Axial Function Reflects Global Severity in Inherited Ataxias: The Upright Stability Score in Ambulatory Friedreich vs. Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited ataxias are clinically diverse neurodegenerative diseases, complicating the choice of outcome measures for trials. In spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), regulatory concerns about the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) caused a shift toward functional SARA (f‐SARA), contributing to pivotal trial failure.

Short‐Term Response to Biologic Therapy in Psoriatic Arthritis Is Not Influenced by Disease Duration at Initiation of Therapy

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to determine whether the short‐term response to biologics in biologic‐naive psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is better in patients initiating biologic treatment early in the disease course. Methods Patients with PsA who started on biologic therapy from the year 2000 to 2025 were included for analysis.
