Improves Vo2 peak in IA patients

It is unclear if the type of exercise has an impact on outcome https://t.co/Plk7sflrh5

What happens when an AI-based symptom checker & an online self-referral tool play Rheumatologists?
They don't seem to do great yet!
600 new pts, outw/ 36% dvlpd IA
IA Sens 62% Spe 47%
Tool Sens 66% Spe 54%
More work needed to implement these in practice

Wasn’t following the SLE stuff #EULAR2023 but heard a lot of talk about both telitacicept & CAR-T, including meeting highlights by Christian Dejaco.
Both look pretty exciting - the longer the sustained remission with CAR-T, the more it looks like maybe the real deal @RheumNow https://t.co/oKzb8ojTcz
