Clinical features and potential relevant factors of renal involvement in primary Sj ögren’s syndrome
ConclusionIn addition to LSGB pattern, anti ‐SSA/Ro52‐positivity, reduced C3 levels, hypoalbuminemia and anemia, also indicate significant association with renal involvement in pSS. Therefore, early vigilance is required for patients with these clinical manifestations. (Source: APLAR Journal of Rheumatology)

Masked pemphigus among pediatric patients with Castleman ’s disease
ConclusionIntractable mucocutaneous lesions with a concurrent tumor in children strongly indicate PNP resulting from CD. Because stomatitis or skin erosion may be the first presentation, mucocutaneous tissue biopsy and early detection of the underlying tumor are important. Earlier diagnosis is mandatory for the effective treatment of PNP and pulmonary involvement. (Source: APLAR Journal of Rheumatology)

A qualitative study of quality of life domains and subdomains relevant to patients with spondyloarthritis
ConclusionsA wide range of QoL domains and subdomains are relevant to SpA patients in Singapore, and there appears to be minimal differences in their relative importance between SpA subtypes. This study supports the development and validation of common QoL ‐specific PROMs for usage in SpA. (Source: APLAR Journal of Rheumatology)

Fc ‐gamma receptor expression profile in a North‐Indian cohort of pediatric‐onset systemic lupus erythematosus: An observational study
ConclusionNo significant differences were observed in Fc γR expression between patients and controls. However, the overall trends of FcγR expression and decreased CD16 on monocytes and neutrophils are in consonance with data from larger cohorts of adult SLE patients.
