SEAM-RA trial Abst#0939 Combo TNF/MTX Rx -> ETN monoRx superior to MTX monoRx in sustaining remisson, simliar to staying on combo Rx. #ACR20 @RheumNow. Benefit of continuing combo: protect HACA Ab and longevity of TNFi https://t.co/Q934naKnBq

@RheumNow #acr20 abs0654 we are what we eat: analysis of OmniHeart trial of pts w/HTN reveals DASH-patterns plant-based protein diet can also significantly lower sUA improves HTN &hyperlipidemia. Clincial trial of DASH plant protein based diet in gout would be interesting. https://t.co/5tQwiuwl84

Poll results are in... most chose upadacitinib followed by tofacitinib as their Jak-i of choice if insurance approval was not a factor in those that failed a bDMARD and remain on a cDMARD with high dz activity! @RheumNow @LCalabreseDO @ElaineHusniMD #ACR20 https://t.co/rl1nTqxzKg

Dr Curtis presents SEAM-RA RCT of withdrawal of ETN or MTX in patients on combo therapy in sustained remission. 49.5% of ETN mono retained remission compared to 28.7% of MTX mono, and 52.9% who continued combo therapy. @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#939 #ACRbest https://t.co/wpAtBHJYUF

Low pre🤰c3/c4 levels assoc'd w/ ⬆ risk of adverse obstetric outcomes in women w/ aPL w/or w/o APS. Pts w/ triple+ aPL and ⬇ c3/c4 predicts a worse prognosis. @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/Cd2TQBfXSe

@RheumNow #acr20 abs 0649 PROTECT trial of pegloticase in 7 kidney transplant pts w/uncontrolled gout: 2-12 infusions, 2+immunosuppressants on board for transplant care. No change in eGFR, HAQ pain ⬇️by 33.8 at wk20. Alb/cr improved by >35%in 2pts. sUA< 1 mg/dL, no serious AEs https://t.co/f4tnFjMTe8

#myositis & the ❤: lab tests ⬆ Trop = myocardial stress & injury, absence doesn't r/o myocarditis BNP - utility unclear There are no biomarkers specific for myocardial involvement @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/eyihKPoXSc

Does your pt have myocardial inflamm? Trop specific but not sensitive, BNP neither sens or specific. Consider EKG - sensitive (85%), but non-specific- But TTE is essential and cMRI is best! #ACR20 @RheumNow Great lecture from cardiologist, @HopkinsBayview APD https://t.co/6THm37KbQ3

What happens long-term in Kawasaki disease now? Has IVIG availability fixed this? Pop-based cohort, long follow-up. Turns out cardiac event risk, whilst greatest early, continues >10y after - even in those w/o coronary aneurysms @SickKidsNews @McMasterU #ACR20 ABST0937 @RheumNow https://t.co/1T6JmwhXNb

Can we use urine testing ( and all the cells, proteins, complements, DNA, rna) to predict LN response? Plenary II @SalemAlmaani @BradRovin @RheumNow #ACR20 @OSUWexMed
