Targeting the HUGE dilemma!🎯
#Psoriatic vs Erosive #OA
PsA
👉 Fluffy bone formation(enthesitis of phalanges)
👉 Marginal erosions(vs central)
👉 Many jts in same digit(ray inv)
👉 Periarticular SOFT tissue swelling (dactylitis).
👉 NOT much hand OA

Live from #ACR21:
Learning about osteoarthritis from Dr. Marc Hochberg.
"Don't use the term degenerative joint disease."
-much more involved.
I like this figure of the multiple different phenotypes.

Quick plug:
not all joint pain in ICI-treated pts needs reflex steroids
eg OA can get exacerbated by ICI Rx
(ICI-aOA)
call rheum, hold the PNL & save tumor response

My video comment on the cannabidiol (CBD) double-blinded RCT in hand OA/inactive PsA #ACR21 for @RheumNow
Great work by @Joner_MD et al
& kudos to funders @PsoriasisDK @Gigtforeningen @AalborgUH @aalborguni giving us data to answer a question often asked

Interesting results where cannabidiol NEG results in RCT in hand OA and PsA. ? Throw out the ‘pot’with the dish water? Did it stimulate appetites? Was pain the same but interference less? Abst#1456 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/rnz82Paxkr

CBD for pain in hand OA/inactive PsA:
- works in animal models (many things do)
- other neg RCTs didn't use CBD itself
- DBRCT: 12w continuous, n=136, min dropout
Result:
does absolutely nothing
I bet big money it will be tried again & again

If you need a #knee replacement move out of Ontario. More income disparity of access to #TKR in Ontario vs Pennsylvania. Lack of universal #healthcare in 🇨🇦. Oh Canada we fail. @RheumNow #ACR21 abst#1037 https://t.co/kobUlT3Ugr

Oral Calcitonin not recommended for OA - studies did not show efficacy
Strontium Ranelate study below was considered a positive study in KOA with efficacy but had Cardiovascular toxicity - now off the market. https://t.co/gcYH9xoxeo

Dr. Marc Hochberg delivering the Oscar Gluck Memorial lecture - His talk titled "The Role of Bone in OA". He begins with this statement.... "DJD... Should never be used" - the rest of the lecture explains why. #ACR21 https://t.co/lYGsFu4Wpr https://t.co/IWP5J73mFO

MCP, wrist, elbow, shoulder and ankle: Not common sites for #osteoarthritis so consider a metabolic disease like CPPD🧐

Phase 3 observational extension study of Lorecivivint, intra-articular CLK/DYRK inhibitor that modulates Wnt and inflammatory pathways. Safety and tolerability. Efficacy at 6 and 12 month, but at 18month it disappeared @RheumNow #ACR21 abst#0729 https://t.co/9ycbVGKkmy

Single Intraarticular Canakinumab in Knee OA - 18-week randomized, double-blind, double-dummy Placebo and naproxen-controlled - effect no different than Placebo. Some efficacy in subgroup with high hsCRP. Need for subtypes in OA @rheumnow #ACR21 #abst0728 https://t.co/YlKTMf56wF

Rx of knee OA. A step in the right direction? Many knee #OA studies show that exercise can help pain and maybe much more - strengthening, alignment, tone, maybe weight loss. Here is a trial - STEP-KOA to support it. #YearInReview #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/rTZUeZuT1c

answer: CPPD.
👉CPPD can look like OA but can be more aggressive.
👉Look for chondrocalcinosis at the triangular ligament, pubic symphyis, superiolateral femoral head
👉A common cause of scapholunate widening
👉CPPD loves the patellofemoral joint (knee joint may be spared) https://t.co/wgYjJwYvb0
