    Abstract Upadacitinib is a selective and reversible Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor recently approved by the European Medicine Agency and the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at a dose of 15 mg/day. We present the chemical structure and mechanism of action of upadacitinib together with a comprehensive review of the efficacy of this drug in RA based on the SELECT clinical trial program and its safety profile. Its role in the management and therapeutic strategy of RA is also discussed. Upadacitinib in the different clinical trials has shown similar rates of clinical response, including the remission rates, regardless of the population analyzed (methotrexate-naïve, methotrexate-failure or biologic failure). In a head-to-head randomized clinical trial, upadacitinib plus methotrexate was superior to adalimumab when given on background methotrexate (MTX) in patients who have experienced an inadequate response to MTX. Upadacitinib also demonstrated superiority over abatacept in patients with RA after failure to previous biologic drugs. The safety profile of upadacitinib is generally consistent with those observed with biological or other JAK inhibitors.

    Abstract Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a heterogeneous systemic disease. The abnormal responses to La/SSB and Ro/SSA of both B-cells and T-cells are implicated as well as others, in the destruction of the epithelium of the exocrine glands, whose tissue characteristically shows a peri-epithelial lymphocytic infiltration that can vary from sicca syndrome to systemic disease and lymphoma. Despite the appearance of new autoantibodies, anti-Ro/SSA is still the only autoantibody included in the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria and is used extensively as a traditional biomarker in clinical practice. The study and findings of new autoantibodies in SjS has risen in the previous decade, with a central role given to diagnosis and elucidating new aspects of SjS physiopathology, while raising the opportunity to establish clinical phenotypes with the goal of predicting long-term complications. In this paper, we critically review the classic and the novel autoantibodies in SjS, analyzing the methods employed for detection, the pathogenic role and the wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes.

    Abstract Background: We aimed to analyse the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of initial treatment with biological therapies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
    Methods: Qualitative study. A group of RA experts was selected. A scoping review in Medline was conducted to analyse the evidence of initial RA treatment with biological therapies. Randomised clinical trials were selected. Two reviewers analysed the articles and compiled the data, whose quality was assessed using the Jadad scale. The experts discussed the review's findings and generated a series of general principles: Results: Seventeen studies were included. Most of the included patients were middle-aged women with early RA (1-7 months) and multiple poor prognostic factors. Initial treatment with TNF-alpha inhibitors combined with methotrexate (MTX) and an IL6R inhibitor (either in mono or combination therapy) is effective (activity, function, radiographic damage, quality of life), safe, and superior to MTX monotherapy in the short and medium term. In the long term, patients who received initial treatment with biologicals presented better results than those whose initial therapy was with MTX.
    Conclusions: Initial treatment of RA with biological therapies is effective, efficient, and safe in the short, medium, and long term, particularly for patients with poor prognostic factors.

    Abstract Background: Gout is the most common type of inflammatory arthritis. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and colchicine are the first-line agents, although they are contraindicated in many patients. Blockade of IL-1 with anakinra can be an alternative.
    Objective: To present a case series of 10 difficult-to-treat gout patients treated with anakinra and perform a scoping review of the effectiveness and safety of anakinra in gout patients.
    Methods: A total of 1,519 citations were screened. The reviewers ran a two-stage screening process by title/abstract and full-text reading. Thirty-eight articles finally met the selection criteria and were included for data extraction and synthesis. Experience in difficult-to treat and complex clinical scenarios, such as active infection, hemodialysis, and transplantation, were specifically described.
    Results: The study sample comprised 551 patients, from whom 648 flares were finally analyzed. The mean age was 57.9 years, and 82.9% were men. The clinical presentation was polyarticular in 47.5% and tophaceous in 66.9%. Sixty-five patients with an active infection, 41 transplanted patients and 14 in haemodyalisis treated with anakinra are described. More than half of the patients had >1 associated comorbidity. Anakinra was effective both for flares (94%) and for long-term treatment (91%) and well tolerated. In the case of flares, 34 (6.7%) adverse effects were registered. Adverse events were more prevalent in long-term treatment.
    Conclusion: Anakinra was effective and safe for management of gout flares in difficult-to-treat patients. It has been used in multiple complex scenarios, such as active infections, dialysis, transplantation, chronic kidney disease, and polyarticular gout. Anakinra has also proven effective as long-term treatment, although there are more concerns about its safety.
