711, p<0.0001). Clinical presentations not included in the classification algorithm and lack of informative histology were the most common reasons for not achieving classification. In patients achieving classification, the Classification score did not correlate with variables of disease activity and was not associated with specific outcomes. The ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria represent a replicable instrument for classifying patients and a useful framework for orienting diagnosis but are of limited utility for assessing IgG4-RD activity, for predicting disease outcomes, and for defining personalized therapeutic approaches.

Transient episodes of increased pain, stiffness or swelling are common in people with osteoarthritis (OA). Yet, evidence-based management strategies for lessening the impact of OA flares are rarely covered in clinical guidelines and have been identified as a gap by clinicians delivering OA care. We aimed to identify evidence on behavioral, lifestyle or other adjunctive flare management strategies that could be used by clinicians or consumers. A literature search between 1990-2020 was performed in three databases using a scoping methodology. We included qualitative or quantitative studies, and reviews that examined OA flare management, or that reported OA flare outcomes at timepoints ≤2 weeks post-intervention. Outcomes included any physical or psychological OA outcome treatable with a therapeutic intervention. We included 9 studies, all of which examined the relationship between therapeutic exercise/ physical activity and OA flares. All studies reported pain outcomes at the knee. Two also included the htories of symptom improvement, and for joints other than the knee. Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) can be detected in some idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) patients. We aimed to investigate the clinical features of IIM patients with AMAs. We retrospectively analysed 1,167 consecutive patients with IIM for AMA-associated myositis and compared them to age- and gender-matched AMA-negative IIM patients. Twenty-nine patients (2.5%) were identified with AMA-positive myositis; eight of them had primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). There were no significant differences in skin rash, dysphagia, interstitial lung disease, and muscle strength between AMA-positive patients and AMA-negative patients. Of 23 cases, 12 (52.2%) showed immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM)-like pathological features. amongst AMA-positive patients, 11 of 16 patients with isolated anti-AMAs were classified as IMNM which was significantly higher than that of patients with coexistent anti-AMAs and myositis-specific antibodies (p=0.026). Moreover, subclinical cardiac involvement was significanor for abnormal echocardiography findings in AMA-positive patients. Patients without heart involvement took less time to achieve disease remission and prednisone tapering off. To evaluate the prevalence and clinical associations of ultrasound (US) findings of inflammatory arthritis and joint and soft tissue pathology in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The hands and wrists of 43 SSc patients and 35 age-balanced controls were evaluated by clinical exam and musculoskeletal US. Synovial and tenosynovial pathology were assessed using semi-quantitative Gray Scale (GS) and Power Doppler (PD) scoring. US evaluation for osteophytes, erosions, ulnar artery occlusion, and median nerve cross-sectional areas was performed. Tender joints (TJ), swollen joints (SJ), modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), digital ulcers, contractures, and calcinosis were evaluated. Concordance between US and physical exam findings at each joint region were assessed, and associations between their severity were analyzed. TJs and SJs were present in 44.2% and 62.8% of SSc patients, respectively. Inflammatory arthritis, defined as having both GS>0 and PD>0, was observed in 18.6% of SSc patients and no controls. There was a high concordance by joint region between GS synovial hypertrophy and osteophytes (κ=0.88) as well as TJs (κ=0.72). SSc patients had more osteophytes compared to controls (48.8% vs 22.9%, p=0.018) as well as higher osteophyte severity (p=0.033). Despite a high percentage of tender and swollen joints, less than 20% of SSc patients met criteria for inflammatory arthritis on US. The high concordance of osteophytes with GS synovial hypertrophy and tender joints suggest that osteophytosis may be a significant contributor to joint pain in SSc patients.

To define the clinical features of anti-Ku-positive myositis patients and to determine the reliability of the Euroline assay to detect anti-Ku autoantibodies. Serum samples were screened for anti-Ku autoantibodies by Euroline and positive samples were confirmed by ELISA. The prevalence and severity of clinical features at onset and during follow-up in patients with anti-Ku-positive myositis were compared to those with dermatomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), the antisynthetase syndrome (AS), inclusion body myositis (IBM), anti-U1-RNP-positive myositis, and anti-PM/Scl-positive myositis. 72 (2.9%) of 2475 samples were anti-Ku positive by Euroline using the manufacturer's recommended cutoff of >15. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/u18666a.html Just 17 (23.6%) of these were confirmed by ELISA and considered anti-Ku-positive for the analysis. Comparators included 169 IMNM, 168 AS, 387 IBM, 20 anti-U1-RNP-positive, and 47 anti-PM/Scl-positive patients. Muscle weakness was a presenting feature in 38% of anti-Ku-positive patients; 81% developed weakness during follow-up.
