Clinical Pearl at @ACR21
Is patchy tongue erythema + angular chelitis representative of Sjogren's or oral candidiasis?
Beware: Oral candiasis is a mimic of Sjogren's tongue.
Differentiate by asking if burning of tongue. If so, not Sjogren's -- start PO antifungal!

I honestly find Vit D literature confusing! VITAL RCT omega3 and vit D in preventing autoimmune diseases. They seems to work?🧐The confidence intervals just shy of 1.00...I am still skeptical..but keeping vit D normal doesnt hurt I guess....#ACR21 @rheumnow abst#0957 https://t.co/QFcz2zK4Ic

Physician global score was the strongest predictor of future flares in AS patients with TNFi dose tapering. 29 (27%) flared at 2/3 of standard
dose, 21 (20%) at 1/2 dose, 29 (27%) at 1/3 dose and 27 (25%) after discontinuation @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#0929 https://t.co/pIzLgexe3k https://t.co/UM9cGLiYl7

Abst#0946 shows a distinct lipid profile in RA vs PsA synovium + synovial fluid.
Sphingomyelins & phosphatidyl-cholines/ethanolamines had the greatest separation power to classify RA + PsA samples. These lipid markers may have clinical utility if validated.

GO-ALIVE study by Prof ADeodhar & grp
🔘IV GOL was shown to be effective across all efficacy outcomes in AS pts w/ early & late dse
🔘⬆proportions of pts w/ early dse achieved BASDAI50 and ASDAS inactive dse
Early dx and tx 👉better outcomes

CV events go down when #hydroxychloroqine dose goes up in SLE BUT only in non smokers. Maybe due to smoking attention of HCQ levels &/or smoking as a bigger risk for CV over rides HCQ dose? ⬇️cardiac events by 28% in non-smokers abst0871 #ACR21 @RheumNow #RheumPix https://t.co/XxgK7iRXWi
