Rheumatology

The severity of Raynaud’s disease is not only linked to very low temperatures, but also hot environments that reach 35°C and above, according to recent research.  

New research has demonstrated that frailty, a measure of biological age, predicts severe infections in older adults with incident antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis.

Research has shown that long-term use of antibiotics is associated with a higher risk of rheumatoid arthritis. 

Age and hypertension increase cranial ischaemic complication risk in giant cell arteritis, while anticoagulant therapy may be protective

Frailty, more than age, significantly impacts the risk of severe infections in older adults with ANCA-associated vasculitis, according to a new study

A study from SPIN shows that most individuals with systemic sclerosis are vaccinated against COVID-19, with minimal severe side effects and low rates of disease flare-ups.

A study revealed that the severity of Raynaud’s phenomenon, a common early manifestation of systemic sclerosis, is influenced significantly by ambient temperature.

A study compared the effectiveness of three immunomodulatory therapies combined with corticosteroids in preventing uveitis relapse in patients with severe Behcet’s disease.
