    Abstract Purpose of review: This review will discuss selected emerging molecular targets and associated potential therapeutic agents for rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-directed treatment.
    Recent findings: Agents in active development for RA treatment include those targeted to CD40 and CD40 ligand, programmed death protein 1 (PD-1), and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Several other molecules with a strong theoretical role in RA pathogenesis and/or demonstrated efficacy in other autoimmune diseases are also being evaluated as potential drug targets in preclinical or translational studies in RA. These targets include interleukin 1 receptor associated kinases 1 and 4 (IRAK1, IRAK4), tyrosine kinase 2 (Tyk2), bradykinin receptor 1 (B1R), OX40 and OX40 ligand.
    Summary: Identification of molecular targets for RA treatment remains an active area of investigation, with multiple therapeutic agents in clinical and preclinical development.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Glucocorticoids and opioids are longstanding, common treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms. High-quality clinical trials have established that glucocorticoids improve outcomes in RA, but debate continues as to whether their benefits outweigh their risks. We reviewed recent studies on patterns of glucocorticoid and opioid prescribing in RA, and associated harms.
    Recent findings: At present, a large proportion of RA patients remain on glucocorticoids and/or opioids long-term. Likelihood and risk of both glucocorticoid and opioid exposure vary across the population, and are influenced by provider factors. Opioids are also associated with delays in disease-modifying treatment initiation. Recent evidence increasingly demonstrates toxicity associated with even low-dose glucocorticoids (≤7.5 mg/day). Up to two-thirds of RA patients may be able to discontinue chronic low-dose glucocorticoids without flare or adrenal insufficiency. These new data have led to changes in clinical practice guidelines for glucocorticoid use in RA.
    Summary: Although low-dose and short-term glucocorticoid use is extremely common and effective in RA management, increasing evidence of toxicity has led experts to begin recommending that such exposure be minimized. Despite a lack of data to suggest opioids improve RA disease activity, they are used commonly, continued long-term, and associated with delayed effective therapy.

    Abstract Objective: One in five patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rely on surgery to restore joint function. However, variable response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) complicates surgical planning, and it is difficult to predict which patients may ultimately require surgery. We used machine learning to develop predictive models for the likelihood of undergoing an operation related to RA and which type of operation patients who require surgery undergo.
    Methods: We used electronic health record data to train two extreme gradient boosting machine learning models. The first model predicted patients' probabilities of undergoing surgery ≥5 years after their initial clinic visit. The second model predicted whether patients who underwent surgery would undergo a major joint replacement versus a less intensive procedure. Predictors included demographics, comorbidities, and medication data. The primary outcome was model discrimination, measured by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
    Results: We identified 5,481 patients, of whom 278 (5.1%) underwent surgery. There was no significant difference in the frequency of DMARD or steroid prescriptions between patients who did and did not have surgery, though nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug prescriptions were more common among patients who did have surgery (P = 0.03). The model predicting use of surgery had an AUC of 0.90 ± 0.02. The model predicting type of surgery had an AUC of 0.58 ± 0.10.
    Conclusions: Predictive models using clinical data have the potential to facilitate identification of patients who may undergo rheumatoid-related surgery, but not what type of procedure they will need. Integrating similar models into practice has the potential to improve surgical planning.

    Abstract Postpartum depression (PPD), postpartum anxiety (PPA), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among birthing people have increased substantially, contributing to adverse maternal/infant dyad outcomes, with a high prevalence in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Despite calls for trauma-informed care in the NICU and high rates of post-traumatic stress, little research has examined the rates of or the relationships between peripartum mood and adverse child experiences (ACEs) in NICU mothers or evaluated which peripartum traumas are most distressing. This study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to explore whether peripartum-related traumas and NICU-related stressors mediated the associations between ACEs and mental health outcomes in 119 lower-income, racially diverse mothers in a Level IV NICU. Mental health concerns were prevalent and highly comorbid, including 51.3% PPA, 34.5% PPD, 39.5% post-traumatic stress, and 37% with ≥4 ACEs. The majority (53.8%) of mothers endorsed multiple peripartum traumas; NICU admission was the most common trauma (61%), followed by birth (19%), pregnancy (9%), and a medical event in the NICU (9%). Our SEMs had good fit and demonstrated that ACEs predicted peripartum distress. Trauma-informed care efforts should employ transdiagnostic approaches and recognize that women commonly present to the NICU with childhood trauma history and cumulative peripartum traumas.
