Psoriatic arthritis
Despite increased awareness and better diagnostic modalities at hand, early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) still remains a huge unmet need. Broad spectrum of PsA manifestations, often gradual and subtle symptom development, along with lack of specific serological testing contributes to the challenge.

Another interesting study demonstrating the use of ultrasound to assess psoriatic arthritis. In very early, DMARD naïve PsA, clinically swollen joints are associated with PD synovitis, but tender, non-swollen joints are not @RheumNow #ACR20 Abst#313

The presence of fibromyalgia in psoriatic arthritis correlates with the clinical outcome scores. Ultrasound evaluation can be useful to evaluate disease activity in the presence of fibromyalgia @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#315 #ACRbest
Results of the MAXIMISE trial show that Secukinumab provided clinical improvement and reduction in inflammatory MRI lesions in patients with psoriatic arthritis and axial disease through week 52.

The synovio-entheseal complex theory is proposed in the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis. The ultrasound study showed a link in the severity of the sonographic findings in the joints and the entheses supporting this model @rheumnow #ACR20 Abstr#311

@Rhemnow #ACR20 abs0307 analysis of PsA pts diagnostic pathway emphasizes difference in Dx coding by specialty (Derm unlikely to code arthritis, rheum unlikely to code PSO, PCP tend to code general MSK and axial symptoms). PSO and enthesitis codes increased closer to PsA Dx https://t.co/i6ZmjlD3xs

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

PsA pts have ^ risk of developing polyclonal gammopathy, MGUS, and possibly progression to lymphoproliferative malignancy. #ABS0338 #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/jl6sq1KcKZ https://t.co/BHrGKPXs3a

Dr. C. Bakewell reminds us that entheses can show inflammation and chronic changes. Pearl: Be sure to look at MSUS of the digits for enthesitis. #ACR20 #ACRbest @RheumNow https://t.co/D3nLGGv4ko
Spondyloarthritis at ACR 2020: Dr. Lianne Gensler
San Francisco-based rheumatologist Dr. Lianne Gensler examines a wide range of spondyloarthritis topics at ACR 2020, including how to join up with others interested in spondyloarthritis; enthesitis; the utility of MRI for the diagnosis for axSpA; novel treatments; and the impact of drugs on disease modification.
