Evaluation of clinicopathological features of renal biopsies in non-lupus rheumatic diseases: a university hospital experience.
Renal involvement is a common condition in rheumatologic diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical presentations and histopathological results in patients diagnosed with non-lupus rheumatic diseases who underwent renal biopsy. The records of 900 renal biopsies performed at our hos…
One-Year Real-Life Data from Thai Patients with Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis Treated with Secukinumab - Outcomes from the PROMPT Study.
Real-world data on secukinumab use in Thai patients with psoriasis is limited. This study evaluates its effectiveness and safety in routine clinical practice. The PROMPT study is an ongoing, multicenter, 2-year observational study involving patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PsO), ac…
Therapeutics in Axial Spondyloarthritis: A Review of What Works - SPARTAN 2026 Annual Meeting Proceedings.
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) encompasses a broad disease spectrum, and the management landscape has expanded considerably over the past two decades. This review synthesizes the current evidence on pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions in axSpA, addressing both symptom control and…
Altered hippocampal subfield functional connectivity and its association with back pain in axial spondyloarthritis: a multimodal neuroimaging study.
To investigate hippocampal subfield volumes and resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and to assess their clinical relevance. In this cross-sectional study, 39 patients with axSpA and 41 healthy controls (HCs) underwent 3-T structural T1-weigh…
Differentiation of axial spondyloarthritis-related lesions from degenerative lesions on Na[18F]Fluoride PET/CT in a longitudinal dataset of patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis.
To investigate longitudinal changes of Na[18F]Fluoride uptake in the axial skeleton of patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) during biological treatment, focusing on r-axSpA and degenerative (D) lesions. 20 active r-axSpA patients were included. Na[18F]Fluoride Positron Emissi…
Characterising axial psoriatic arthritis in clinical practice: a retrospective analysis from the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Registry.
To determine the proportion of axial psoriatic arthritis (axPsA), describe how it is diagnosed in clinical practice, and identify clinical and demographic characteristics independently associated with axPsA. A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted using data from patients regis…
Exploring potential association between bisphenol A exposure and spondyloarthritis: Integrative evidence from molecular analyses and NHANES.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA), including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), involves complex interactions between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors. Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical with immunomodulatory properties, may influence immune regulation,…
