\n \n \n \nThe early warning signs of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can be hard to spot. Any delay in diagnosis of PsA can leave patients uncomfortable and in pain. But slow diagnosis is all too common, according to Professor Laura Coates. She is leading a new study called HPOS, that is looking for 2000 UK volunteers to chart their psoriasis symptoms, and which may help to explain why one third of psoriasis patients to go on to develop arthritis.

\n \n \n \nArthrofibrosis is the build-up of too much scar tissue (fibrosis) after an injury or surgery resulting in a stiffening of a joint and causing pain and disability. It\u2019s common following knee replacement for osteoarthritis where 1 in 4 affected patients require additional surgery to correct the fibrosis and restore motion in the knee joint.

\n \n \n \nA new study looked at the effect of patient genetics on their response to secukinumab, an anti-IL17 therapy commonly used to treat inflammatory conditions including arthritis and psoriasis. No link was found between a patient\u2019s genetic variants and their response to therapy. This study challenges the idea that genetics might significantly account for the variable responses to anti-IL17 therapy seen in the clinic.
