New Insights into the Pathogenesis of Giant Cell Arteritis: Mechanisms Involved in Maintaining Vascular Inflammation
TL;DR: Several defects in the immune regulatory mechanisms probably contribute to chronic vascular inflammation in GCA: a defect in the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway, a quantitative and qualitative Treg deficiency, the implication of resident cells, the role of GM-CSF and IL-6, the implications of the NOTCH pathway and the roles of mucosal-associated invariant T cells and tissue-resident memory T cells.

TL;DR: Combined cranial and extracranial PET/CT showed very high diagnostic accuracy for the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis with a limited increase in examination time.

TL;DR: Specific comorbidities, particularly chronic heart failure and diabetes mellitus, are more strongly associated with increased MSU crystal deposition in knees and feet/ankles than gout duration, regardless of serum urate level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized myocardial infarction (MI) in a GCA cohort, and compared the GCA and non-GCA population affected by MI.

Mimickers of Large Vessel Giant Cell Arteritis
TL;DR: The main differential diagnoses to be considered regarding large vessel vasculitis are proposed, including cranial GCA, large-vessel GCA and associated polymyalgia rheumatica.
