What are you telling rheum pts their risk is for COVID? MGH: higher unadjusted rate of mech ventilation, but not signif difference after adj for co-morbidities. Encouraging temporal improvement in care seen. Abst#L01 #ACR20 @Rheumnow https://t.co/BnPCtbo5Nj

Fatigue in RA - massive burden on patients. Intensity of fatigue in RA is a/w: pain, psychological distress, morning stiffness but not a/w: ESR, CRP, swollen joint count Fatigue needs its own consideration, separate to RA 'dx activity'!

Early RA window of opportunity: how hard, how early? Commonsense reassurance from ESPOIR: to get good outcomes at 10y (DAS28≤2.6, HAQ≤0.5): - csDMARD early - bDMARD second line is okay, within first 1y+ (analysis weighted for subsequent Rx exposure) #ACR20 ABST1717 @RheumNow https://t.co/kG9WYUYYef

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) benefits RA, & it looks more than just exercise-FM-CV health. Changes in T cell activity, muscle oxidative metabolism after HIIT in sedentary RA pts n=12 Looking forward to seeing more in this area @dukemedicine #ACR20 ABST1757 @RheumNow https://t.co/5gKheEUYJ6

Our RA patients are susceptible to a dangerous virus which runs rampant, but won't take the vaccine. Why won't patients have their flu shot? @McGillMed 40% hesitant despite public funding. Multiple levels influence; if we don't address, our pts suffer! #ACR20 ABST1740 @RheumNow https://t.co/1Yhr6I2L30

This is a great pearl from John Stone. Rapid bedside detection of nasal septal perforation in GPA. Shine light in on nostril, if you see it like this in the other then septum is perforated #ACR20 @rheumnow https://t.co/aecwAWqxOz
