Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 216 patients with RA prescribed their first tsDMARDs at two hospitals between 2013 and 2022. Dose reduction and contraindication guidelines for tsDMARDs according to kidney function were followed.

Background/objectives: Janus kinase inhibitors open new horizons for small-molecule drugs in treating inflammatory bowel disease, with ritlecitinib demonstrating significant efficacy in clinical trials for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Ritlecitinib, a second-generation JAK3 inhibitor, is a novel therapeutic agent for alopecia areata and other autoimmune conditions.
Methods: A new stability-indicating UHPLC-DAD-MS/MS method was developed, validated, and applied for a forced degradation study of ritlecitinib under ICH guidelines.

Etrasimod is a synthetic, non-biological, orally administered small molecule sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1PR) modulator. Etrasimod was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2023 and by the European Medicine Agency in 2024, constituting a new therapeutic option for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in patients 16 years of age and older in the European Union. Its efficacy and tolerability have been demonstrated in several clinical trials both as induction and maintenance treatment, as well as in long-term extension studies.

Background: Inflammatory dermatological conditions, including psoriasis, lichen planus, eczema, and alopecia areata, are frequently accompanied by nail findings and can have a significant impact on quality of life. Biologic and small-molecule medications have been approved over the past several decades in treating patients with these inflammatory nail disorders. They may be used in conjunction with longstanding mainstays of treatment (topical and intralesional corticosteroids, topical vitamin D3 analogs).
