Objectives. Although clinicians recognize hip involvement, which frequently leads to replacement surgery, as an important feature of AS, data on the epidemiology, nature disease and therapeutic strategies are scarce. We aimed describe epidemiology clinical radiological involvement define risk factors for surgery in AS patients.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains difficult to diagnose before irreversible damage sacroiliac joint is noticeable. Circulating microRNAs have demonstrated serve as diagnostic tools for several human diseases. Here, we analysed plasma identify potential AS biomarkers. Higher expression levels of microRNA (miR)-146a-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-151a-3p and miR-22-3p, lower miR-150-5p, miR-451a were found in versus healthy donors. Interestingly, higher miR-146a-5p, miR-151a-3p, miR-22-3p was also...

Objective. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is generally observed in young patients but can occur later life or persons ≥ 50 years of age. Our objective was to characterize the clinical features late-onset AS a large multicenter national cohort. Methods. We studied National Registry Spondyloarthritis Spanish Society Rheumatology (REGISPONSER database) cohort (n = 1257), whom 3.5% had onset at age versus control group with &lt; years. Results. There were no differences between and early-onset...

<h3>Background</h3> The advent of anti-TNFα drugs has considerably improved medical management in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, although it been reported to be ineffective a fraction them. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that act as fine tuning regulators gene expression. Targeting miRNAs by gain or loss function approaches have brought therapeutic effects various disease models. <h3>Objectives</h3> To investigate serum miRNA levels during the induction therapy RA...

Objectives To characterise splicing machinery (SM) alterations in leucocytes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to assess its influence on their clinical profile therapeutic response. Methods Leucocyte subtypes from 129 RA 29 healthy donors (HD) were purified, 45 selected SM elements (SME) evaluated by quantitative PCR-array based microfluidic technology (Fluidigm). Modulation anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) therapy underlying regulatory mechanisms assessed. Results An altered...
