Dr Exarchou presents incidence of PsA in Sweden. 22/100000. 75% received DMARDs within 2 years, which seems high, so perhaps this is tip of iceberg with milder cases undiagnosed. Abstr#0571 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/kANG6KBnOd

Novel study exploring microbial differences in MZ twins discordant for psoriatic disease
⭐️Ruminococcus 🔽/❎ Gut of Ps pts and maybe associated with Ps Dis
⭐️NL skin scalp of Psoriatic pts 🔽 microbial diversity compared to unaffected twins

Dr Manasson presents on microbiome differences between monozygotic twins discordant for psoriatic disease. Differences seen in gut (Ruminococcus virtually absent in psoriatic) and scalp non-lesional skin microbiomes Abstr#0944 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/8Ch0M4dwUH

#ACR21 Abst#0786. Fibroscan screening for liver injury in pts on MTX:
▶️No significant correlation between cumulative MTX dose and liver stiffness by fibroscan, even at high dose MTX.
⭐️Age, sex, waist circumference, BMI are risks

Ever wish you had a tool to help you predict which PsA pts will progress to radiographic damage?
➡️Proteomic approaches identified 103 candidate biomarker peptides related to 69 proteins that can potentially do so!

⭐️Total Body PET/CT (TB-PET/CT) as a tool to identify subclinical PsA at the point of transition from psoriasis (PsO).
➡️Should all pts w/ new dx of PsO have a baseline TB-PET/CT to identify early PsA?

Does tenderness in non-swollen joints of PsA or RA pts portend inflammation & radiographic damage?
⭐️NO, except in early PsA!
➡️Abnormal PDUS associated w/ radiographic progression vs tenderness otherwise

@JointMD shares his thoughts on IL23, IL17, TNF inh- where/when/how we might use them. @RheumNow #acr21 https://t.co/mVw05iFPhF
The arsenal of therapeutics for psoriatic arthritis continues to increase. Risankizumab is an IL-23 inhibitor to the p19 subunit, currently being investigated for treatment of psoriatic arthritis.
The opening of ACR2 Convergence was a hit for all who signed up and viewed in. The day included the presidential address by outgoing president Dr. David Karp (UT Southwestern) and a keynote talk and interview with Dr. Seema Yasmin (Stanford).
The Year in Review featured a clinical vs basic science Brigham and Women’s Hospital faceoff between its two faculty, Dr. Karen Costenbader and Dr. Michael Brenner.

👉Get contrast if ordering an MRI to eval for inflamm. arthritis
👉Heel spur vs. enthesitis? Look for erosions at dorsum of calcaneus & other signs of inflamm
👉DISH vs. axial PsA? DISH➡️contiguous bony ossific'n up anterior margin of the vertebral bodies; PsA not cont.

KEEPsAKE trial 1 (DMARD-IR) and 2 (DMARD/biologic-IR) on risankizumab (IL23i) for PsA:
👉some benefits of risankizumab for axial disease
👉no data regarding bowel disease
👉pts did remain on background DMARDS, steroids.
