Can’t a clinician usually differentiate dermatomysitis skin changes from cutaneous lupus and if not would it affect your Rx of the skin involvement - HCQ, MMF, MTX, Aza & topicals. IL18 sigatures. But I get it. Impt for pathogenesis! @RheumNow #ACR2020 @CRASCRRheum https://t.co/RJh7fEVo4O

Dr. M. Dubreuil shares a beautiful slide describing the asynchrony between the goal and the reality in the classification of axSpA. Do you think it’s time to change our nomenclature and classification criteria? #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/YJcvLKnyFy

Dr. J. Kay reviews ICD11 classification codes for medical claims for diagnosing SpA which reviews ASAS criteria. This likely won’t be adopted in the US for several years. #ACR20 @RheumNow https://t.co/oDhs1EHSTP

Is it time to change RA EULAR guidelines to reflect what we do? SEAM RCT showed withdrawal of MTX better than D/C etanercept in controlled RA. ETN alone =ETN+MTX. I vote to d/c the Rx that failed or by pt preference! Abstr#939 @RheumNow #ACR20 https://t.co/l9TNM3Gt0e

Do you know Walter Bauer, MD #ACR20? Well, I didn't either! Dr. M. Weinblatt taught me that Dr. Bauer was an important US rheumatologist who did NOT believe AS was a separate disease entity from RA! It wasn't until his death that the college recognized both separately! @RheumNow
