DOI: 10.1038/nrrheum.2017.193
Abstract: A stepwise dose increase of febuxostat was comparable to prophylactic low-dose colchicine for reducing flares in an open-label, randomized study of 241 patients with gout. Flares occurred in 20.8% of patients taking stepped-up (10 mg… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/iwj.13009
Abstract: Sudden‐onset immobilisation generates unexpected external forces over bony prominences and is a potential cause of pressure ulcers. Here, we report two cases of deep pressure ulcers in patients with acute monoarthritis as a result of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2018-eular.4775
Abstract: Background Several metabolic disturbances that reduce the activity of pyrophosphatases have been associated with development of calcium pyrophosphate crystal arthritis (CPPCA), but there is scarce data on their influence on clinical manifestations, as such disease-specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/annrheumdis-2019-eular.7407
Abstract: Background: Despite having passed more than fifty years after its initial description, essential questions for calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal disease, such as clinical spectrum, diagnosis or management schemes, remain unsolved. Acute flares often occurred during… read more here.

DOI: 10.2169/internalmedicine.0791-18
Abstract: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition (CPPD) disease is an inflammatory arthritis produced by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in articular and periarticular soft tissues. The clinical presentation associated with CPPD varies and is… read more here.

Prominent Inflammatory Features of Monocytes/Macrophages in Acute Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Arthritis: a Comparison with Acute Gouty Arthritis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Immune Network"
DOI: 10.4110/in.2019.19.e21
Abstract: Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals can present as acute inflammatory arthritis which is known as an acute CPP crystal arthritis. Although monocytes/macrophages have been shown to play a role in the initiation of crystal-mediated inflammatory responses,… read more here.
