Objectives: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a heterogeneous autoimmune condition needing targeted treatment approaches and improved understanding of molecular mechanisms driving clinical phenotypes. We utilised exploratory proteomics from a longitudinal North American cohort of patients with new-onset JDM to identify biological pathways at disease onset and follow-up, tissue-specific disease activity, and myositis-specific autoantibody (MSA) status.

Methods: We measured 3072 plasma proteins (Olink panel) in 56 patients with JDM within 12 weeks of starting treatment (from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry and 3 additional sites) and 8 paediatric controls.

Objectives: To describe the main features and the clinical management of a cohort of patients with immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM).

Methods: We conducted an observational, monocentric, retrospective study of IMNM patients diagnosed in the Neuromuscular Unit of a tertiary hospital in Madrid (Spain) between 2013 and 2021.

Results: Sixteen IMNM cases were diagnosed, with a median age of 71.

Serological clusters in systemic lupus erythematosus and its clinical and prognostic implications: A longitudinal cohort study.

Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder characterized by multi-organ involvement and variable clinical manifestations. Recurrent clinical patterns suggest distinct phenotypes, where cluster analysis of autoantibodies could identify prognostic subtypes.

Objectives: To define and describe serological clusters and their clinical-epidemiological characteristics, as well as their association with comorbidities, disease activity measures, severity, and damage.

Necrotizing autoimmune myopathy (NAM) is an uncommon inflammatory muscle disease marked by progressive weakness and elevated muscle enzymes. In some individuals, it may develop in association with statin use, particularly when specific autoantibodies are present. We report the case of a 65-year-old man who experienced worsening, painless proximal muscle weakness and significant creatine kinase (CK) elevation shortly after resuming statin therapy following a temporary discontinuation.
