Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of structural damage on functional disability in psoriatic arthritis

TL;DR: In PsA, structural damage, particularly JSN, has implications for physical function, and this needs to be considered when targeting functional outcomes in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rituximab dissociates the tight link between disease activity and joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

TL;DR: In early RA, progression of joint damage increases with increasing disease activity on MTX, which indicates that beyond cytokine blockade (TNF- and IL-6 inhibitors), also cell-directed therapy (anti-CD20 antibody) conveys profound anti-destructive effects and dissociates the link between disease activity and joint damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monotherapy with biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs in rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The challenges surrounding bDMARD therapy and the benefit/risk ratio of biologic monotherapy when compared with combination with a csDMARD will be discussed, and insights into these important issues are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treating rheumatic patients with a malignancy

TL;DR: The decision to treat a patient with a history of cancer immunosuppressively should be shared by the rheumatologist and the oncologist once the decision is established, because such patients need intensive and close monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of disease duration and prior disease-modifying antirheumatic drug use on treatment outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Number of prior DMARDs and disease duration affect responses to therapy in patients with established RA and, regardless of disease duration, has a limiting effect on the potential response to adalimumab therapy.
