Prevalence and Risk Factors for Esophageal Strictures in Systemic Sclerosis
ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.Objective Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects up to 90% of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Chronic esophageal acid exposure can result in complications including the formation of esophageal strictures (ES). Proton pump inhibitors can alter gastric acid pH and improve GORD symptoms; however, there have been no recent studies ...

Clinical Associations of Anti‐RNPC3 Autoantibodies in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
ACR Open Rheumatology, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.Objective The RNA‐binding region‐containing protein 3 (RNPC3) protein acts as a molecular bridge, promoting U11/U12 RNP complex formation. In previous reports, patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with anti‐RNPC3 autoantibodies had an increased risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD), severe gastrointestinal (GI) disease, and cancer.

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Pellagra may complicate functioning pulmonary atypical carcinoid and present as a subtle acral dermatosis rather than the classical photo‐distributed rash. In neuroendocrine tumor patients with chronic diarrhea and new skin changes, clinicians should suspect niacin deficiency and consider empiric nicotinamide, even when niacin assays are ...

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Parry‐Romberg Syndrome (PRS) is a rare disorder characterized by progressive unilateral facial atrophy, traditionally viewed as a localized scleroderma variant. Its rare coexistence with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) suggests a broader inflammatory etiology, challenging the notion of PRS as a purely ...
