Abstract (original English)

In rheumatology, this year has seen an expansion of knowledge about the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, with the availability of results from randomized trials evaluating a new molecule targeting IL-6, and regarding the safety profile of tofacitinib compared to TNF-alpha inhibitors. Interesting data on the outcome of pregnancy in patients with spondylarthritis have also been published. New molecules and different treatment strategies have shown promising results in psoriatic arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The utility of botulinum toxin A injections for Raynaud's phenomenon and the efficacy of transplantation of autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells for the treatment of hand dysfunctions have been questioned by 2 randomized controlled trials of patients with systemic sclerosis. Cette année a vu un approfondissement des connaissances sur le traitement de la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, avec la publication de résultats d’essais randomisés évaluant une nouvelle molécule ciblant l’IL-6 et le profil de sécurité du tofacitinib par rapport aux inhibiteurs du TNF-alpha. Des données intéressantes sur l’issue de la grossesse chez les patientes atteintes de spondylarthrite ont également été publiées. De nouvelles stratégies de traitement ont donné des résultats prometteurs dans le rhumatisme psoriasique et le lupus érythémateux systémique. L’utilité des injections de to
