More than skin ‐deep elbow pain in a psoriatic arthritis patient after phlebotomy
Ultrasound of right elbow (short axis): Bicipital bursa filled with fluid (anechoic) and hypoechoic synovial hypertrophy (thin white arrow). Thick white arrow, distal biceps tendon; arrowhead, tendon sheath; gray arrow, enthesophyte; Br. A, brachial artery; RT, radial tuberosity. Key Clinical MessageBicipitoradial bursitis is an unusual cause of cubital fossa pain in PsA patients. Bedside Ultrasound is a valuable tool to correlate the source of pain in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

Blue Notes
Immune-mediated inflammatory disorders (IMIDs) including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis (PSO), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS), are associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). There is uncertainty regarding the cardiovascular safety of newer medications for IMIDs such as biologics and small molecules (anti-IL-23, anti-IL-12/23, anti-TNFs, and JAKi). This network meta-analysis pooled 40 studies (36 RCTs) that reported MACE (myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, unstable angina, cardiovascular death, or heart failure) in ...

Detection of significant liver fibrosis in Chinese psoriasis patients receiving methotrexate: a comparison between transient elastography and liver histology
CONCLUSION: Transient elastography is reliable and superior to the TCD for detecting liver fibrosis in Chinese psoriasis patients receiving MTX. Liver biopsy should be reserved for high-risk patients or patients with liver stiffness ≥11.7 kPa on TE.PMID:38651202 | DOI:10.12809/hkmj2210364 (Source: Hong Kong Med J)
