GCA is the most common large vessel vasculitis in the elderly population. In recent years, advanced imaging has changed the way GCA can be diagnosed in many locations. The GCA fast-track clinic approach combined with US examination allows prompt treatment and diagnosis with high certainty. Fast-track clinics have been shown to improve prognosis while being cost effective. However, all diagnostic modalities are highly operator dependent, and in many locations expertise in advanced imaging may not be available. In this paper, we review the current evidence on GCA diagnostics and propose a simple algorithm for diagnosing GCA for use by rheumatologists not working in specialist centres.

Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare autoimmune rheumatic disease causing large-vessel vasculitis. Onset is typically between the ages of 20 and 30 years. It is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, notably due to its effects on the cardiovascular system. It has a poorly understood global epidemiology. Our objective was to systematically review the available evidence in order to calculate the incidence rate of TAK.

Gout, caused by chronic elevation of serum uric acid levels, is the commonest form of inflammatory arthritis. The causative effect of common and rare variants of ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (ABCG2/BCRP) on gout risk has been studied, but little attention has been paid to the effect of common (rs121907892, p.W258X) and rare variants of urate transporter 1 (URAT1/SLC22A12) on gout, despite dysfunctional variants of URAT1 having been identified as pathophysiological causes of renal hypouricaemia.

Suboptimal medication adherence is a serious problem in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. To measure medication adherence, electronic monitoring is regarded as superior to pill count. GLORIA is an ongoing two-year trial on the addition of low-dose (5?mg/d) prednisolone or placebo to standard care in older people (65+ years) with RA. During the entire trial, adherence is measured with electronic caps, and with pill counts. The objective is to describe medication adherence patterns, and to compare the adherence results of the two methods.

Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is a severe corneal condition associated with uncontrolled RA. Tocilizumab (TCZ) is used to control RA, however, episodes of paradoxical ocular inflammation have been reported in TCZ-treated patients. We report a case series of PUK in TCZ-treated RA patients with ophthalmological and systemic findings and discuss the potential underlying mechanisms.

In 2016 specific heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in the Mediterranean fever gene MEFV were reported as causal for a distinct autoinflammatory disease coined pyrin-associated autoinflammation with neutrophilic dermatosis (PAAND). We sought to provide an extended report on clinical manifestations in PAAND patients to date and evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with the IL-1-blocking agent anakinra.

FMF results from mutations in the Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene. The p. E148Q protein alternation is one of the most frequent in the MEFV gene, yet the exact E148Q genotype–phenotype correlation remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine clinical significance of heterozygous E148Q variant in a paediatric FMF cohort.

The myeloid cell-derived cytokine interleukin (IL-23) has been identified as an orchestrator of chronic inflammatory disease. IL-23 is instrumental in the activation of effector T cells and innate lymphoid cells, which in turn allow the mobilization of pro-inflammatory macrophages and neutrophils from the bone marrow and the initiation of inflammation in the joints, the gut and the skin. While the role of IL-23 in mounting chronic skin inflammation in the context of psoriasis is well established, increasing evidence suggests that also colitis and psoriatic arthritis are controlled by IL-23. Psoriasis, Crohn’s disease and psoriatic arthritis share a common genetic link to IL-23 receptor haplotypes and a therapeutic response to neutralization of IL-23. By controlling the expression of downstream effector cytokines IL-17A and TNFa, IL-23 triggers entheseal and synovial inflammation in patients with psoriatic arthritis by activating T cells and permitting the influx of macrophages and neutrophils into entheses and joints. Furthermore, IL-23 also influences structural changes in the joints of patients with psoriatic arthritis by enhancing osteoclast mediated bone resorption leading to bone erosion, as well as by modulating bone-forming osteoblasts resulting in bony spur formation and ankylosis. In summary, IL-23 represents a highly specialized inflammatory mediator, which is involved in the communication of inflammation across organs. IL-23 is positioned at the initiation point of a pro-inflammatory cytokine cascade that precipitates the development of psoriatic arthritis.
