Prognostic value of 18 FDG-PET at diagnosis and follow-up in giant cell arteritis: An observational restrospective study
CONCLUSION: PET vascular activity scores at diagnosis and at follow-up PET/CT performed outside a period of GCA activity do not display high performance to predict the occurrence of subsequent relapse in LV-GCA patients.PMID:38627183 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2024.03.037 (Source: European Journal of Internal Medicine)

Diagnosis, Treatment, and Follow-Up of Giant-Cell Arteritis: A Retrospective Multicenter Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study observed high dropout rates and short follow-ups. Adverse effects of prednisolone were common, and relapses occurred in approximately one-tenth of Korean patients with GCA. Thus, optimizing GCA treatment necessitates regular monitoring and long-term follow-up.PMID:38627226 | DOI:10.3988/jcn.2023.0169 (Source: Journal of Clinical Neurology)

To ASLO or Not to ASLO: Utility of the ASLO Test in Dermatology
CONCLUSIONS: Although the applicability of ASLO for the spectrum of dermatological diseases remains unclear, our results enhance the practical relevance of the test. We showed a higher prevalence of positive ASLO tests in psoriasis and erythema nodosum cases and a lower prevalence in vasculitis. Notably, ASLO was positive in all psoriasis subtypes, suggesting high utility of the test for psoriasis.PMID:38616666 (Source: The Israel Medical Association Journal)
