Mashup Score: 12Multiplicative Adverse Effects of Social Determinants of Health in Lupus Nephritis: A Meta-analysis and Systematic Review | RheumNow - 5 day(s) ago
A metanalysis shows that social determinants of health adversely impacts patients with lupus nephritis. Lupus nephritis is a significant complication of SLE, often with dramatic increases in morbid and mortal risks. Outcomes are likely to be augmented by social determinants of health, including socio-economic status, and social risk factors.

Positive findings with color Doppler ultrasound were enough to diagnose giant cell arteritis (GCA) accurately without need for confirmation with temporal artery biopsy (TAB), a prospective study indicated.Out of 165 older patients in whom GCA was strongly suspected, 73 (44%) had the telltale “halo” sign on temporal artery ultrasound; and of those, the GCA diagnosis was unchanged when re-examined 2 years later, according to Guillaume Denis, MD, of Centre Hospitalier Rochefort in France, and colleagues.

The Rotterdam study shows that weight-bearing recreational physical activity caused more incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA), but mainly when there was low muscle mass. KOA risk is traditionally linked to either obesity or injury. This study assesses whether muscle mass may influence osteoarthritis risk.

Mashup Score: 22Complex Autoantibody Patterns in RA | RheumNow - 7 day(s) ago
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) all have a unique and diverse set of antibodies that are involved in the development of the disease. Researchers at Utrecht University unveiled the complexity of these antibodies using powerful lab tools capable of analysing our immune system at molecular levels. This discovery reported in Nature Communicationssuggests that current assumptions about the origin of RA are too simple. Still, their findings may point towards improved diagnostics.

Mashup Score: 7Systemic Inflammation and Mortality in RA-ILD | RheumNow - 7 day(s) ago
Analysis of the German RABBIT registry shows that systemic inflammation, more so than disease activity, strongly influences all-cause mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and prevalent interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD).RA-ILD patients from the biologics register Rheumatoid Arthritis: Observation of Biologic Therapy (RABBIT) were enrolled to assess the down stream effects of disease activity, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
