Mashup Score: 0Methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis—another brick in the wall - 1 year(s) ago
Methotrexate has remained the mainstay in rheumatoid arthritis therapy, and the most recent EULAR recommendations emphasise methotrexate as part of the first-line treatment strategy unless contraindicated or not tolerated.1 This recommendation is based on more than 35 years of experience with methotrexate, its well characterised clinical efficacy, inhibition of radiographic progression,…

Mashup Score: 2Artificial intelligence and high-dimensional technologies in the theragnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus - 1 year(s) ago
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a complex, systemic autoimmune disease characterised by immune dysregulation. Pathogenesis is multifactorial, contributing to clinical heterogeneity and posing challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Although strides in treatment options have been made in the past 15 years, with the US Food and Drug Administration approval of belimumab in 2011, there are still many…

Mashup Score: 01-year results of treatment with rituximab in polymyalgia rheumatica: an extension study of a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial - 1 year(s) ago
After a single dose of rituximab (1000 mg), the proportion of patients with polymyalgia rheumatica in glucocorticoid-free remission remained stable at 1 year after infusion, and a glucocorticoid sparing effect was evident. A larger trial including possibility for retreatment is warranted to confirm these results.
