Published: October 2024

Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory rheumatism characterized by common clinical, radiological, and biological manifestations occurring on a predisposing genetic background dominated by the HLA-B27 antigen. Acute anterior uveitis is the most common extra-articular feature of SpA. The objective of this review is to describe the prevalence, demographic characteristics, factors favoring the occurrence of uveitis in patients with SpA, clinical manifestations, and their therapeutic management.

Background: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a novel spinal osteotomy technique, the posterior trans-intervertebral osteotomy with anterior support, in individuals diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. This study utilized computer software to simulate the osteotomy procedure, predict orthopedic outcomes, and assist in preoperative planning.

Methods: Four patients with ankylosing spondylitis underwent posterior trans-intervertebral osteotomy with anterior support that post-operative follow-up of more than 1 year.

Purpose: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis (Pso) are highly heterogeneous inflammatory diseases. Multidisciplinary approaches are associated with improved results in both musculoskeletal (MSK) and skin manifestations. We describe the experience and main diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes of one of the largest and longest-running Rheumatology/Dermatology multidisciplinary PsA Clinic.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate lipopolysaccharid-binding protein (LBP), zonulin and calprotectin as markers of bacterial translocation, disturbed gut barrier and intestinal inflammation in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) during tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) therapy and to analyze the association between disease activity, response to treatment and biomarker levels.

Methods: Patients with active r-axSpA of the German Spondyloarthritis Inception Cohort starting TNFi were compared with controls with chronic back pain. Serum levels of LBP, zonulin and calprotectin were measured at baseline and after 1 year of TNFi therapy.

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of late-onset axial spondyloarthritis (lo-axSpA) and to identify clinical, laboratory, and imaging features associated with this phenotype.

Methods: This single-center, observational study included patients diagnosed with axSpA from the "Reuma-check" SpA program. Patients with a symptom onset ≥ 45 years were classified as lo-axSpA, as opposed to early-onset axSpA (eo-axSpA, onset < 45 years).

Background/aim: We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum antidrug antibodies (ADAbs), systemic hypersensitivity, or local injection site reactions to tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs and to detect the role of skin tests in the diagnosis of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) against anti-TNFs.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-nine ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and 46 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients taking infliximab (IFX), adalimumab (ADA), and etanercept (ETN) were enrolled. The demographical data, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and c-reactive protein (CRP) levels of the patients were determined, and the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) assessment for AS patients and DAS28 (disease activity score) for RA patients were assessed.
