Coronary artery calcification in Takayasu's arteritis: clinical characteristics and risk factors
CONCLUSIONS: We recommend CCTA screening for Numano V classified TAK patients. Glucocorticoid usage significantly escalates the risk of CAC. Therefore, in cases of effectively controlled disease, the inclusion of immunosuppressants aimed at reducing glucocorticoid dosage is advisable.PMID:38607693 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/ypq2lj (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Fibromyalgia: one year in review 2024
This article summarises the main advances in FM during the last year. Even in 2023, research on FM was notably active. From a clinimetric perspective, studies have been conducted to evaluate the possibilities of interchanging the primary indices of disease severity, primarily for studies with substantial case numbers. Regarding FM pathogenesis, ongoing research focuses on small fiber neuropathy: some studies have documented its association with central sensitisation, while others have revealed distinct sensory profiles in patients with FM and small fiber neuropathy compared to those solely with small fiber neuropathy. Dors...

The Joint Vasculitis Registry in German-speaking countries (GeVas): subgroup analysis of 266 AAV-patients
CONCLUSIONS: Demographic characteristics are comparable to those in other European countries. Differences were found regarding ANCA status, frequencies of organ manifestations, and therapeutic regimens. The GeVas registry will allow longitudinal observations and prospective outcome measures in AAV.PMID:38607682 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/suxkyq (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Validation of Qualisex questionnaire to evaluate sexual dysfunction in women affected by fibromyalgia
CONCLUSIONS: This study validated Qualisex questionnaire as a good test for the sexual disorders' evaluation in FM women. Its use allows the assessment of different factors associated with sexual dysfunction, showing an impact of FM on sexuality. Moreover, due to demotivation feelings, sexual dysfunction contributes to worsen patients' quality of life.PMID:38607686 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/a00yur (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Autoantibodies in post-treatment Lyme disease and association with clinical symptoms
CONCLUSIONS: Several autoantibodies were found after Borrelia burgdorferi and SARS-CoV2 infection, although the prevalence was similar in those with persistent symptoms and those who returned to health. While our data show no difference in autoantibody prevalence across the four post-infectious states, we do not imply that autoantibodies are irrelevant in this setting. Rather, this study highlights the need for novel antibody discovery in larger cohorts of well-defined patient populations.PMID:38607687 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/qcupkk (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)
