Triamcinolone joint injection, Dr.Conaghan #RNL2023 @RheumNow
Extended half life steroids injections are better?!:
1- better for sugar control.
2-longer effect. https://t.co/4T8frPJOXG

@DrLauraCoates: patients & physicians do not agree on what is remission in PsA
Patients global scores: largely driven by pain and fatigue, not on joint counts
Remission in PsA allows for disease control on Rx- not just drug-free remission, often not sustained https://t.co/Hr2uuWDAfr

Higher Rehospitalization Rates in Younger SLE Patients
A Medicare study shows that young adults with SLE exhibit very high 30-day rehospitalization rates (36%) that are significantly higher than older SLE patients and age matched non-SLE patients.

Conaghan: "Most promising study in OA" at #RNL2023
NGF inhibitor to OA had benefit, but very poorly tolerated - could this be a future tolerated?
Can there be sustained response.
Conaghan: "In meantime, keep everybody strong" as primary treatment! 💪

Conaghan shares unpublished data from PROMOTE study at #RNL2023
Early data shows MTX benefits pain in patients w/ OA, particularly more metabolically active.
Looking forward to more data on this - though many many many DMARD trials thus far have been disappointing in OA

Dr Philip Conaghan at #RNL2023
X-rays are misleading in OA
OA is a CLINICAL disease
Radiographs do not help in diagnosis or monitoring

There are a lot of RA Rx on market now - do we need more?
Dr. Brenner: YES
Stromal targets like LIF/LIFR, Notch3, cadherin-11 offer upstream benefits for our difficult to treat RA patients that don't respond to tradition cs/bDMARDs https://t.co/zJRRisGW9i

Dr Brenner at #RNL2023
Excellent description on how fibroblasts are major producers of IL-6 producers
Clinically presents a target for blocking the fibroblasts, upstream the inflammatory cascade in RA

JAKinib safety takeaways
- avoid in older population > 65 yo, malignancy, CV risk, VTE risk
- appropriate in younger pts without VTE/CVD risk factors
