B cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that depletes B-cells by binding to the CD20 surface antigen that has been approved for the treatment of RA. Its efficacy has been clearly demonstrated by different clinical trials and, recently, in long-term observational studies. The use of rituximab in clinical practice has highlighted its efficacy and safety over more than 5 years of treatment, as well as to try to understand the timing for retreatment of patients relapsing after a good initial response.

Summary: Early diagnosis and tight control improve outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis. This study compared the effectiveness and costs of an early arthritis clinic (EAC) with the current standard of care. The results showed that despite higher costs, the EAC reduced the number and length of hospitalizations and had higher adherence to quality-of-care guidelines.

Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are both influenced by inflammation and have a connection in their development and progression. This study compared the characteristics of RA patients with and without DM, and found that DM patients were older and more commonly male, with higher BMI and weight. They were also less likely to use glucocorticoids and had higher HAQ scores. The study also highlighted the association between DM and RA, suggesting systemic inflammation as an underlying condition for both diseases.

Summary: The study aims to analyze the differences in health resource consumption between biological off-patent originator drugs and biosimilars in real clinical practice, specifically in the rheumatology area. By utilizing assisted databases, the study evaluates the differences in terms of resource consumption related to the drugs under analysis. The findings indicate an underuse of biosimilar drugs in the sample population.

Summary: Biotechnological monoclonal antibodies and receptor antagonists have emerged as an alternative therapy for treating systemic inflammatory diseases. However, immunotherapies may lead to the development of immune-mediated disorders. Understanding the phenomenon of the 'compensatory immunological switch' can help manage these disorders and interpret the heterogeneity of certain chronic inflammatory conditions.

Summary: In the past 20 years, earlier diagnosis and more intensive management have significantly improved the prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in seropositive patients. However, seronegative rheumatoid arthritis remains surrounded by uncertainties, including its correct diagnosis, clinical phenotype, optimal treatment strategies, and relevant outcomes.

Reactogenicity, safety and disease flares following BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in patients with chronic immuneinflammatory arthritis treated with biological and targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti- rheumatic drugs

Summary: This study evaluated the safety of COVID-19 vaccination in rheumatic patients treated with biological and targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The results showed that the frequency and severity of systemic events after vaccination were similar to the general population, and no specific safety concerns emerged. Flares of the disease were reported by some patients, but most flares did not require treatment escalation or change.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adherence to conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) on the achievement of clinical remission in patients with new-onset inflammatory arthritis. The results showed that patients with higher adherence to csDMARDs were more likely to achieve clinical remission.
