Beyond capillaroscopy, US vascular imaging dorsal/ventral fingers can improve detection of vasculopathy of SSc in patients with Rayanaud's (RP) by Nam et al. The % vascular areas in patient's with RP was significantly lower in SSc vs normal volunteers #EULAR2022 @RheumNow POS0127

Methotrexate plus leflunomide combination therapy for PsA treatment resulted in greater improvement in disease activity when compared to MTX monotherapy. As expected, MTX+LEF less well tolerated.

Study of 2.9k offspring exposed to adalimumab, infliximab, golimumab during pregnancy, as compared to etanercept and certolizumab showed an adjusted hazard ratio for serious infections of 1.20 (CI 0.54, 2.64).

#OP0146 #EULAR2022 Is Anti-Ro(52) ab+ on isolation clinically significant? A study of 300 #Sjogren patients showed milder tissue inflammation but a higher risk for fibrosis (lungs) in this group. Interesting to see transcriptomic analysis to identify appropriate target @RheumNow https://t.co/vdxedCI2pk

Differentiating AS from OCI using CT scanning by Terrier et al showed that Subchondral Bone Attenuation Coefficient (SBAC) was higher in OCI than AS with a threshold of >7500 Hounslow Units discriminating the two conditions #EULAR2022 @RheumNow POS0126 https://t.co/8MdSe3Dqp7

Measuring liver stiffness (LS) by transient elastography can detect and follow up hepatic involvement in AL amyloidosis as radiolabelled SAP scan not widely available by Brunger et al . Higher LS in with liver involvement vs heart/no involvement #EULAR2022 @RheumNow POS0124

GM-CSF increased in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis, correlates with disease activity, not duration. TNFi does not affect GM-CSF levels. Could explain efficacy of JAKinibs and response for residual inflammation during TNF blockade.

#POS0716 #EULAR2022 Systematic review and meta-analysis of 7 studies (i.e. only 1 x proof of concept RCT) showed high SRI-4 response rate (82%) in #lupus patients treated on IL2. Injection reaction (33%) and Fever (24%). Promising and definitive RCT is needed @RheumNow https://t.co/BBcgt11yNT

Congenital malformations after intra-uterine exposure to non-TNFi when compared to certolizumab showed vedolizumab and belimumab were associated with higher CMs. Vedolizumab showed specific CM pattern (corpus collosum agenesis).

Ultrasound may be used to evaluate patients with RA (POS1393) and SSc (POS1394)
👁️Look for B-lines and pleural irregularity
Will require training of MSKUS rheumatologists, but another potential application of US in clinical practice

#POS0713 #EULAR2022 Exploratory analyses from Phase 2 RCT showed numerically more patients treated with BIIB059, a BDCA2 inhibitor achieved a clear (CLASI of 0-1) and almost clear cutaneous #lupus (CLASI 0-3).
