Inflammation and immunomodulatory therapies influence the relationship between ATP-binding cassette A1 membrane transporter-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity and coronary atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis
CONCLUSION: ABCA1-CEC associated with decreased atherosclerosis in patients with below-median baseline and time-averaged CRP and bDMARD use. Conversely, ABCA1-CEC associated with increased plaque in those with higher CRP, corticosteroid users, methotrexate nonusers, and bDMARD nonusers. While in well-treated and controlled disease ABCA1-CEC appears atheroprotective, in uncontrolled RA its action may be masked or fail to counteract the inflammation-driven proatherogenic state.PMID:37520890 | PMC:PMC10371792 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtauto.2023.100209

Giant cell arteritis with vertebral artery involvement —baseline characteristics and follow-up of a monocentric patient cohort
Vertebral artery (VA) involvement in giant cell arteritis (GCA) has rarely been reported. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, patients’ characteristics, and immunotherapies used in patients with GCA and VA involvement at diagnosis and 1 year follow-up, retrospectively including patients being diagnosed between January 2011 and March 2021 in our department. Clinical features, laboratory data, VA imaging, immunotherapy, and 1 year follow-up data were analyzed. Baseline characteristics were compared to GCA patients without VA involvement. Among all 77 cases with GCA, 29 patients (37.7%) had VA involvement, as diagnosed b...

Updates in the diagnosis and management of Takayasu's arteritis
This article aims to describe to the reader key features of Takayasu's arteritis and highlights updated evidence in the diagnosis and management of these patients. We also review the 2021 ACR guidelines for Takayasu's arteritis and correlate them to the updated evidence discussed throughout the review. An extensive literature search was conducted via PUBMED, including the words 'Takayasu's diagnostic criteria,' 'Takayasu's treatment,' 'Takayasu's diagnosis,' 'Takayasu's imaging', and 'Takayasu's diagnostic criteria.' Search was filtered to include clinical trials, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-...
