The article, which is based on numerous studies, compares the characteristics of axial skeletal lesions in patients with the axial form of psoriatic arthritis (axPsA) and in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and discusses the possibilities of their diagnosis using radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including modern methods such as diffusion-weighted imaging, contrast-enhanced dynamic scanning and whole-body MRI.The main difficulty in diagnosing axPsA is that there is no universally accepted terminology or standardized diagnostic criteria, making it difficult to clearly distinguish axPsA from other forms of axial spondyloarthritis. Determining the first symptoms of axPsA not only helps to make a timely diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment, but also to monitor the activity of the disease and the dynamics of structural changes, which allows appropriate adjustment of the therapy needed to improve the quality of life of patients.","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":"405 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140454307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The International Expert Council, which discussed the possibility of introducing the principle of \"treatment to target\" to OA treatment, recognized the PASS (patient acceptable symptoms state) index as the most reasonable criterion for the successful treatment of this disease. However, according to several population studies, it is not possible to achieve a significant improvement in OA in 20–30% of patients. Factors that may be responsible for an inadequate response to the treatment of OA are severe structural changes in the joints, dysfunction of the nociceptive system (neuroplastic changes, central sensitization), psychoemotional disorders and comorbid pathologies. Therefore, the choice of therapeutic tactics in patients with OA who have moderate or severe pain should be individualized and take into account the phenotype of the disease, the characteristics of the clinical situation and the presence of comorbid pathologies. Leading experts in OA believe that the most rational approach to the management of this disease is a multidisciplinary, multimodal treatment that includes the complex use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local injection therapy, Symptomatic Slow Acting Drugs for Osteoarthritis (SYSADOA) and non-pharmacological approaches. There is currently a strong evidence base confirming the efficacy and safety of SYSADOA (particularly the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin). This allows us to consider SYSADOA as a mandatory component of OA treatment, regardless of stage, phenotype and concomitant pathology. A new direction of OA therapy is the use of native (undenatured) collagen preparations, the effect of which is associated with the formation of immunological tolerance to autoantigens of this protein and a reduction in the severity of chronic joint inflammation. Several clinical studies have confirmed the effectiveness of native collagen supplements. The appearance of a new dietary supplement containing native collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, B vitamins and ginger extract expands the possibilities of pharmaconutraceutical support for patients with OA.","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139170842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main suffering of patients is associated with pain: decrease in working capacity and quality of life, disability and severe psycho-emotional disturbances. The pathogenesis of musculoskeletal pain is complex and includes damage (due to an autoimmune process, mechanical or metabolic stress), inflammation, peripheral and central sensitization, degenerative processes (neoangiogenesis, heterotopic ossification, fibrosis), muscle tension, psychoemotional disorders (depression, anxiety), negative behavioral reactions. Pain treatment should be comprehensive and include pharmacotherapy as well as non-pharmacological therapy and rehabilitation methods.Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are at the forefront of pain treatment. They are effective, convenient and affordable, but can cause a wide range of complications. A personalized approach to pain management is therefore based on the choice of the “right” NSAID. Based on the balance between efficacy and safety, celecoxib can be considered the first choice. It has an extensive evidence base confirming its therapeutic potential in acute pain, osteoarthritis, chronic back pain, systemic rheumatic diseases and other pathologies, as well as a relatively low risk of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular complications. The prescription of celecoxib should be personalized: for severe pain and systemic rheumatic diseases, treatment should be started with a dose of 400 mg/day (600 mg can be used on the first day), followed by a transition to a maintenance dose of 200 mg/day once pain control is achieved.","PeriodicalId":18651,"journal":{"name":"Modern Rheumatology Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138956095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Duplex ultrasound (USDS) of not only temporal but also axillary arteries is recommended for GCA and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for AT. Alternative methods for GCA are MRI or positron emission tomography (PET) in combination with computed tomography (CT) and intravenous administration of fluorodeoxyglucose labelled with the short-lived fluoride isotope 18 (FDG-PET/CT), and for AT – FDG-PET/CT, CT or ultrasound examination.

The majority of patients were women – 87.8%, mean age – 46.3±13.2 years, median disease duration – 6 [3; 14] years. 80.4% of patients received synthetic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs, 23.9% – biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), 36.5% – glucocorticoids (GC), 82.8% – nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).Results and discussion. According to the survey, the severity of joint pain (according to a numerical rating scale, NRS 0–10) was on average 5.3±2.6, fatigue – 6.2±2.6, GAH – 5.4±2.4, GADA – 5.4±2.7, median anxiety – 5 [3; 8], depression – 5 [2; 7], limitation of daily activity – 5 [3; 7].

The open prospective observational study involved 35 patients (mainly women) aged 50–75 years with stage II–III KOA. All patients were prescribed intramuscular therapy with a CS solution (Mucosat® solution), with the first three injections of 1 ml, followed by 2 ml every second day (25 injections in total).
