The impact of inflammatory rheumatic diseases on the presentation, severity, and outcome of acute coronary syndrome
Abstract Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) have a high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), leading to increased mortality and morbidity. However, it is not clear whether increased CVD mortality in IRD is due to a higher incidence or worse outcome of cardiovascular events (higher case fatality). In this observational case–control study, we assessed the outcome of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with IRDs compared to matched controls without IRD, using data from the Acute Coronary Syndrome Israeli Survey (ACSIS), a large, national, real-life registry detailing the extent, severity,...

What to expect when expecting with SLE: A population‐based study of maternal and fetal outcomes in SLE and pre‐SLE
Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that adverse maternal and fetal outcomes are more common in SLE pregnancies. Furthermore these unfavourable outcomes are observed in pregnancies occurring prior to the diagnosis of SLE. Thus, the underlying immunologic profile of SLE and alterations preceding clinical SLE may contribute to these pregnancy complications. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

A polyarticular onset and diabetes could be the main predictors of cardiovascular events in psoriatic arthritis.
CONCLUSIONS: Traditional CV risk factors as well as factors related to the inflammatory nature of the disease were the main predictors of CV complications in this PsA population. PMID: 26841682 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Arthritis Research UK joins the Richmond Group of Charities
We're delighted to announce that we've become a member of the Richmond Group of Charities. The Richmond Group (which includes other health charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, Age UK, British Heart Foundation and the Stroke Association) works as a collective voice to influence health and social care policy, with the aim of improving care and support for the 15 million people living with long-term conditions. We'll also be joining the group alongside long-term conditions charity the Alzheimer’s Society. We've been working in partnership with the Richmond Group over the last year on its ‘Doing the Righ...

Effects of gait retraining with real-time biofeedback in patients with knee osteoarthritis: systematic review and meta-analysis
Purpose: Use of real time biofeedback during gait retraining has been shown to be an effective form of therapy in stroke patients and other neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. In recent years, there has been increasing use of biofeedback for gait retraining in orthopedic conditions, with a particular focus on knee osteoarthritis. The aim of our systematic review was to investigate the effects of real-time biofeedback when used during gait retraining in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients.

Risk of Cerebrovascular Accidents and Ischemic Heart Disease in Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus: A Population‐based Cohort Study

Prevention of Recurrent Thrombosis in Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Different from the General Population?
Abstract Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by arterial and/or venous thrombosis with or without pregnancy morbidity in the presence of autoantibodies targeting proteins that associate with membrane phospholipids, termed “antiphospholipid antibodies” (aPL). Management of arterial and venous thromboses shares some similarities with management of arterial and venous thromboses in the general population; however, there are key differences. The majority of studies addressing management of thrombotic APS focus on secondary prevention. Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are typically used for secondary preve...

Association of Osteoarthritis With Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases in the Elderly: Findings From the Progetto Veneto Anziano Study Cohort
ConclusionOA may be a significant predictor of the onset of CVD in elderly individuals, particularly in women with OA and when OA affects the lower limbs or ≥2 joints are involved.

How hand osteoarthritis, comorbidity and pain interact to determine functional limitation in older people: Observations from the eposa study
Conclusions. Study results have demonstrated that although comorbidity was decidedly and independently associated with hand functional limitation, it has no effect on the hand OA‐physical function relationship. Hand OA was found to be associated with self‐reported as well as with performance‐based physical function impairment; the association was found to be partially mediated by pain, which reduces its impact.

Role of Osteoarthritis, Comorbidity, and Pain in Determining Functional Limitations in Older Populations: European Project on Osteoarthritis
ConclusionThese findings demonstrate that while comorbidity is strongly and independently associated with functional limitations, it does not affect the OA–physical function association. Hip/knee OA is associated with self‐reported impairment in physical function, which was only partially mediated by pain. Its association with physical function, as evaluated by the walking test, was instead completely mediated by pain.

ConclusionOur data demonstrate that adverse maternal and fetal outcomes are more common in SLE pregnancies. Furthermore, these unfavorable outcomes are observed in pregnancies occurring prior to the diagnosis of SLE. Thus, the underlying immunologic profile of SLE and alterations preceding clinical SLE may contribute to these pregnancy complications.

Fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis 'may need to be treated separately'
This study highlights the need for better treatments for fatigue, which can be used alongside existing medication. We need to ensure fatigue has recognition from medical professionals so people can get the care they require."Along with pain, fatigue is one of the things that people with arthritis tell us has the biggest impact on their lives, which is why Arthritis Research UK is funding research into coping with the effects of fatigue on a day-to-day basis."
