Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region, whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.

A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial of Abatacept for the Treatment of Relapsing, Nonsevere Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To compare the efficacy of abatacept to placebo for the treatment of relapsing, nonsevere granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Methods In this multicenter trial, eligible patients with relapsing, nonsevere GPA were randomized to receive abatacept 125 mg subcutaneously once a week or placebo, both together with prednisone 30 mg/day (or ...

Loss of Tripartite Motif–Containing Protein 21 and UVB‐Induced Systemic Inflammation by Regulating DNA‐Sensing Pathways

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experience photosensitivity, with exposure to UVB light driving lupus flares and triggering symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, and cutaneous lesions. Although the mechanism(s) linking UVB exposure to systemic effects are unclear, type I interferons (IFNs) are known to play a role.

A Tolerogenic Plasmid Inhibits Autoantibody Production Triggered by Immunization With Human Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase 4

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is usually preceded and likely mediated by autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) that recognize citrulline residues on multiple proteins. Conversion of arginine into citrulline is performed by enzymes called peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs). We have previously demonstrated that the human PAD4 (hPAD4) is

Pregnancy Outcomes in Women With Systemic Sclerosis Before and/or After Diagnosis and by Parity: A Swedish Population‐Based Cohort Study

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) in a contemporary cohort of women with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in relation to the timing of SSc diagnosis and by parity. Methods From the nationwide Swedish Medical Birth Register, we assembled pregnancies with births in women with SSc and in comparator women from the general population ...

Autoantibody Response Toward Chromatin in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) frequently exhibit antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), but the specific antigen target recognized by them and the presence of additional autoantibody specificities in patients with JIA remains elusive.
