Researchers investigated whether patients with SLE receive lipid testing and statin prescriptions comparably with patients with diabetes.

Recognizing the increased need for antibiotic stewardship, the researchers consider HAAT to be a useful alternative to systemic antibiotic therapy that is effective and well tolerated among women with inflammatory acne.

Researchers sought to determine the predictive value of tibiofemoral MRI, patellofemoral MRI, and KLG1 for the incidence of clinical or radiographic knee OA.

The study results suggest that hidradenitis suppurativa is both a cutaneous disease and a chronic systemic inflammatory condition.

Further research is warranted to clarify the role played by insulin resistance in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The management of asthma with short-acting beta-agonists was associated with reduced fertility rates in women, whereas treatment with inhaled corticosteroids or long-acting beta-agonists was not.

The use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs has no medium-term effect on the risk for spinal fractures among patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

In postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture, treatment with romosozumab for 12 months, followed by alendronate, was associated with significantly fewer hip fractures than treatment with alendronate alone.
