Introduction: Patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), psoriatic arthritis (PAs), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) , systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and primary vasculitides, have a high risk of herpes zoster (HZ) infection. This increased susceptibility is caused by a deficient cell-mediated immune response due to the underlying disease and glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive treatments that impair the T-cell response, including conventional and unconventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biological agents. In this context, the recent availability of a recombinant vaccine against HZ (RZV or Shingrix®), composed of recombinant VZV glycoprotein E (gE) and the AS01B adjuvant system (HZ/su), is a major progress regarding safety for immunosuppressed patients. Its effectiveness, however, has been clearly demonstrated for non-immunosuppressed patients and in selected populations of immunocompromised individuals. There are no prospective controlled studies evaluating the immunogenicity of RZV and its impact on the activity of the underlying disease, as well as its safety in patients with ARDs at high-risk for HZ. Hypothesis: RZV has a good safety profile, including with respect to underlying rheumatic disease activity, in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ. Objectives: Primary: To assess the short-term safety profile in relation to underlying disease activity in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV compared to unvaccinated patients. Secondary: To evaluate the general safety of the vaccine in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ immunized with RZV and non-immunosuppressed control subjects (CG); the humoral and cellular immunogenicity of RZV in patients with ARDs at high risk of HZ compared to CG; the influence of disease treatment on vaccine response; the 12-month persistence of humoral immunogenicity and incident cases of HZ. Specific studies will also be carried out to evaluate the effect of drug withdrawal (methotrexate-MTX and mycophenolate mofetil-MMF) after vaccination in increasing the immune response in patients with ARDs with controlled underlying disease.
A randomized controlled study comparing brief dietary intervention with a personal, tailored dietary advice (60 min) on change in LDL-c and change in diet.
Spondyloarthritis is a potentially serious disease with reduced life expectancy. Even if the clinical presentation is eminently variable from one patient to another, the most frequently encountered manifestations such as inflammatory spinal pain, peripheral arthritis or even extra-articular involvement of the disease all represent disabling symptoms, origin of pain, temporary or in some cases permanent functional incapacity, but also general repercussions on daily life (asthenia, reactive depressive syndrome, etc.) which require a multidisciplinary approach, involving several medical, paramedical and other stakeholders, The objective of treatment is to improve quality of life, to control symptoms and inflammation, to prevent structural damage, particularly in peripheral damage, to preserve or restore functional capacities, autonomy and social participation of patients with spondyloarthritis. In France, the main professional reference for shiatsu is the Syndicat des Professionnels de Shiatsu, which proposes the following definition to define shiatsu: Shiatsu (finger pressure in Japanese) is an energetic manual discipline addressing the individual as a whole. Shiatsu is part of personal assistance. He receives himself, dressed in soft clothes. Shiatsu is a discipline of well-being and prevention for better health. Its objective is to correct both the energy flow (ki, blood, lymph, etc.) and the body structure (muscles, tendons, etc.) by applying rhythmic pressure to the whole body, most often with the inches. It is for everyone and at all ages. Its principle of action is to restore the free flow of Ki (qi, Energy) in the body. Shiatsu is a set of pressures performed mainly with the thumbs and the palms of the hands on different areas of the body, often taking up the points of the acupuncture meridians. Shiatsu pressures can be (Ishizuka 1993; Kagotani 1984; Okamoto 2016): - mobile in a given place and lasting 3 to 5 seconds: a phase of increasing pressure followed by a short holding time then release, - static: same phases but with a hold time of up to approximately 1 minute or even longer. To date, there is no treatment specifically targeting fatigue in axSpA. Indeed, the underlying mechanisms of fatigue in SpA remain poorly understood, and could for example involve pro-inflammatory cytokines and the inflammatory process, and/or psychological distress. The effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions and in particular the care provided by shiatsu practitioners have not been the subject of studies evaluating, according to the criteria of evidence-based medicine, the benefit of this practice, particularly in the context of treatment of spondyloarthritis.
Scurvy is an almost forgotten carential pathology, caused by a deep vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) deficiency, a priori exceptional in industrialized countries. According to the French National Authority for Health standards, hypovitaminosis C is defined as a plasma vitamin C level of less than 23 μmol/L. This deficiency would affect 5 to 10% of the general population in industrialized countries and from 17% (clinical scurvy) to 47% (biological hypovitaminosis C) of vulnerable populations (malnutrition, hospitalized patients...). Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis. It plays a cofactor role in the synthesis of catecholamines precursors and takes action in synthesis of certain amino acids. In rheumatology, pain is a recurring reason for consultation. In a context of treated chronic inflammatory rheumatism (RIC), while most of patients seem in remission or in reduced activity of their disease, all real-life studies show that 30 to 40% of them complain of residual pain, 70% of chronic fatigue and 20-25% of symptoms similar to secondary fibromyalgia. Currently, authors suggest the interest of vitamin C analgesic properties, especially in musculoskeletal pain, due to the role of ascorbic acid in neurotransmitters. Vitamin C would act as a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and regulatory metalloenzymes. Thus, the authors suggest the potential of vitamin C in an analgesic mechanism involving the biosynthesis of opioid peptides.
This is a proof-of-concept study. The main goal is to evaluate if the accelerometry signal recorded from patients with arthritis in different disease activity stages, allows for assessment of the activity status. It will also be analysed if the accelerometry signal can be classified as registered in arthritis patients vs. registered in healthy control. Arthritis subjects will be recruited from the outpatients' clinic of the Rheumatology Department Helse Førde, Førde, Norway. Healthy control subjects will be recruited from the same administrative area as the patients and will be invited to participate via announcement on the Helse Forde Medical Trust website. Four visits to the site are planned for the arthritis group and one for the control group. The patients will be recruited in the active phase of arthritis as defined in the inclusion criteria. The study's secondary objective is to develop methods for analysing the accelerometry signal in arthritis patients.
This is a research study involving humans, of the interventional type with minimal risks and constraints (RIPH2). It is a bicentric, non randomized prospective study aiming to better understand the mechanisms of the response to anti-IL-23 biologics in Spondyloarthritis patients attending the rheumatology department of hospital Cochin and Saint Antoine (APHP).
The aim of this study is to constitute a biobank for patients followed in the Rheumatology center of Toulouse University Hospital for a chronic inflammatory rheumatism including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis(SpA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or a chronic bone disease including osteoporosis in order to identify biomarkers associated with therapeutic response.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of inflammatory rheumatic disorders that mainly manifested by inflammatory pain of the spine, pelvis and sometimes limbs. Classically, SpA has been classified into several subtypes, such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated. Several studies have shown specific changes in the gut microbiota during SpA. A recent, uncontrolled study suggested that the therapeutic response to anti-TNFα (Tumor Necrosis Factor) therapy could be predicted by analysis of the gut microbiota. The purpose of the study MEDIBIOTE 3 is to confirm that in SpA, the composition of the intestinal microbiota at the initiation of treatment is predictive of the response to treatment with biotherapy (anti-TNFα / anti-IL17).
