BackgroundNailfold capillary microscopy (NCM) is a cornerstone in the diagnosis of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) in adulthood. Although Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is very common in childhood, studies on diagnostic methods to differentiate between primary RP (PRP) and secondary RP (SRP) at a young age are scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the...

The translation of research findings into clinical practice is challenging, especially fields like in pediatric rheumatology, where the evidence base is limited, there are few clinical trials, and the conditions are rare and heterogeneous. Implementation science methodologies have been shown to reduce the research- to- practice gap in other clinica...

Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) are a group of monogenic diseases characterized by disordered innate immunity, which causes excessive activation of inflammatory pathways. Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor 12-related autoinflammatory disease (NLRP12-AID) is a newly identified SAID and a rare autosomal dominant dis...

ObjectivesJuvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common childhood rheumatic disease. Intra-articular corticosteroids joint injection (IAJI), with triamcinolone hexacetonide (TH) or triamcinolone acetonide (TA), is an effective additional treatment for oligo and polyarticular JIA. Previous studies have shown the benefits of TH over TA; howe...

BackgroundFew published data describe how joint involvement, the most prevalent extraintestinal manifestation, affects quality of life (QoL) of children with Crohn’s disease (CD). Arthritis and arthralgia rates in pediatric CD patients are reportedly 3–24% and 17–22%, respectively, but studies on pre-emptive and systematic screening of joint involv...

In the current preliminary study, serum proteins associated with pain severity were identified in JIA patients. Pain-associated proteins had functional roles predominantly in immune or inflammatory processes. Correlations of pain-associated proteins with ESR and altered CNS morphology were also observed with ESR and altered CNS morphology were also...
