For as long as I can remember, methotrexate has been the anchor drug treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. We also know it has limited oral bioavailability at doses greater than 15mg. There are subcutaneous forms that offer better bioavailability, but its subcutaneous nature can sometimes sway patients away from trying it in addition to its higher cost. Split dosing of methotrexate can be a solution to attain higher bioavailability; however, its effect on clinical efficacy is unknown.

Beware of the « HOT stuff 🌶️ bias »
In his very didactic catalogue of bias, Timothy McAlindon particularly warns us against the hot stuff, or the tendency to be less rigorous in the scientific approach when a topic is fashionable

Do Probiotics Improve PsA?
Probiotics and gut microbiome is a hot topic in the research world and amongst patients. Often, one the questions I get after sharing the diagnosis of PsA is, “Is there anything I can eat/not eat to make this better?” #ACR23
