Clinical Insights into Axial Spondyloarthritis: Rheumatology Drugs at a Glance, Part 5
Over the past few years, biosimilars and other new drugs have been introduced to treat rheumatic illnesses. Some of the conditions we treat have numerous drug options; others have few or only off-label options. This series, Rheumatology Drugs at a Glance, provides streamlined information on the administration of biologic, biosimilar and other medications used to…
Risk of IBD in Patients with Psoriasis, PsA & Ankylosing Spondylitis Starting IL-17 Inhibitors
In February A&R, Penso et al. reported on the results of their study, which explored whether patients with psoriasis, PsA and AS have a higher risk of developing IBD when treated with an IL-17 inhibitor compared with apremilast, a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, or etanercept, a TNF inhibitor.
Updates on JAK Inhibitor Safety, COVID-19 Vaccination in Immunosuppressed Patients & More
ACR CONVERGENCE 2021—The ACR Convergence 2021 meeting reflected the continued advancement of science and practical research in the field of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Among the most important topics this year in RA was the evolution of the risk-benefit profile of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, for which new safety data emerged in a series of related…
Management of Adults with JIA: Uveitis, MAS & More
Mara L. Becker, MD, MSCE, discusses how important it is to effectively treat juvenile idiopathic arthritis at an early stage to improve long-term outcomes in adulthood.
How to Find Space for Scholarship in Private Practice
A key question many graduating rheumatology fellows face each year is: Are you interested in pursuing a career in academic medicine or in private practice? Although the two tracks are not mutually exclusive, it is true that juggling the demands of scholarly work, medical education and a busy clinical workload is by no means easy….
Case Report: Rheumatoid Arthritis Complicated by Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia
Large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia is a rare, chronic, lymphoproliferative disorder of cytotoxic T cell or natural killer cell lineage with an annual incidence of 0.72 cases per 1 million people in the U.S.1 The most common subÂtype of LGL leukemia, T-LGL leukemia, follows an indolent disease course and accounts for approximately 85% of cases….
TNF Inhibitors & Pregnancy: How Well Does the Treatment Guidance Work?
Ghalandari et al. sought to validate the guidance outlined by EULAR for the use of anti-rheumatic drugs during pregnancy, finding that following its guidance for tumor necrosis factor inhibitors led to no or low concentrations of these agents in cord blood.
Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment Update

The treatment of PsA…
The Latest Psoriatic Arthritis Management Insights
An overview of the research to date and the ways in which such evidence can be used to guide the treatment of patients was presented at the 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting in a session titled Optimizing Outcomes in Psoriatic Arthritis: A Domain-Based Strategy. In the years since this presentation, additional research has helped supply greater…
