A 64-year-old man participated in a 13.1-mile half marathon in San Diego, CA on April 23, 2023. The ambient temperature when he started the race was 54°F, which increased to 64°F on his completing the race 3 hours and 58 minutes later. Both of his hands and their digits started swelling after the first hour of running. They progressively became larger during the remainder of the race; a positive fist sign developed and the patient could not close his hands into a fist (Figure 1). Neither pruritus, swelling at any other site, nor angioedema was reported.

Diagnosis is based on a fever lasting over five days plus at least four of these symptoms. Treatment includes intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin to reduce complications, especially coronary artery issues.

Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition, and this study focuses on assessing subclinical PD synovitis and joint inflammation using thermography in RA patients.
- The study analyzed 80 RA patients, examining the occurrence of PD synovitis and inflammatory responses in various joints, notably the wrists and metacarpophalangeal joints.
- Findings indicate that thermographic temperatures were significantly higher in patients with greater disease activity, showcasing thermography's potential as a tool for monitoring and assessing RA severity through subclinical inflammation.

Background: The Psoriatic Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring System (PsAMRIS) and MRI Whole-Body Scoring System for Inflammation in Peripheral Joints and Entheses in Inflammatory Arthritis (MRI-WIPE) have not been used together to assess treatment of psoriatic arthritis in a clinical trial. We aimed to assess the effect of apremilast treatment on inflammation, with outcomes measured by PsAMRIS and MRI-WIPE.
Methods: MOSAIC was a phase 4, multicentre, single-arm, open-label study conducted at 29 sites across ten countries (Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA).

A paradoxical reaction (PR) during the treatment of tuberculosis was defined as the worsening of preexisting disease either clinically or radiologically or the appearance of a new tuberculous lesion. These reactions are frequently observed in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) upon the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Herein, we present a unique case of a paradoxical reaction in a previously healthy 19-year-old female who started anti-tuberculosis treatment for disseminated tuberculosis.
