Is denosumab associated with an increased risk for infection in patients with low bone mineral density? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Brett Catton,Salman Surangiwala,Tanveer Towheed

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14101

Volume 24, Issue 7 p. 869-879

Denosumab increases bone mineral density through inhibition of the receptor activator of nuclear factor ?-? ligand (RANKL). RANKL has known immunomodulatory effect. The largest study to date that reviewed denosumab efficacy in osteoporosis demonstrated an increased incidence of serious adverse events of infection (SAEI). We aimed to further evaluate risk of infection and SAEI in denosumab-treated patients.

Prevention of infective complications in systemic lupus erythematosus: A systematic literature review for the APLAR consensus statements

Kenji Oku,Laniyati Hamijoyo,Nuntana Kasitanon,Meng Tao Li,Sandra Navarra,Eric Morand,Yoshiya Tanaka,Chi Chiu Mok

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14125

Volume 24, Issue 7 p. 880-895

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a more common autoimmune rheumatic disease in the Asia-Pacific region. The prognosis of SLE remains unsatisfactory in some Asian countries because of delayed diagnosis, limited access to medications, increased complications and issues of tolerability and adherence to treatment. The Asia-Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology SLE special interest group has recently published a set of consensus recommendations on the management of SLE for specialists, family physicians, specialty nurses, and other healthcare professionals in the Asia-Pacific region. This article reports a systematic literature review of the infective complications of SLE in Asia and evidence for prevention of these infections by pre-emptive antimicrobial therapy and vaccination.

The pathophysiological effects of exercise in the management of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: A scoping review

Ilke Coskun Benlidayi,Latika Gupta

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14104

Volume 24, Issue 7 p. 896-903

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is a term used for a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by severe muscle weakness. In addition to pharmacological treatment options, non-pharmacological methods such as exercising are essential for proper management of myositis. The present article aimed to provide an insight into the potential pathophysiological mechanisms underlying exercise-related benefits in myositis. A systematic search was performed on PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using the following keywords and their combinations: “idiopathic inflammatory myopathy”, “inflammatory myopathy”, “myositis”, “polymyositis”, “dermatomyositis”, “inclusion body myositis”, and “exercise”. Current literature indicates that exercising has impact on both immune and non-immune pathways in patients with IIM. Exercise-related benefits include (a) increased mitochondrial biogenesis/enzyme activity, (b) reconditioning of immune/inflammatory pathways, (c) decreased endoplasmic reticulum stress, (d) modulation of gene expression, (e) increased protein synthesis and cytoskeletal remodeling, and (f) decreased muscle fibrosis and non-muscle area infiltrates. With its certain benefits, exercise stands as a precious non-pharmacological treatment option for patients with IIM.

The impact of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis on employment and work disability in an Australian population

Vanessa Heron,Michael Gingold,Arthur R. Kitching,Kevan R. Polkinghorne,Jessica Ryan

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14131

Volume 24, Issue 7 p. 904-911

Although antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) most commonly affects older individuals, many patients develop the disease during their most productive working years. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of AAV on employment and work disability in a cohort of Australian patients of working age.

Effect of patient-led cooperative follow-up by general practitioners and community pharmacists on osteoporosis treatment persistence

Didier Poivret,Christophe Goetz,Yinka Zevering,Christophe Wilcke,Véronique Noirez

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14146

Volume 24, Issue 7 p. 912-921

Osteoporosis is a major risk factor for fractures. Poor persistence with osteoporosis medication hampers outcomes. This study assessed whether encouraging the formation of patient-led follow-up cooperatives between general practitioners (GPs) and community pharmacists improved medication persistence.

Survivin promotes rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocyte cell proliferation, and the expression of angiogenesis-related proteins by activating the NOTCH pathway

Sha Ma,Jing Wang,Jun Lin,Song Jin,Fang He,Jian Mei,Hong Zhang,Shuya Wang,Qin Li

doi : 10.1111/1756-185X.14150

Volume 24, Issue 7 p. 922-929

Survivin have been shown to play a crucial role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, the regulatory mechanism of survivin in RA has not been fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the effect of survivin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human RA fibroblast-like synoviocyte (RA-HFLS) cells in RA and its underlying mechanism through the NOTCH pathway.
