Why do Rheumatologists shift to private practice? Are there gender based differences?
A survey of 100+ European rheumatologists
Female 🚺 rheumatologists:
Leave hospital earlier
At a lower hierarchical level
Reasons for leaving:
nightshifts
unfair promotion decisions

RA is worst with temperature rising/ climate change.
However SpA has the opposite effect!

Tips for Dx RP:
1. Suspect the dx and recognize chondritis.
2. Rule out mimickers
3.Tracheal involvement shows swelling>stenosis (helps ≠from GCA)
4. CV, heme, derm manifestations 🧐VEXAS.
5. biopsy not useful unless ≠ from GCA.

What do we do when we see Rx signed of CPPD in RA pts? Do these pts have different trajectory?

-higher comorbidity score

Climate Change Impacts #Rheumatology Care Taking
HEAT 🥵 causes:
🔺️⬆️ Hospitalisations
🔺️Renal failure ⚠️ NSAIDs
🔺️Flooding: no access to healthcare
🔺️New Infectious diseases mimics RMDs: Zika...

Genicular artery embolisation is like so many interventions in MSK medicine:
early promise with smaller RCT & observational data, but the later, more robust data doesn’t show the same benefit.
If you do meta-analyses of all these data, you mix good with bad

Management and prognosis of RP by @Lupusreference
1. Pts with mild disease respond to GCs
2. NSAIDs/colchicine good alternatives
3. Most common biologics used: TNFi and IL6i
4. Consider CYP in life threatening dz/ICU pts
5. Dynamic CT assess tracheal collapse.
6. PET-CT can ≠ https://t.co/PNUecMZvkT

ICI-PMR irAEs are sometimes underestimated compared to inflamm arthritis, but why?
ICI-IA and ICI-PMR look different, but at @HSpecialSurgery, steroid needs and disease impact for both are basically the same. Let’s not devalue either

Hidradenitis suppurativa is newer to us in rheumatology, but it seems like inflamm arthritis is a problem - at least to a similar extent as in psoriasis.
Time for us to look for it & to see what therapies like IL-17 inhibitors do for this arthritis
