Inflammation is not a single entity, and the imperative to dissect it carefully is so great in irAEs - in both treatment and measurement.

One of my #ACR20 highlights about to start - irAE Study Group, hosted by @CCalabreseDO & @NohaMDAnderson

Just the beginning... trained over 1397 x-rays, this will only get better.
It could either:
- stop humans from having to do tedious things
- make Sharp/SvdH scores readily available in clinical practice/developing world/consistent in studies.
Either way, good!

Dr. Siri will see you now...🤖
Machine learning identified 9 signatures including nail pso, CRP and 7 biomarkers to distinguish PsA from PsO pts without arthritis and will help diagnose PsA early.
➡️will need to test independent data

Abst#0194 at #ACR20 showed that significant symptoms of depression in RA are more frequent than depression diagnosed clinically, suggesting that depression may go undiagnosed and that symptoms of depression predicted mortality in RA patients! @RheumNow https://t.co/GqwXNB45y2

Lung disease in primary #SjogrensSyndrome is common; both conditions were diagnosed at the same time in 43% of patients, found an #ACR20 study from @joannamarco @GGRheumdoc + @UW @uofcincy colleagues. “Close monitoring is warranted” to make sure lung function is not declining. https://t.co/MpA0Rq2uVR

@drdavidliew @MGHrheumatology @RheumNow That is so interesting. Haptoglobin first described by Paolaggi et al in early 1980s as having potential to monitor PMR/GCA even when ESR normalised. See link here...
