Mashup Score: 23Cardiovascular risk in young people with childhood onset systemic lupus erythematosus - 13 day(s) ago
Since 1940, epidemiologists, clinicians, and scientists promoted increased awareness of the crucial importance of promoting preventive strategies for minimising the risk of poor health later in life. This is particularly relevant to children and young people with chronic inflammatory diseases, including childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which are almost always associated with increased risk of comorbidity. A wealth of literature emphasises the contribution of chronic inflammation to the development of subclinical atherosclerosis, which drives the increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and many guidelines across specialties highlight the need for cardiovascular disease risk stratification and tailored management.

Mashup Score: 38
A prediction tool for giant cell arteritis (the HAS-GCA score), combining SGCAPS and the halo count, reliably confirms and excludes giant cell arteritis from giant cell arteritis mimics in fast-track clinics. These findings require confirmation in an independent, multicentre study.

Mashup Score: 7Clinical assessment and management of lumbar spinal stenosis: clinical dilemmas and considerations for surgical referral - 18 day(s) ago
Lumbar spinal stenosis is the leading indication for spine surgery in older adults. Surgery is recommended in clinical guidelines if non-surgical treatments have been provided with insufficient benefit. The difficulty for clinicians is that the current number of randomised controlled trials is low, which creates uncertainty about which treatments to provide. For non-surgical clinicians this paucity of data leads to a clinical dilemma of whether to continue managing the patient or refer to a spine surgeon.

Mashup Score: 5The Florida Scoring System for stratifying children with suspected Sjögren's disease: a cross-sectional machine learning study - 19 day(s) ago
The Florida Scoring System is a paediatrician-friendly tool that can be used to assist classification and long-term monitoring of suspected childhood Sjögren’s disease. The resulting stratification has important implications for clinical management, trial design, and pathobiological research. We found a highly symptomatic patient group with negative serology and diagnostic profiles, which warrants clinical attention. We further revealed that salivary gland ultrasonography can be a non-invasive alternative to minor salivary gland biopsy in children.

Mashup Score: 1Blau syndrome presenting as lipoma arborescens - 20 day(s) ago
A 29-year-old woman presented with a 23-year history of multiple joint swelling and intermittent pain. Physical examination showed large, soft, and fluctuant soft tissue swelling of the hands, wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles, bilaterally (figure A; appendix p 2). Symmetric tense knee effusions restricted her range of motion. She had previously had multiple recurrences of panuveitis, cataract, and secondary glaucoma in both eyes for 7 years, with retinal detachment leading to blindness in her left eye.
