Evaluation of Choroidal Thickness and Choroidal Vascularity Index in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
CONCLUSION: We demonstrated thinning in CT and decreased CVI for the first time in RA patients by comparing it with the control group.PMID:38691844 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2024.2345289 (Source: Ocular Immunology and Inflammation)

Circulating interleukin 17A and other inflammatory proteins may predict cardiovascular disease in early rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSION: Circulating IL-17A at RA diagnosis predicted future CVD, although we cannot exclude that this finding is due to multiple testing. The association was independent of traditional CVD risk factors, and of ESR at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, OPG may be a predictor of CVD. We also identified some novel potential biomarkers for CVD in RA.PMID:38692670 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-1078 (Source: Journal of Rheumatology)

The Impact of Rheumatoid Arthritis on First Nations and How We Can Work With Communities to Prevent It
J Rheumatol. 2024 May 1:jrheum.2024-0369. doi: 10.3899/jrheum.2024-0369. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is prevalent in many Indigenous North American First Nations (FN) and tends to be seropositive, familial, and disabling, as well as associated with highly unfavorable outcomes such as early mortality. The risk of developing RA is based on a perfect storm of gene-environment interactions underpinning this risk. The gene-environment interactions include a high frequency of shared epitope encoding HLA alleles, particularly HLA-DRB1*1402, in the background population, and prevalent predisposing envir...

Sex-related differences in dispensation of rheumatic medications in older patients with inflammatory arthritis: A population-based study
CONCLUSION: This study did not identify any sex difference in use of DMARDs among older RA and PsA patients. Reasons for the higher use of opioids and NSAIDs among female RA patients warrants further research.PMID:38692668 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-1148 (Source: Journal of Rheumatology)

Interpersonal process of dyadic coping in rheumatoid arthritis: a perspective from the Australian Rheumatology Association Database (ARAD)
CONCLUSION: Participants and spouse's own views of supportive and negative dyadic coping they receive intimately affects their psychological distress and relationship quality. Also, having a partner with rheumatoid arthritis also seemed to impact the spouse especially when there was a negative dyadic coping pattern.PMID:38692667 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-0664 (Source: Journal of Rheumatology)
