High-pressure injection injuries, although rare, are commonly discussed orthopaedic surgical emergencies. In many cases, high-pressure injection injuries can have detrimental effects on the patient. However, there are rare instances where surgical intervention may be more harmful than helpful.

Article Synopsis
  • A Phase III study tested the efficacy of subcutaneous versus intravenous amivantamab for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had progression after prior treatments.
  • Results showed that the subcutaneous form maintained efficacy, with fewer side effects and a significantly longer overall survival, while also being more convenient to administer.
  • Patients receiving subcutaneous amivantamab had less infusion-related reactions and faster administration times, with 85% finding the treatment convenient compared to only 35% in the intravenous group.

Long-term safety of COVID vaccination in individuals with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: results from the COVAD study.

Rheumatol Int

September 2023

Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences, Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, Manchester Academic Health Science Centre, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Limited evidence on long-term COVID-19 vaccine safety in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) continues to contribute to vaccine hesitancy. We studied delayed-onset vaccine adverse events (AEs) in patients with IIMs, other systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disorders (SAIDs), and healthy controls (HCs), using data from the second COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases (COVAD) study. A validated self-reporting e-survey was circulated by the COVAD study group (157 collaborators, 106 countries) from Feb-June 2022.

Flares in IIMs and the timeline following COVID-19 vaccination: a combined analysis of the COVAD-1 and -2 surveys.

Rheumatology (Oxford)

January 2024

Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences, Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, Manchester Academic Health Science Centre The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates flares in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) and other autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) after COVID-19 vaccination, aiming to understand risk factors involved.
  • In a survey with over 15,000 respondents, about 9.6% to 19.6% of patients experienced flares post-vaccination, with those having active IIMs showing a greater risk, while treatments like rituximab and AZA reduced risk.
  • Key risk factors for flares included being female, having comorbid conditions like asthma, and experiencing higher pain levels, highlighting a difference between self-reported and clinically identified flares.

Flares in autoimmune rheumatic diseases in the post-COVID-19 vaccination period-a cross-sequential study based on COVAD surveys.

Rheumatology (Oxford)

December 2023

Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences, Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, Manchester Academic Health Science Centre, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Objective: Flares of autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) following COVID-19 vaccination are a particular concern in vaccine-hesitant individuals. Therefore, we investigated the incidence, predictors and patterns of flares following vaccination in individuals living with AIRDs, using global COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases (COVAD) surveys.

Methods: The COVAD surveys were used to extract data on flare demographics, comorbidities, COVID-19 history, and vaccination details for patients with AIRDs.

Vaccine hesitancy decreases in rheumatic diseases, long-term concerns remain in myositis: a comparative analysis of the COVAD surveys.

Rheumatology (Oxford)

October 2023

Division of Musculoskeletal and Dermatological Sciences, Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, Manchester Academic Health Science Centre The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK.

Objective: COVID-19 vaccines have a favorable safety profile in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) such as idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs); however, hesitancy continues to persist among these patients. Therefore, we studied the prevalence, predictors and reasons for hesitancy in patients with IIMs, other AIRDs, non-rheumatic autoimmune diseases (nrAIDs) and healthy controls (HCs), using data from the two international COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases (COVAD) e-surveys.

Methods: The first and second COVAD patient self-reported e-surveys were circulated from March to December 2021, and February to June 2022 (ongoing).

Background: The prospective, multicentre EURECA registry assessed the use of imaging and adoption of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines (GL) in patients with chronic coronary syndromes (CCS).

Methods: Between May 2019 and March 2020, 5156 patients were recruited in 73 centres from 24 ESC member countries. The adoption of GL recommendations was evaluated according to clinical presentation and pre-test probability (PTP) of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
