessment of this clinical question, we applied validity diagnostics to support observational data causal inferences.

To find a distinct non-coding RNA characteristic for idiopathic uveitis in the pediatric population. To explore the autoimmune-related miRNA expression profile in pediatric patients with idiopathic uveitis (IU) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIA-AU) and find a common molecular background for idiopathic uveitis and other autoimmune diseases. The expression levels of miRNAs were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR using serum samples from patients with idiopathic uveitis (n = 8), juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (n = 7), and healthy controls.
