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!

There are no MRI imaging difference in axSpA with psoriasis, coliitis or iritis. 240 patients in the SASPIC study show psoriatic axSpA similar to axSpA associated with iritis or colitis. Supports the umbrella concept of axSpA @RheumNow #ACR21 Abst#0902 https://t.co/VKTUv22hEJ https://t.co/lOL82ceSn9

Calculated 10-yr CV risk ↑ w/in 1st yr of new RA dx in 53 Dutch pts:
➤43% had intermediate (I) or high (H) morbidity risk
➤76% had I or H mortality risk
◘ avg 57yo, 74%♀, 72% HTN, & 57% HLD
*️⃣ Early CV risk assessment critical at RA diagnosis!

⭐️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

Rx of knee OA. A step in the right direction? Many knee #OA studies show that exercise can help pain and maybe much more - strengthening, alignment, tone, maybe weight loss. Here is a trial - STEP-KOA to support it. #YearInReview #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/rTZUeZuT1c

➡️Patients 40-75 yo w/ RA dx in the prior 5 yrs have ⬆️ prevalence of subclinical athero vs age-matched controls.
→ Should we consider obtaining a carotid US at time of RA dx & monitor per risk status to help optimize CV risk? @Rheumnow
