Filter by:The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases has not yet been widely reported, and has been evaluated only in symptomatic patient samples. The proportion of asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients is unknown, in patients who share common symptoms with CoV-2-SARS infection. Our objective is to describe the prevalence of seroconversion to CoV-2-SARS by consecutive screening in routine care of patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatism with serological testing
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are a new class of molecules available to the therapeutic arsenal for chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.The tolerance profile of this new class needs to be better defined and its use in real life further established. The French Society of Rheumatologists intends to coordinate a prospective national registry study for this follow-up. This registry will include at least 1500 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and 150 patients with psoriatic arthritis from the start of treatment with JAK inhibitor and then followed for 5 years. This registry is a longitudinal, multicentre, observational registry study. The objective of this national registry is to get a better understanding of the safety profiles of JAK inhibitors and get knowledge of their use in daily practice in order to optimize this use and potentially integrate JAK inhibitors into personalised medicine strategies. This registry will generate efficacy data, especially therapeutic maintenance, observation, allowing inter-registry comparisons with other biologic compounds in the French population, and can be aggregated with other similar registries in other countries.
Background: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) are prone to malnutrition for several reasons. The diseases and treatment can cause reduced intake and absorption of nutrients and the inflammatory processes may cause an increased demand for nutrients, especially proteins. Studies report that nutritional status can affect disease activity. Dietary supplement of 3-4 gram omega-3 has shown beneficial effect upon disease activity in patients with IRD. Aim: To investigate whether improved dietary intake with and without supplements of omega-3 will affect disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA). Hypothesis 1: A systematic change of diet in line with the Norwegian dietary guidelines, which will result in increased intake of, among other nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids and complete protein, as well as reduced intake of saturated fat and sugar, will improve nutritional status and reduce disease activity. Hypothesis 2: A systematic change of diet (as above), included a high dose of omega-3 will further improve nutritional status and reduce disease activity compared with placebo. Design: A DB-RCT-study will be conducted. All patients will receive individualized dietary guidance by a clinical dietician for 12 weeks, before randomization to supplements of omega-3 or placebo, for 24 weeks. The supplement will be blinded for the participants, researchers and physicians. Clinical implications: The study will investigate the effect of improved diet and nutrition on treatment offered to patients with IRD to provide more evidence-based knowledge, and thus specific dietary guidelines for patients with IRD. In addition, the study might increase the understanding of the role of omega-3 in the pathogenesis of inflammation.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether immunosuppressive therapies used by patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases have an impact on the viral load and the humoral and cellular responses during viral infection with SarSCoV2, compared to members of their family cluster infected with the same viral strain.
An observational study aiming to assess the serological profile of SARS-Cov2 patients with systemic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren syndrome, sarcoidosis, inflammatory myopathies, Behçet's disease, Rheumatoid arthritis and Spondyloarthritis
There is a lack of knowledge among patients concerning their treatment with bDMARDs. To increase knowledge and safety skills, patient education is essential. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a pharmacist's educational interview on on knowledge and safety skills to bDMARDs in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of cervical stabilization exercises on cervical positioning error in spondyloarthritis patients.
The aim of this study is to explore the effect of a low starch diet (reduction of at least 40%) in the gut bacteria modulation, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, and its relation to disease activity, functional impairment and quality of life in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
This was a cross-sectional study conducted at National center for rheumatic diseases, Nepal on SpA patient refractory to initial treatment with conventional anti rheumatic drugs. Patients taking TNFi (tumor necrosis factor inhibitor- adalimumab or etanercept) or tofacitinib were included. Baseline demographic, socio-economic, clinical data were recorded.
Preliminary report have demonstrated that methotrexate induces an anti bio-medicament tolerization whan administrated just before the first administration of the bio-medicament. Once this tolerization is obtained it seems useless to continue the methotrexate because this treatment has no efficacity in cases of spondyloarthritis.
