- Self-monitoring of physical activity (PA) has the potential to contribute to successful behaviour change in PA interventions in different populations, including people with inflammatory joint diseases (IJDs). The objectives of this study were to describe the use and knowledge of self-report-based and device-based PA measures in people with IJDs in four European countries, and to explore if the use of such devices, sociodemographic or disease-related variables were associated with adherence to the recommendations of at least 150 min of moderate to vigorous PA per week.SettingCross-sectional survey, performed in 2015–2016.ParticipantsPeople with IJDs in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden.Primary and secondary outcome measuresUse of self-report and device-based PA measures, receipt of instructions how to use PA measures, confidence in using them, adherence to PA recommendations and associated factors for adherence to PA recommendations.ResultsOf the 1305 respondents answering questions on PA measures, 600 (46%) reported use of any kind of self-report or device-based measures to self-monitor PA. Between country differences of 34%–58% was observed. Six per cent and four per cent received instructions from health professionals on how to use simple and complex devices, respectively. Independent associated factors of fulfilment of recommendations of PA were living in Ireland (OR=84.89, p<0.001) and Sweden (OR=1.68, p=0.017) compared with living in Denmark, not perceiving activity limitations in moderate activities (OR=1.92, p<0.001) and using a device to measure PA (OR=1.56, p<0.001). Those living in Belgium (OR=0.21, p<0.001) were less likely to fulfil recommendations of PA.ConclusionsAlmost half of the participants with IJDs used self-report-based or deviced-based PA measures, although few used wearable devices regularly. The results indicate that participants meeting public PA health guidelines were engaged in self-monitoring of PA.

- To develop recommendations for cardiovascular risk (CVR) management in gout, vasculitis, systemic sclerosis (SSc), myositis, mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS).MethodsFollowing European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) standardised procedures, a multidisciplinary task force formulated recommendations for CVR prediction and management based on systematic literature reviews and expert opinion.ResultsFour overarching principles emphasising the need of regular screening and management of modifiable CVR factors and patient education were endorsed. Nineteen recommendations (eleven for gout, vasculitis, SSc, MCTD, myositis, SS; eight for SLE, APS) were developed covering three topics: (1) CVR prediction tools; (2) interventions on traditional CVR factors and (3) interventions on disease-related CVR factors. Several statements relied on expert opinion because high-quality evidence was lacking. Use of generic CVR prediction tools is recommended due to lack of validated rheumatic diseases-specific tools. Diuretics should be avoided in gout and beta-blockers in SSc, and a blood pressure target <130/80 mm Hg should be considered in SLE. Lipid management should follow general population guidelines, and antiplatelet use in SLE, APS and large-vessel vasculitis should follow prior EULAR recommendations. A serum uric acid level <0.36 mmol/L (<6 mg/dL) in gout, and disease activity control and glucocorticoid dose minimisation in SLE and vasculitis, are recommended. Hydroxychloroquine is recommended in SLE because it may also reduce CVR, while no particular immunosuppressive treatment in SLE or urate-lowering therapy in gout has been associated with CVR lowering.ConclusionThese recommendations can guide clinical practice and future research for improving CVR management in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.

- Diversity within microglia, the resident brain immune cells, is reported. Whether microglial subsets constitute different subtypes with intrinsic properties and unique functions has not been fully elucidated. Here, we describe a microglial subtype characterized by the expression of the enzyme Arginase-1, i.e.Arg1+microglia, which is found predominantly in the cholinergic neuron-rich forebrain region during early postnatal development. Arg1+microgliacontain cellular inclusions and exhibit a distinct molecular signature including upregulation of genes such as Apoe, Clec7a, Igf1, Lgals3and Mgl2. Arg1-knockout in microglia results in a deficient cholinergic innervation along with impaired dendritic spine maturation in the hippocampus where cholinergic neurons project, impaired long-term potentiation and cognitive behavioural deficiencies in female mice. Our results expand on microglia diversity and provide insights into distinctive spatiotemporal functions exerted by microglial subtypes.
