Interesting data re HCQ decreasing new PAH in Early SSc #scleroderma Not sure I believe it. Confounding, diff subsets get #hydroxycholoroquine due to inflammatory arthritis etc. Maybe a big pragmatic RCT is warranted as PAH is lethal @RheumNow @CRASCRRheum #ACR20 abstr#925 https://t.co/Al81sMGgxI

SEAM-RA: SDAI remission greater in pts on ETN alone vs. MTX alone; ⬆ pts in remission w/ combined tx vs. MTX alone. These may guide tx decisions re withdrawal in well-controlled RA @Rheumnow #ACR20 https://t.co/33GhuMuL3I
