Drug-induced lupus erythematosus in childhood: Case-based review
CONCLUSION: For children presenting with SLE features, proper drug history is crucial since DILE may be more frequent than anticipated. An association of the relevant drug with the symptoms, and resolution of symptoms on drug withdrawal provides evidence for the diagnosis of DILE.PMID:38580326 | DOI:10.1177/09612033241245078 (Source: Lupus)

Prevention of colon enlargement by TNF- α antagonist in a streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model
CONCLUSIONS: TNF-α signaling in the colonic tissue of diabetic rats has a strong effect on tissue remodeling, leading to colon enlargement. TNF-α antagonists may be beneficial in preventing diabetic-related pathology in the colon in combination with anti-diabetic drugs.PMID:38572731 | DOI:10.14670/HH-18-735 (Source: Histology and Histopathology)

Adalimumab in the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis: Results from a Delphi investigation
CONCLUSION: Results from this Delphi study clearly show an overall consensus on the use of adalimumab in the management of PsO and PsA, particularly as first-choice for specific subpopulations (uveitis, IBD, hidradenitis suppurativa). Considering the cost-effectiveness of biosimilars within Italy, adalimumab may represent an effective and safe first-line treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe PsO or PsA, and a valid choice for switching after failure.PMID:38571927 | PMC:PMC10985702 | DOI:10.1515/rir-2024-0006 (Source: Cell Research)

Additional Data in Expanded Patient Populations and New Indications Support the Practice of Biosimilar-to-Biosimilar Switching
AbstractAs of 31 December, 2023, 31 observational studies have been published, including a total of 6081 patients who underwent a switch from one biosimilar to another biosimilar of the same reference biologic. Most studies evaluated infliximab, while a smaller number evaluated adalimumab, rituximab or etanercept. Indications studied now include sarcoidosis, as well as the indications previously reported of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis/ankylosing spondylitis and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn ’s disease and ulcerative colitis). This updated data set includes eight additional studi...

The First Case of a Korean Patient with a Mutation-Confirmed Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndrome
Yonsei Med J. 2024 Apr;65(4):241-245. doi: 10.3349/ymj.2023.0366.ABSTRACTTumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS, OMIM: #142680) is a rare autoinflammatory disease (AID) with recurrent febrile episodes. To our knowledge, we report herein the first case of a patient with TRAPS in South Korea whose symptoms included fever, arthralgia, abdominal pain, rash, myalgia, cough, and lymphadenopathy. A pathogenic de novo mutation, c.175T>C (p.Cys59Arg), in the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFRSF1A) gene, was confirmed by gene sequencing. The patient has been with tocilizumab (an...

Effectiveness and safety of biological and target synthetic drugs treatment for psoriatic arthritis: a systematic review with network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, based on the balance between efficacy and safety, Secukinumab and Adalimumab may be the preferred options among the evaluated drugs for treating patients with PsA. However, caution is necessary when interpreting the safety findings, as they are supported by evidence of low to very low certainty. Consequently, the balance between benefits and potential risks may change as new safety evaluation studies become available.PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: PROSPERO: CRD42022315577.PMID:38515177 | DOI:10.1186/s42358-024-00361-3 (Source: Adv Data)
