Septic arthritis (SA) and gout are the main suspected etiologies of acute monoarthritis. Differentiating them is essential because SA is an emergency. The performance of a gout diagnostic score developed by Janssens et al. was investigated in a cohort of patients with acute arthritis suspected of being septic. This was an ancillary study of a singl...

Background Rheumatoid artritis (RA) is characterized by increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality and by a metabolic profile including obesity, cachexia, insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia. Traditional DMARDs as well as biologics decreases inflammation and could thus improve CV risk. However, the effects of such therapies on lipids and body compositio...

... This study is limited by the fact that only baseline data were available for the analysis, with no follow-up data. In the French ASSESS cohort, the most frequent changes at follow-up were seen not only in the biological, articular, haematological and glandular domains, but also in the pulmonary domain [18]. Objective evaluation of this domain may require formal pulmonary function tests. ...

... However, one of the interesting points of our study was the 6.2% of SAFJ without documented bacteriological evidence. This is much less than in other osteoarticular infections (7 to 34% [19][20][21][22]) and VO (9 to 35% [23][24][25]). One explanation could stem from difficulties in synovial fluid aspiration in the absence of effusion or abscess, and the challenges associated with performing synovial or bone biopsies on these small joints. ...

... Indeed, this very rare subtype of severe muscle damage is more frequent in patients with Sjögren's than in the general population; indeed, the prevalence of muscle damage is almost 500 times higher in Sjögren's (20).

As far as rheumatological diseases are concerned, previous studies have focused mainly on cohorts of patients suffering from psoriasis or on cohorts of patients with neuropathic pain and chronic inflammatory diseases, to investigate the physiopathology of pain in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (CIRDs), showing that the highest prevalence of migraines was observed in patients with PsA, while the highest prevalence of neuropathic pain was found among patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) [15][16][17]. ...
