Severe mitroaortic valve dysfunction prevalent in systemic sclerosis

08 Mar 2021

Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are more likely to experience moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and aortic stenosis (AS) than age-matched non-SSc controls with similar cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities, results of a case-control study have shown.

Lower vitamin D in SLE increases susceptibility to MetS, insulin resistance

02 Mar 2021

In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), lower vitamin D levels contribute to an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and insulin resistance, as shown in a study.

Can cognitive behavioural therapy thwart chronic widespread pain?

18 Feb 2021 by

For individuals at high risk of chronic widespread pain, a short course of telephone-delivered cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) is cost effective and favourably affects quality of life, although falling short of preventing the onset of pain, according to data from the MAMMOTH* study.

Decline in walking speed predicts death risk in adults with knee OA

18 Feb 2021

Adults with, or at risk of, knee osteoarthritis (OA) who walk slower than 1.22 m/s in the present face an increased mortality risk, regardless of decline over the previous year, suggest the results of a study.

Tanezumab improves pain, function in OA, but safety events higher vs NSAID

18 Feb 2021

Treatment with tanezumab appears to relieve pain and improve physical function in patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA), but may lead to dose-dependent increase in joint safety events as compared with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), according to the results of a phase III safety trial.

Abdominal obesity ups risk of rheumatoid arthritis in women

16 Feb 2021

Abdominal obesity appears to contribute to an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), particularly seropositive RA, among young and middle-aged women, a study has shown. However, it does not independently contribute to RA risk beyond general obesity.
