In association with connective tissue disease it is most commonly seen complicating Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and, less often, Sjogren's syndrome. Here, we report a 25-year-old woman who developed SLE in 1998. In May 2013 she presented with urticarial vasculitis; her skin biopsy was consistent with leukocytoclastic vasculitis. She also developed bilateral uveitis. She had most of the clinical and laboratory characteristics of hypocomplementic urticarial vasculitis syndrome (HUVS) which is difficult to be differentiated from SLE. She was treated with high-dose prednisone, Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), colchicine, and Dapsone but failed. We decided to give her Rituximab (RTX), her urticarial vasculitis and uveitis symptoms improved significantly. Unfortunately, later on she presented with severe discoid lupus. We started her on thalidomide and responded well. Our case highlights that Rituximab is a good option for severe refractory urticarial vasculitis and thalidomide is effective in treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), and can be used safely in specialist rheumatological practice.</p>","PeriodicalId":10443,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Medicine Insights.

The degree of osteoarthritis was determined using the Tönnis grade from the x-ray image. The cartilage morphology, intensity changes of bone marrow on MRI (subchondral bone marrow lesions [BMLs]), osteophytes, joint effusions, and paralabral cysts were scored based on the Hip Osteoarthritis MRI Scoring System (HOAMS). The cross-sectional area of the psoas major muscle at the level of the iliac crest was measured on CT, and the psoas index (PI; the cross-sectional area ratio of the psoas major muscle to the lumbar 4/5 intervertebral disc) was calculated to correct for the difference in physique.

Medical cannabis has emerged as a treatment alternative for managing these patients and there has been a rise in the number of randomized clinical trials in recent years; therefore, a systematic review of the evidence was warranted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To analyze the evidence surrounding the benefits and harms of medical cannabinoids in the treatment of chronic, non-cancer-related pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design: &lt;/strong&gt;Systematic review with meta-analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data sources: &lt;/strong&gt;Medline, Embase, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Databases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eligibility criteria: &lt;/strong&gt;English language randomized clinical trials of cannabinoids for the treatment of chronic, non-cancer-related pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data extraction and synthesis: &lt;/strong&gt;Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. All stages were conducted independently by a team of 6 reviewers. Data were pooled through meta-analysis with different durations of treatment (2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months) and stratified by route of administration (smoked, oromucosal, oral), conditions, and type of cannabinoids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Main outcomes and measures: &lt;/strong&gt;Patient-reported pain and adverse events (AEs).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Thirty-six trials (4006 participants) were included, examining smoked cannabis (4 trials), oromucosal cannabis sprays (14 trials), and oral cannabinoids (18 trials). Compared with placebo, cannabinoids showed a significant reduction in pain which was greatest with treatment duration of 2 to 8 weeks (weighted mean difference on a 0-10 pain visual analogue scale -0.68, 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.96 to -0.40, &lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt; &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; = 8%, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt; &lt; .00001; n = 16 trials). When stratified by route of administration, pain condition, and type of cannabinoids, oral cannabinoids had a larger reduction in pain compared with placebo relative to oromucosal and smoked formulations but the difference was not significant (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;[interaction] &gt; .05 in all the 3 durations of treatment); cannabinoids had a smaller reduction in pain due to multiple sclerosis compared with placebo relative to other neuropathic pain (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;[interaction] = .05) within 2 weeks and the difference was not significant relative to pain due to rheumatic arthritis; nabilone had a greater reduction in pain compared with placebo relative to other types of cannabinoids longer than 2 weeks of treatment but the difference was not significant (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;[interaction] &gt; .05). Serious AEs were rare, and similar across the cannabinoid (74 out of 2176, 3.4%) and placebo groups (53 out of 1640, 3.2%). There was an increased risk of non-serious AEs with cannabinoids compared with placebo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/s","PeriodicalId":10443,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Medicine Insights.
