Dysautonomia & joint hypermobility/hEDS - we all know that patients often have both, but what groups of symptoms cluster for patients? This French study showed three main groups - need to look at treatment strategies for each group individually #ACR23 ABST1838 @RheumNow https://t.co/UDepsudpXx

@lastwalsh @KyleWalkerM @RheumNow Second question: do you ever give a PEXIVAS-standard style steroid taper? I'm 100% in agreement that we should favor PEXIVAS over observational data in most cases In practice it seems like some patients need a bit more immunosuppression, though Curious to hear your thoughts!

Ultrasound (and specifically intima-media thickness) might not just be for diagnosis in GCA - it might be a GCA disease activity measure for monitoring: - improves over time - increases with flares Valentin Schaefer #ACR23 ABST1649 @RheumNow https://t.co/QWdIVGrHbn

Ross et al. Ultrasound assessed Optic nerve sheath measurement in GCA. Previously shown increased in GCA. Here decreases with treatment shown in 9 patients Abstr#1650 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/fcrS4tT6U0 https://t.co/ylnPKzdUe0

PET/CT real-world performance in GCA diagnosis, Sydney @tonysammel: comparable to other modalities can optimize for sen or spec based on managing equivocal results ?some steroid confounding but definitely one of 3 complementary imaging options for GCA #ACR23 ABST1646 @RheumNow https://t.co/FvdLMvpqEU
