I remember, not that long ago, inclusion body myositis evoked resignation, for pts & clinicians. A bizarre condition where standard of care was counselling/mitigation
Now there hope might be on the horizon
Exciting to see the science & a feasible target

To be clear, for IBM: resignation 'not that long ago' = yesterday. Early days I know, but nothing like a plausible, feasible target to bring hope

#Sleep disturbance is common in #RA but does it correlate with disease activity?
Results from >100 RA pts suggest yes.
Many reported sleep disturbances, associated with both incr patient & physician-assessed disease activity.

#ACR21 #Abstr1876 The fact that nothing is 100% makes Medicine interesting! If you have patients who meet McAdams/Damiani criteria for relapsing polychondritis OR ICBD for Behcet, don’t forget it could be MAGIC! Anticollagen II abs may help @RheumNow https://t.co/9ZjYbWC6Td https://t.co/xbh9ahp2fh
