“Sounds a Bit Crazy, But It Was Almost More Personal:” A Qualitative Study of Patient and Clinician Experiences of Physical Therapist–Prescribed Exercise For Knee Osteoarthritis Via Skype
ConclusionPatients and physical therapists described mostly positive experiences using Skype as a service delivery model for physical therapist–supervised exercise management of moderate knee OA. Such a model is feasible and acceptable and has the potential to increase access to supervised exercise management for people with knee OA, either individually or in combination with traditional in‐clinic visits.

Education mitigates the effect of poverty on total knee arthroplasty outcomes
ConclusionIn poor communities, those without college attain 2‐year WOMAC scores that are 10 points worse than those with some college; education has no impact on TKA outcomes in wealthy communities. How education protects those in impoverished communities warrants further study.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)

The perspectives of medical specialists from different disciplines on the management of systemic lupus erythematosus: an interview study
ConclusionsSpecialists strive to deliver evidence‐informed patient‐centered care, but recognize they are anchored by their training. To overcome uncertainties in clinical management due to lack of high‐quality evidence and specialty silo structures, specialists translated evidence from other disease settings and collaborated with other specialists in routine care. Developing robust evidence, tools to support evidence informed decisions, and multidisciplinary shared‐care pathways may improve the management of people with this complex disease.This article is protected by copyright.

Consensus Treatment Plans for Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis Refractory to Nonsteroidal Anti ‐Inflammatory Drugs and/or with Active Spinal Lesions
ConclusionThree consensus treatment plans were developed for pediatric patients with CNO refractory to NSAIDs and/or with active spinal lesions. Use of these CTPs will provide additional information on efficacy and will generate meaningful data for comparative effectiveness research in CNO.This article is protected by copyright.

Association of High Anti ‐Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Seropositivity and Lean Mass Index with Low Bone Mineral Density in Rheumatoid Arthritis
ConclusionHigh anti‐CCP positivity and ALMI were strongly associated with BMD in patients with RA. The linear relationship of anti‐CCP levels with lower BMD supports the hypothesis that processes specific to RA negatively impact BMD. In contrast, ALMI was positively associated with BMD, emphasizing the importance of this potentially modifiable risk factor. Our findings highlight the complicated interplay of RA disease‐specific and functional factors and their impact on bone mass.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Antinuclear Matrix Protein 2 Autoantibodies and Edema, Muscle Disease, and Malignancy Risk in Dermatomyositis Patients
ConclusionIn DM, anti–NXP‐2 autoantibodies are associated with subcutaneous edema, calcinosis, and a muscle phenotype characterized by myalgia, proximal and distal weakness, and dysphagia. As anti–NXP‐2‐positive patients have an increased risk of cancer, we suggest that they undergo comprehensive cancer screening. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)

Association of Fibrosing Myopathy in Systemic Sclerosis and Higher Mortality
