High dose NSAIDs and incidence of HTN in axSpA?
In pts with early axSpA(age at baseline 33.2 years) data from DESIR cohort showed that after adjusting for confounders,high dose NSAID use was not associated with incident hypertension (HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.98-1.02).

Rheumatoid nodules are fascinating. If methotrexate nodulosis is a factor, why has their rate gone down when MTX use has gone up?
Environmental factors? Something else? It’s still a bit of a mystery - we still don’t know why

Maybe the pathogenesis gives us a clue on how to target things?
Possibly the treatments which take down synovitis might not always help with nodules

What is new in SpA?
‼️nomenclature change:
🚫AS≠ Ankylosing spondylitis
✅AS= Axial spondyloarthritis

Delay hurts.
Dx delay in axial SpA costs UK £3.1 billion annually.
Avg time to dx = 8.5 yrs
Avg dx cost = £187k/person
Fixing delay could save £167k/person.
Early Dx isn’t just better care—it’s economic policy.

@RheumNow So rheumatoid nodule treatment might target some of that pathophysiology. Rituximab, abatacept, or JAKi?
And while surgery often isn’t great (plus they often grow back), definitely an option for some.

❓️ Does joint swelling occur in the same anatomical locations affected in the subclinical phase?
🅰️ Yes, in 68%
🅰️ Especially if positive ultrasound

Should we still be worried about lymphoma developing in RA patients?
Incidence has plummeted with modern therapy, although still a small risk. TNFi and other bDMARDs don’t seem to confer any real risk.
So what should our approach be?

What kills in GCA?
Greek national prospective cohort, small numbers and no doubt some channeling bias, but:
Steroids (absence of DMARD use) is more of a factor than CV disease in GCA mortality.
With new options, all GCA pts should be on something

In PsA, can we better pick IL-17A inhibitor responders (after TNFi failure)?
Transcriptomic profiling is going to get better at telling us which pathways are truly important for response to specific treatments
