OP0010 at #EULAR2021. FLORA trial: Fecal microbiota transplant as add-on Rx to MTX. Small trial showing time-to-event curves show inferiority to sham but good safety. Fascinating concept exploring gut-joint interaction. @RheumNow. https://t.co/BIOmA5z6vK

Dr Arnold @Yuz6Yusof present on personalised rituximab retreatment in AAV. Interesting that naive B-cell repopulation at 6 months predicts better sustained response compared to absence @RheumNow #EULAR2021 Abstr#OP0057 https://t.co/cypyQVMeYz

Comparison of disease activity and PROs in AxSpA vs. AxPsA
⭐️AxSpA ⬆️ uveitis and IBD
⭐️AxPsA ⬆️enthesitis and dactylitis
⭐️AxSpA pts ⬆️pain, spinal pain PROs
⭐️Fatigue and work impairment did not differ in AxSpA vs AxPsA

Dr Palomäki on influence of MUC5B promotor variant on ILD risk in RA and non-RA. Lifetime risk ILD 14.5% for RA+MUC5B+, 5.2% for RA+MUC5B-, 3.9% RA-MUC5B+ 1.3% RA-MUC5B- @RheumNow #EULAR2021 Abstr#OP0007 https://t.co/BnexQE1Pw9

Dr Ponte presenting on use of halo sign on TA US to monitor GCA disease activity. Seems good, present and increased in 16/17 (94.1%) cases of first disease relapse @RheumNow #EULAR2021 #AbstrOP0055 https://t.co/T6hKjkb4AT

Abs#OP0009 presents 8 min web-based video for COVID vax education sent via text message. 76% more likely to get vax. #EULAR2021. @RheumNow. Pts need to hear from their rheumatologists our thoughts on vax, ideally in person, but phone is great outreach https://t.co/aimGBufYpe

Excellent job by @jeffsparks @zach_wallace_md @rheum_covid on Abs#0P0006 at #EULAR2021.
⭐️RTX and JAKi: increased COVID severity, not seen in IL-6 or ABA. Critical findings, but confounding role of co-morbidities/ILD/cancer, esp in RTX patients? @RheumNow

Dr. Tani: Who has trouble tapering below 5mg/d prednisone in SLE
☑️Older patients
☑️High disease activity
☑️Skin and MSK manifestations
☑️Pts treated before 2000.
Try to avoid long-term steroid usage early in the disease course, as it gets harder over time. #EULAR2021, @RheumNow

Excellent talk by @LCalabreseDO on the balance of the immune response!
⭐️Exhausted T cells seen in rheumatic dz, chronic infections, cancers, severe COVID-19
⭐️CPI for treatment of latent infections? CPI for treatment of COVID? 🤔

Dr Atienza-Mateo presents abstract #POS0595 on abatacept in RA-ILD. Abatacept surprisingly appeared to be equally good in stabilising FVC and DLCO in both UIP and NSIP patterns in RA-ILD. @RheumNow #EULAR2021 Abstr#POS0595 https://t.co/kHUxWXnaBG

#EULAR2021 recommendations: RMDs face no more risk of contracting COVID-19, no current evidence of worse prognosis. Do you tell patients similar stats? @RheumNow

#EULAR2021 recommendations on mgmt of RMD in COVID: continue treatment if symptom free, steroids at lowest dose. @Rheumnow. https://t.co/U5zr7EHvTv
