EULAR Treatment recommendations 4S005: MSK US is highly sensitive and useful adjunct, but not recommended for routine mgmt in T2T. I find very useful for pts with unclear disease activity, but should be trained if using it #ACR20 @RheumNow

Large vessel vasculitis (LVV) and CNS vasculitis are rare subsets of vasculitis. The challenges related to these diseases are well known to the rheumatologists who treat around the world. There are many articles stating that a delay in diagnosis of these diseases leads to increased morbidity and mortality.

Scoring hand x-rays for Sharp scores is painfully tedious and not always perfectly consistent.
Why not get a computer to do it? Turns out you can - a deep adaptive machine learning model does as well as a human, each x-ray in literally one second.

Diagnosis in GCA is changing.
Some questions from these nice Olmsted County data:
- why are dx in women declining?
- in the past, without imaging, were we missing GCA diagnoses?
It's easy to forget how far we've come in GCA!

Small study showed poor to fair agreement of PE and US findings of hands in PsA. Do you use US in your clinic for diagnostics? #ABS0314 @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/6oQG4SB1d3 https://t.co/SQK7uhX02T
