Apr 1st, 2021 - An increased risk of hematological malignancies (HM) has been reported in giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients. Our study aimed to investigate the incidence and the type of HM occurring in GCA. All patients with GCA and HM living in Côte D'Or (Fran...

Mar 20th, 2021 - To characterize the epidemiology of temporal artery biopsy-positive (TAB+) giant cell arteritis (GCA), including trends in incidence, seasonal variation, and prevalence in Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden. All histopathology reports of TAB...

Feb 18th, 2021 - Colour-doppler ultrasonography is the first measure to allow objective bedside assessment of Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA). This paper discusses the evidence using the OMERACT filter. Consensus definitions for ultrasonography changes were agreed by D...

Feb 18th, 2021 - Frozen section temporal artery biopsy (TAB) may prevent a contralateral biopsy from being performed. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of TAB frozen vs permanent section pathology results for giant cell arteritis (GCA) and determine the ...

Jan 28th, 2021 - Bilateral optic disc swelling is an important clinical sign for potentially life-threatening and sight-threatening conditions, with the most common being raised intracranial pressure and pseudopapillitis. Perhexiline-related and amiodarone-related...

Feb 23rd, 2021 - Positive findings from frozen sections of a first temporal artery biopsy can effectively identify giant cell arteritis, ruling out in those cases the need to perform a second biopsy on the contralateral side and arguing against the use of simultan...

Aug 31st, 2020 - A new retrospective analysis has found 1.5 cm to 2 cm to be the optimal length of a temporal artery biopsy for detecting giant cell arteritis. Longer lengths did not yield enough improvement in diagnosis to justify the increased risk of complicati...

Aug 8th, 2019 - Although giant cell arteritis (GCA) had been established in previous studies as more common in white populations, a new study in JAMA Ophthalmology with a larger sample of black patients found similar incidence rates between black and white indivi.

Jan 26th, 2019 - There seems to be both hope and uncertainty regarding the use of weekly methotrexate in giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients who need to limit their glucocorticoid use. While well done clinical trials have shown no certain efficacy, data suggesting...
