2019 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria for IgG4-Related Disease
The American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism developed and validated an international set of classification criteria for IgG4-related disease.
Temporal Ultrasound May Be Useful in Giant Cell Arteritis Disease Monitoring
Researchers suggest that temporal ultrasound may be an appealing choice for monitoring disease activity in patients with cranial giant cell arteritis treated with tocilizumab.
Decrease in Giant Cell Arteritis Relapse Risk With Elevated Platelet Count, CC Promoter Polymorphism
Researchers studied the risk factors for relapse, including prednisolone clearance and glucocorticoid-induced transcript 1 promoter polymorphism (rs37972), in patients with giant cell arteritis.
