@JointMD on AxSpA
SPEED study: roughly 1/2 AS have AxSpA, 1/2 have nr-AxSpA
Are they similar:
- Yes, but r-axSpA less F and more abnml CRP
= Low progression of nr-AxSpA to AS - only 26% progressed in mean 10.6 yrs https://t.co/Vwf5HaMcgu

We all want to preserve kidney function in lupus nephritis and to have good none invasive method to do that is just great.
Low IL-16 at 12 months predicted kidney survival at 3 years better than proteinuria.

Urine biomarkers ( IL-16, CD163,CD206), parallel internal activity in lupus nephritis and and its decline at 3 months , best predict 1 year response .
Future is great for lupus nephritis , cant wait to start using them.
Great work @andreafava

Cancer and Myositis #RNL2024 @RheumNow
@DrLisaCS on Cancer screening:
Risk stratify: dermatomyositis, NXP2, TIFy, <40yo, refractory, dysphagia, cutaneous necrosis at higher risk
Enhanced risk stratification for those at risks, versus "basic screening" for lower risks https://t.co/3yy9Fx1pk8

Cancer and Myositis #RNL2024 @RheumNow
@DrLisaCS
Dermatomyositis risks - TIF1y is highest risk, followed by NXP2
Protective features: childhood onset, ILD, arthralgias
Cancer and myositis often present w/in 1 yr before or after
Cancer is major cause of death

Are we overprescribing because guidelines may be skewed to favor the pharmaceutical industry? Interesting questions posed by Dr. A Kavanaugh #RNL2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/wEwHaWNY5k

Dr. A Kavanaugh discussed Ethics #RNL2024: publication bias where positive results are likely to be published compared to those with no effects -- this is a sham study with made up data submitted to 2 different ortho journals. @rheumnow https://t.co/j6gVgA67nC

#RNL2024 @RheumNow
Bias in research for ++ outcomes leads to fudging/biased interpretations of results
Fabricated study results submitted to orthopedic journals:
- 97% acceptance for positive result, 80% for no-difference result. Bias towards +outcome https://t.co/x7JJabSs4z

Kavanaugh on Medical Ethics
#RNL2024 @RheumNow
How do we informed consent?
- How to fully inform pts in complex research?
- Or paternalistic to not provide detailed info
- How deep to disc risk/ben?
- Easier to study in countries w/o good SoC
Prior hx: prisoners, Nazi, Tuskegee
