TL;DR: Prevalence of uveitis in SpA seems to increase with disease duration and seems more likely to appear with HLA B27 positivity and heel pain, and Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies seemed to be more effective in the reduction of Uveitis flares.

TL;DR: It is concluded that a low percentage of patients with spondyloarthropathy have active disease requiring treatment with sulphasalazine despite the use of NSAIDs, and in this subgroup of patients sulphasAlazine seems to be of clinically relevant benefit in 59%; and this benefit does not seem to be correlated with either the precise diagnosis of spONDyloARthropathy or the amount of axial disease.

TL;DR: A scoring system for assessing anterior synovial abnormalities at arthroscopy in knee osteoarthritis is proposed and takes into account the intensity and the extent ofsynovial lesions.

TL;DR: It is suggested that SpA phenotype and geographical area are associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and the cardiovascular risk, observed in patients in the ASAS-COMOSPA cohort.

TL;DR: To determine agreement among the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria, a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by a r heumatologist, and other criteria previously used to classify arthritis are considered.
