*️⃣Abst#1800 observed that a changing pattern of purine, lipid, & amino acid metabolites occurred during transition from PsO to PsA.
*️⃣Compared to pts w/ Pso that didn't progress to PsA, those that progressed had elevated levels of guanine!
Potential biomarkers?

Dementia is ⬆️in #RheumatoidArthritis says Elena Myasoedva but #RA has more DM &CV disease which ⬆️dementia. Need to separate vascular dementia from Alzheimer’s. When I trained we thought less dementia in RA -likely not true. More work is coming. 9T213 aging hub #ACR21 @RheumNow

⭐️Immune phenotyping of 45 patients with Pso and 41 PsA pts showed a number of cell subsets significantly different in Pso vs PsA
⭐️Future possibility of using a combination of selected immune cell subsets as a method for detecting PsA in Pso pts

Abst#1774 identified a blood-based immune profile with a machine-learning approach that discriminates PsA from Pso.
➡️↑ proportions of differentiated CD4+CD196+CD183–CD194+ and CD4+CD196–CD183–CD194+ T-cells in PsA

#Guselkimab Better than #ustekinumab for skin& MSK. #Ixekizumab beat ustekinumab for skin. #ustekinumab loses throne in #psoriasis and #psoriatic arthritis except maybe if concomitant inflammatory bowel disease post TNFi? Rapidly evolving PsA Rx. Abst#1773 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/Dkf2DFFsSK
