Read ArticleAxial spondyloarthritis with psoriasis or psoriatic spondylitis
PsA commonly affects peripheral joints. In up to a quarter of PsA patients, the spine may be involved and this is known as psoriatic spondylitis (PsSpA). An important research question is whether PsSpA and Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) with psoriasis are separate conditions or not.

Interesting results where cannabidiol NEG results in RCT in hand OA and PsA. ? Throw out the ‘pot’with the dish water? Did it stimulate appetites? Was pain the same but interference less? Abst#1456 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/rnz82Paxkr

Interesting question came up: why would you change a RA patient from JAKi to JAKi?
The main reason I can think of would be if the first JAKi worked a bit (but not enough to continue, or AEs got in the way).
That would clearly favour to better survival

#ACR21 #Abstr1484 Hands down one of the most impressive results and trial design. RHAPSODY: Rilonacept led to ⬇️risk of pericarditis recurrence vs PBO (7% vs 74%; HR 0.04). Median time to resolution of pain and CRP were 5 & 7 Days. FDA approved @RheumNow https://t.co/Zty2WnkJEQ https://t.co/xGqt9Lwvjj

Loved this session on: Preclinical Rheumatoid Arthritis- Can we stop RA? As a patient advocate living with RA, my providers have always ran tests on my microbiome. The findings have correlated with my disease flares, and was a big trigger overall. #ACR21 @ACRheum Thank you! https://t.co/6hm6hr85JS

Dr. Furie asked Dr. Touma what he was doing in 1976? Dr. Touma said, "I was not even in school, yet." Dr. Furie noted that in 1976, the first study was published on methylprednisolone pulse for lupus nephritis in 7 patients. #ACR21 @rheumnow Link below https://t.co/Oe9xmH7Tzg https://t.co/xslAHYNXej
