Completely new one for me, Dr Taniguchi presenting on using ear ultrasound to diagnose and monitor disease activity in relapsing polychondritis. Appears useful, I suspect in clinical practice more so for diagnosis. Abstr#0169 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/PLJtkYkP3A

Dr Adachi presents ⬆️BMD gain with denosumab than risedronate in RA. Non-significant reduction in fractures (very small numbers) Interesting, but need to see fracture benefit in larger study to justify dmab as first line Abstr#0445 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/GgaS9JZGzb
