Functional Impact of Structural Damage in Psoriatic Arthritis: Insights from a Prospective Cohort Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To examine the association between radiographic structural damage and physical function (PF) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods Data were analyzed from a large longitudinal PsA cohort. PF was measured using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ, 0‐3) and Short Form‐36 PF subscale (SF‐36, 0‐100); radiographic joint damage using modified ...

Evaluating Associations Between Ankylosing Spondylitis, Torque Teno Virus and Polymorphisms in Interleukin 6 and Vitamin D Receptor Genes

International Journal of Immunogenetics, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 157-170, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The etiology of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is complex and not yet fully understood. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), vitamin D and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) play an important role in modulating immune response, and Torque teno virus is considered a marker of immune status. This case–control study aimed to investigate the predisposition to AS. A total

When Fever Defies Diagnosis: Wissler–Fanconi Syndrome as an Atypical Presentation of Adult‐Onset Still's Disease

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Adult‐onset Still's disease should be considered in young adults presenting with fever of unknown origin and inflammatory arthritis, even in the absence of rash or sore throat. Recognition of the Wissler–Fanconi variant and early ferritin testing can prevent diagnostic delay and enable prompt, effective immunosuppressive therapy.

Radiologic Insights: Diagnosing Lumbosacral Transitional Vertebrae. Systematic Review of the Literature

Pain Practice, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) has been studied since 1876, with Castellvi developing a classification in 1984 based on its anatomy and laterality. It often goes unnoticed, or its diagnosis is limited to a lumbar spine X‐ray for confirmation. This has led to LSTV being underdiagnosed or even ignored.

Radiographs in screening for sacroiliitis in children: what is the value?

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2018
Background We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of pelvic radiographs versus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the sacroiliac joints in children with suspected sacroiliitis. Methods This was a retrospective cross-sectional study of children with
