Single‐Cell Profiling Identifies CLEC5A+ Macrophages as Key Drivers of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Via CCL5‐Mediated M1 Polarization

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a life‐threatening cardiovascular disease with limited therapeutic options. Through single‐cell RNA sequencing of aortic tissues from healthy individuals and TAA patients (105,541 cells), we identified CLEC5A+macrophages as the predominant pathogenic cell population exhibiting the highest M1 polarization score.

Hematological Inflammation Indices Are Associated With Active Uveitis in Ankylosing Spondylitis

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Hematological inflammation indices reflect the systemic inflammatory burden in ankylosing spondylitis. Patients with active uveitis exhibit a distinct pro‐inflammatory profile characterised by increased NLR, PLR, SII, SIRI, and AISI, along with decreased HALP and CALLY scores.

Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Hip Effusion in Children Presenting to the Emergency Department With Atraumatic Limp or Hip Pain: A Scoping Review

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
This study reviews the evidence for point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) for the detection of hip effusion in children presenting to the emergency department with atraumatic limp or hip pain. A scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses Extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA‐ScR) guideline ...

TRIM Expression and Its Association With Disease Activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with diverse manifestations, including rash, arthritis, and nephritis. Although autoantibodies are a key feature of SLE, their levels often poorly reflect disease severity, suggesting the involvement of additional contributing factors.

Collagen‐membrane‐covered matrix‐associated chondrocyte implantation improves safety over periosteum‐covered MACI for large knee cartilage defects: A real‐world data analysis in the registry study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This registry study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of collagen membrane‐covered matrix‐associated autologous chondrocyte implantation (cMACI) versus periosteum‐covered MACI (pMACI) for large knee cartilage defects (Outerbridge III–IV, ≥4 cm²) in the femorotibial and/or patellofemoral joints with a minimum 2‐year follow ...

Case series: Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease with diagnostic overlap

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Kikuchi‐Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare, self‐limiting necrotizing lymphadenitis that poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its overlap with tuberculosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and malignancy. We present four cases highlighting distinct diagnostic complexities: KFD mimicking tuberculosis with concomitant latent TB infection and ...

Infection risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with biologic and targeted therapies

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
In this context, infections associated with each biologic and targeted drug are summarized to inform the stratification of RA patients, including the characteristics of the susceptible patients and their concomitant therapy. We aim to provide a benefit‐risk analysis for clinical decision, and vital indications for the prevention of highly correlated ...
