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.

Objective To assess the risk of serious infection associated with different targeted therapies for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in real-world settings. Methods This nationwide cohort study used the administrative healthcare database of the French health insurance scheme linked to the hospital discharge database to identify all adults with PsA who were new users of targeted therapies (adalimumab, etanercept, golimumab, certolizumab pegol, infliximab, secukinumab, ixekizumab, ustekinumab, and tofacitinib) from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2021. The primary outcome was a serious infection (ie, requiring hospitalisation), in a time-to-event analysis using propensity score-weighted Cox models, with adalimumab as the comparator, estimating weighted HRs (wHRs) and their 95% CIs. Results A total of 12 071 patients were included (mean age 48.7±12.7 years; 6965 (57.7%) women). We identified 367 serious infections (3.0% of patients), with a crude incidence rate of 17.0 per 1000 person-years (95% CI, 15
