Clinical profiles associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in antisynthetase syndrome: A multicentric cohort study (TYPASS study)

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 365-380, March 2026.
Abstract Objectives To assess factors associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) (RP‐ILD) at time of ILD diagnosis in a multicentric retrospective cohort study of antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS). We used a complementary unsupervised approach, hierarchical clustering, to delineate distinct phenotypes among ASyS patients with ILD.

Efficacy and safety of rilonacept for recurrent pericarditis: results from a phase II clinical trial

Heart, 2020
Objective Recurrent pericarditis (RP) incurs significant morbidity. Rilonacept inhibits both interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) and IL-1β; these cytokines are thought to play a major role in RP. This phase II study evaluated rilonacept efficacy and safety in RP.

Effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors on the pulmonary circulation in lung cancer patients

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 3, Page 682-696, 1 February 2026.
What's new? Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective against various cancers, but as more patients receive these therapies, more immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) emerge. Recent studies have suggested that ICIs are associated with an increase in pulmonary artery diameter and the ratio between pulmonary artery diameter and aortic diameter ...

Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.
