Flip-up Synthesis associated with Polysubstituted Quinolin-3-amines through Oxidative Cyclization of 2-(2-Isocyanophenyl)acetonitriles along with Organoboron Reagents.
Rituximab combined with MTX was effective in PU. Interferon-β was superior to MTX, albeit with more adverse events in IU with ME. CsA was similar to cyclophosphamide (Cyc) in Behçet uveitis. Tacrolimus was safer and similar to CsA. Cyc was effective in serpiginoid choroiditis, but when combined with azathioprine in PU, but did not improve VA. Secukinumab did not prevent NINA uveitis recurrences, although intravenously it showed a higher response rate than when used subcutaneously.Daclizumab did not show any benefits in Behçet NINA uveitis.

Several IMDs and their combinations can be useful in treating NINA uveitis. The available studies were heterogeneous regarding patient characteristics and outcomes.

To evaluate the clinical relevance of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in patients with lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).

EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were searched from inception to March 2020 for clinical studies reporting on the association between of aPL [IgG/IgM anticardiolipin (aCL) and lupus anticoagulant (LA)] and PAD.

We determined the pooled prevalence (PP) of patients positive for aPL in PAD or the PP of PAD in patients positive for aPL; we employed Peto's odds ratio with random effect for the meta-analysis.

Twenty-one studies comprising 6,057 patients were evaluated in patients with PAD, the PP of IgG aCL was 12% vs 4.1% in those without, IgM aCL was 13.2% vs 2.1%, and LA 13.3% vs 3.3%, respectively. The PP of patients with LA was greater in critical limb ischemia than in the control group (19.3% vs 4.2%). Also, the PP of patients with LA was greater in the failed than in the successful revascularisation group (35.8% vs 15.8%). The PP of post-procedural revascularisation failures was similar in the groups given or not given oral anticoagulation (59.2% vs 61.9%).

All the aPL related to PAD regardless of diagnostic definition used, whereas LA related also to critical limb ischaemia and failed revascularisation. Data expressed as percentage of participants positive for aPL limit the interpretation of these relationships.

The management of wrist and hand's tenosynovitis remains challenging and needs to be individualized. Physical modalities are accepted among conservative treatments, but there is currently no systematic assessment of their role and efficacy. The aim of this review is to analyze the literature including studies dealing with the use of physical modalities in De Quervain disease, Dupuytren disease and trigger finger, in order to obtain indications for everyday clinical practice.

A systematic literature search of the following databases was conducted MEDLINE (through PubMed), Cochrane Library, PEDro and Scopus. All kind of papers, except for case reports and case series, were included, due to the small amount of scientific evidence in literature about this topic. The inclusion criteria were papers regarding the effectiveness of conservative treatment with physical modalities of adult humans affected by De Quervain disease, Dupuytren disease and trigger finger. The review included articles in English language p further define evidence-based practice for patients with trigger finger, Dupuytren disease, and De Quervain disease.
Axial spondyloarthropathy (axSpA) is an inflammatory arthritis which affects the sacroiliac joints and the spine. Many females affected are of childbearing age. Studies on effects of pregnancy on axSpA disease activity and medication use have been limited, with divergent conclusions.

To review literature on axSpA in pregnancy to determine the effect of disease on pregnancy outcomes.

A systematic review of case-control trials, observational studies, cross sectional studies and case series (n>5) on axSpA in pregnancy. EMBASE, Medline (OVID), CINAHL, Maternity and Infant Care (MIDIRS online), and Web of Science were searched for keywords. Two reviewers reviewed articles to determine suitability for inclusion. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to assess risk of bias. Data extraction was performed using a standardized template to streamline data to allow comparison and meta-analysis.

Search strategy returned 884 records, 130 full text articles were assessed for eligibility. Eighteen studies with a totmpared to the general population. There is a trend towards increased prevalence of pre-eclampsia, IUGR and certain fetal complications. Ongoing development of national registries could help to better understand axSpA in pregnancy.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global health problem. We, as the EMERGE (EMErging RheumatoloGists and rEsearchers) group of PReS (Pediatric Rheumatology European Society) analyzed how the pandemic has affected pediatric rheumatology practice.

An online survey was developed to assess changes in pediatric rheumatology practice due to the pandemic. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

From 70 countries, 493 pediatric rheumatologists (80.3% in pediatric rheumatology practice for ≥5 years) responded to the survey. Around 70% disagreed that the pandemic led to reduced prescription of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, conventional synthetic and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Almost half were more likely to taper corticosteroids faster. One-fifth hesitated to switch the major immunosuppressant during a flare. Patients encountering difficulties obtaining hydroxychloroquine and tocilizumab due to shortages were noted by 192 (38.9%) and 44 (8.9%), respectively. Twenty to 30% indicat in use of virtual technologies, and concerns about the use of immunosuppressive therapies. An increased number of patients with Kawasaki disease/hyperinflammation mentioned by the respondents is noteworthy.
