All of us need to remind each other to take care of yourself!
Some tips from Dr. Whitney Marvin
- exercise, date night, talking to a friend

Interesting counterpoint to a tweet from a few days ago re:black box warning for JAKs
No change in utilization rates post black box... maybe people had already baked this into the cake by then?

Amazing & thoughtful poster re:protocol violates in TICOSPA trial
51.2% of pts violated T2T protocol at least once... but did not impact primary outcome
Good baseline for future "strategy" style pragmatic trials

#ACR23 Late-Breaking Abstr#L09 In a crowded market, you’ve got to stand out. Phase 2 RCT of LNK01001, a highly selective JAK1-i in China: improvement in ACR 20,50,70 vs PBO at WK12. Those in PBO who didn’t meet ACR20 improved after receiving Tx. Very low infections @RheumNow https://t.co/ZbJFNHOtFT

CV Events in AS by Rx
A#L11 @RheumNow #ACR23
43K pts from Korean data
Rates of incident MI or CV:
18.7 per 10,000 py in non-bDMARD pt
8.9 in TNF
12.9 in IL-17
TNFi reduced risk of CVD HR 0.7, not signif for IL-17
Supports idea of TNFi giving a cardioprotective effect?

ARTIC REWIND: To taper or not?
A#L07 #ACR23 @RheumNow
RA pts taper TNFi in stable remission
No taper group: 85% flare free in 3 yrs
Taper grp: only 25%
Lower Boolean 2.0 Remission rates
Don't taper off a good thing! https://t.co/KnJrEfVFkV

#ACR23 Late-Breaking Abstr#L14 Which team are you on? IL5-i or IL5-receptor-i #EGPA. Phase 3 H2H RCT showed similar efficacy btw Mepolizumab and Benralizumab, with more pts fully tapering off GC at WK52 favouring BENRA. Rapid reduction in Eosinophils too @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/cXhSS80mA2

Is #cardiology now a specialty like #rheumatology with bDMARDs? Many pathways discussed for CVD in #rheumatoid #arthritis. And biologics for lowering lipids too! #ACR23 @ACRheum @RheumNow 14T118. More overlap of pts over time! https://t.co/blv5GmHTGe
