Journal: A novel approach with tofacitinib for the management of keratoderma blennorrhagicum in reactive arthritis: a case report. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 17, 2024 Subsequent use of adalimumab and secukinumab resulted in worsening skin rash, prompting a switch to tofacitinib, leading to a remarkable improvement in pustular eruptions after 20 days of treatment. This case demonstrates successful application of tofacitinib in treating severe keratoderma blennorrhagicum refractory to conventional DMARDs and biologics, offering insights into JAK inhibition for challenging rheumatic diseases with skin involvement.

Journal: Plasma Cytokines for the Prediction of the Effectiveness of TNF? Inhibitors Etanercept, Infliximab, and Adalimumab in the Treatment of Psoriasis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 13, 2024 The baseline levels of VEGF, sCD40L, and ICAM1, as well as IL20, could serve as potential predictors of treatment effectiveness using TNFa inhibitors. However, this hypothesis requires confirmation with a larger patient population.

Journal: A case of juvenile-onset ankylosing spondylitis effectively treated with tumour necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor agents. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 8, 2024 The bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) value was 8.0 at the time of induction and 3.1 at 6?months after the introduction of adalimumab (at a dose of 40?mg)...The BASDAI value was 2.6 at 6?months, 2.7 at 1?year, and 1.8 at 1.5?years after the introduction of infliximab, indicating that the patient had progressed well without any adverse events...TNF inhibitors were effective in treating juvenile ankylosing spondylitis in the present case without any adverse events. This case is notable because juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis is one of the reasons for severe lumbago since childhood and because TNF inhibitors were administered promptly after diagnosis.

Journal: Delayed Ustekinumab and Adalimumab Responders Have Similar Outcomes as Early Responders in Biologic-Na (Pubmed Central) - Jul 3, 2024 Among patients with moderate-to-severe CD, early and delayed responders to adalimumab and ustekinumab have similar 1-year clinical outcomes. Biomarker decline can be observed through the initial 8 weeks of therapy in patients who will eventually be delayed responders, which may help differentiate from nonresponders.

Journal: Refractory Crohn's Disease Responsive to Dietary Therapy: A Case Report. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 28, 2024 In conclusion, for patients whose disease is refractory to different treatments, or who develop antibodies to the medication, AIDs may offer a solution to reduce disease symptoms and progression. Education of healthcare professionals and patients alike is vital in order for Crohn's patients to gain the benefits from dietary therapy.

Journal: Chronic TNF in the aging microenvironment exacerbates Tet2-loss-of-function myeloid expansion. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 26, 2024 Examination of human rheumatoid arthritis patients with clonal hematopoiesis revealed that hematopoietic cells carrying certain mutations, including in TET2, may be sensitive to reduced TNF bioactivity following blockade with adalimumab...To our knowledge, this is the first evidence to demonstrate that TNF has a causal role in driving TET2-mutant CHIP in vivo. These findings highlight TNF as a candidate therapeutic target to control TET2-mutant CHIP.

Journal: Alleviation of severe chronic arthritic pain using polyvalent immunoglobulins (KMP01): Two case reports. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 25, 2024 Further research is warranted to explore the implications of these findings for treatment strategies and prognostic assessments. Findings from two case reports support the rationale for using polyvalent immunoglobulins as an effective and safe alternative in arthritis patients receiving standard treatments, in particular, methotrexate and TNF-?-blocking agents.
