    Abstract There have been considerable advances in the classification and assessment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). In this report, we give an overview of historic and current classification criteria and discuss its role and limitations in research and clinical practice. We discuss the most commonly used assessment instruments for arthritis, psoriasis, onychodystrophy, enthesitis, dactylitis and axial PsA with a focus on clinical practice. We pay particular attention to the current evidence for the use of composite outcome measures, and their use in randomised controlled trials and routine care.

    Abstract Objectives: The study aims to assess the prevalence of anxiety, depression and the quality of life among patients with chronic respiratory failure and the changes in anxiety and depression scores after initiating domiciliary oxygen.
    Design and setting: Prospective, single-centre cohort study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in India.
    Participants: Patients of Indian origin with chronic respiratory failure who visited the hospital where domiciliary oxygen is indicated were included in the study. Patients with acute respiratory failure on a mechanical ventilator, haemodynamic instability and already-diagnosed psychiatric conditions were excluded from the study.
    Interventions: Patients who met the inclusion criteria were assessed at baseline, at 3 and 6 months, for anxiety and depression using the 7-item Generalised Anxiety Disorder questionnaire (GAD-7) and 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Quality of life was evaluated using the WHO Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire.
    Primary and secondary outcome measures: The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with chronic respiratory failure having depression and anxiety and assessing the changes in anxiety and depression scores after initiating domiciliary oxygen. The secondary outcome is the change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients on domiciliary oxygen.
    Results: 121 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Of 102 patients who completed the study, 36.2% (n=37) had anxiety and 44.1% (n=45) had depression at baseline. There is a worsening trend in the mean GAD-7 (p=0.003) and PHQ-9 score (p=0.015) in patients over 6 months while on domiciliary oxygen. HRQOL is poor in all the domains at baseline, and there is a progressive worsening during follow-up while on oxygen.
    Conclusions: The worsening trend in anxiety and depression in patients after initiating domiciliary oxygen may be related to social isolation, restricted mobility, economic issues, addictions and frequency of exacerbations. Screening for psychological problems in these patients at baseline and on follow-ups helps early detection, and prompt intervention could improve the quality of life and survival.

    Abstract Objectives: To characterize the evolving demographics of participants recruited to phase III randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of biologic/targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) in peripheral psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
    Methods: We conducted a systematic review of EMBASE, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Database of Clinical Trials (CENTRAL) to identify all placebo-controlled phase III RCTs of b/tsDMARDs in peripheral PsA published up to 1 June 2022. Data extracted included inclusion criteria, date of initiation, countries in which studies were conducted, age, sex, race, disease duration, swollen joint count, tender joint count, Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index, Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, and radiographic damage scores. Trends over time were evaluated using descriptive statistics.
    Results: 34 eligible RCTs from 33 reports were included. The proportion of female participants increased over time with females representing 29.0-43.7% of participants in studies initiated in 2000-2004 which increased to 46.0-58.8% in 2015-2019. While the number of countries included in RCTs increased significantly from 1-8 countries (2000-2004) to 2-46 (2015-2019), the proportion of white participants changed marginally from 90.0-98.0% (2000-2004) to 80.9-97.3% (2015-2019). The SJC and TJC decreased from 13.9 to 24.6 respectively (2000-2004), to 7.0-13.9 and 12.9-24.9 (2015-2019). Baseline CRP and HAQ-DI remained stable.
    Conclusion: Despite the expansion of countries from which PsA RCT participants were recruited from, non-white participants continue to be under-represented. Improving diversity in patient representation is imperative to further our understanding of PsA phenotypes, proteogenomics, socioeconomic determinants, and treatment effects, to advance the care of all patients with psoriatic disease.

    Abstract Psoriatic arthritis is a heterogeneous condition with substantial challenges in optimising outcome measures for both clinical trials and daily practice. As with other inflammatory arthritides, there is no gold standard instrument for measuring disease activity or impact, both of which are key to evaluate therapeutic approaches in trials and monitor disease in daily practice. A wide range of domains have been highlighted in the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) core domain set for psoriatic arthritis; reflecting the disease involvement in multiple tissues (joints, tendons, skin, and spine) and the heterogenous impact of the disease on individuals. This Review summarises the current evidence around outcome measure selection, considering factors such as unidimensional versus multidimensional outcomes, continuous versus binary measures, and the feasibility of these approaches in trials compared with clinical practice.

    Abstract Introduction: Approximately 2,552 individuals were killed or seriously injured through cycling accidents in the Greater London Area between 2010 and 2015. The purpose of this study is to investigate a wide range of built environmental correlates of cycling accidents resulting in KSI so that we can identify potential areas for targeted interventions.Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis to examine the association between serious cycling injuries (2010-15), using road segment as the unit of analysis, and a wide range of built environmental characteristics. Multilevel models were used to account for potential spatial clustering.Results: Serious cycling injuries were independently associated with higher commercial and residential densities, higher distance to speed camera, higher bus, car, and 2-wheeled (motorcycle and moped) traffic, and higher density of alcohol outlets. Greenspace was associated with decreased odds of injuries up to the 3rd quartile, but roads adjacent to the highest levels of green space (4th quartile) had increased odds of injuries. Findings from our study point to the potential of urban planning interventions to reduce serious cycling injuries (e.g., speed cameras, improving safety near alcohol outlets and in parks, and recreational areas, etc.). Further research using quasi-experimental approaches is required to evaluate whether the implementation of interventions leads to injury reductions.

    Abstract The emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens due to improper usage of conventional antibiotics has created a global health crisis. Alternatives to antibiotics being an urgent need, the scientific community is forced to search for new antimicrobials. This exploration has led to the discovery of antimicrobial peptides, a group of small peptides occurring in different phyla such as Porifera, Cnidaria, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Chordata, as a component of their innate immune system. The marine environment, possessing immense diversity of organisms, is undoubtedly one of the richest sources of unique potential antimicrobial peptides. The distinctiveness of marine antimicrobial peptides lies in their broad-spectrum activity, mechanism of action, less cytotoxicity, and high stability, which form the benchmark for developing a potential therapeutic. This review aims to (1) synthesise the available information on the distinctive antimicrobial peptides discovered from marine organisms, particularly over the last decade, and (2) discuss the distinctiveness of marine antimicrobial peptides and their prospects.
