    Canadian College of Rheumatology: Guidelines for the management of antirheumatic drugs for rheumatoid arthritis


    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, in which patients develop gradual destruction of joint cartilage and bone, eventually leading to joint deformity and loss of
    function.
    In recent years, with the prolongation of the course of the disease, the incidence of disability and functional limitations has continued to increase
    .
    Rational use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs is a key step
    in the management of RA.
    On July 15, the Canadian College of Rheumatology issued guidelines for the use of bDMARDs and tsDMARDs in the treatment of RA

    American College of Rheumatology (ACR): Guidelines for vaccination of patients with rheumatism and musculoskeletal disorders


    Infection prevention is essential in patient management in rheumatology patients due to the increased burden of infection due to immune disorders, comorbidities, and immunosuppressive therapy, and vaccines can prevent infection
    by inducing and/or enhancing protective immunity.
    In July 2022, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) updated its vaccination guidelines for patients with rheumatology and musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs) to provide evidence-based recommendations
    for vaccination for children and adults with RMDs.

    of the IL-6 pathway by anti-IL-6Rα antibodies or direct inhibition of IL-6 cytokines.
    On August 11, the "Consensus Statement on Blocking Interleukin-6 Receptors and Interleukin-6 under Inflammatory Conditions: Recent Progress" was released, based on the latest evidence and expert opinions, it gave guidance and recommendations on the clinical application of IL-6 inhibitors, covering nine diseases
    including rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular course and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu arteritis, and adult STILL.
    Pretreatment screening, safety, and contraindications
    for IL-6 inhibitors are also discussed.

    Expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of latent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in patients with rheumatic diseases


    Patients with rheumatic disease are at increased risk of immunocompromise, latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (LTBI) infection, and significantly increased risk of developing active tuberculosis, and clinicians need to be tested
    for LTBI in these eligible populations.
    To this end, domestic experts in the field of tuberculosis and rheumatic diseases jointly wrote and released the "Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Latent Infection in Patients with Rheumatic Diseases" (referred to as the consensus).

    Based on the epidemiology, evidence-based medical evidence and clinical research data of rheumatic diseases combined with LTBI in China, 10 recommendations are put forward for clinical reference
