And I’m finally in the game!! On board for #ACR21
Enjoying hearing Virginia Pascal showing data on how opsonisation of red blood cells containing mitochondria results in the induction of Type I Interferon pathways
Great paper here https://t.co/QWJLncYmC3 #ACRambassador
Growing awareness of spondyloarthropathies over the last two decades has led to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of spondyloarthritis, and subsequently increased interest in more distinct, disease state specific treatment options.
Giant cell arteritis is associated with significant treatment related morbidity due to the dependence on glucocorticoids as a treatment option. After sixty years of therapeutic stagnation, these are exciting times in the management of GCA. At this year's ACR Convergence meeting, encouraging data will be presented on options for GCA.

#ACR21 - Dr. Virginia Pascual speaking on #PrecisionMedicine in Lupus. Mitochondria in RBC's will cause more disease activity in Lupus patients. Th groups that remove Mitochondria have less disease activity. Hope this takes us to #precisionmedicine soon!. #Looms4Lupus https://t.co/sMOmeJPMJX

So fitting that @ACRheum President @DrDavidKarp has highlighted the amazing work of @rheum_covid in the #ACR21 Opening Session.
In crazy times, it delivered results with unprecedented speed, when our patients needed it most. We will look back in history with thanks.

It's all happening for biologic therapies in PMR!
phase 2/3 double-blind RCT:
- new PMR
- n=36
- 11w PNL taper (until relapse - clinical not lab)
- weekly sc TCZ for 16w vs placebo
big benefit persists post-TCZ cessation
real steroid sparing

Dr B Bermas noted AAP guidelines say avoid MTX while breastfeeding, but the literature show very little MTX crosses breast milk. Dr Sammaritano stated that is true, but we don’t know how much MTX accumulates,though. #acr21 @rheumnow @UTSWRheum https://t.co/9I7HszorEO

Would you allow a pt to continue MTX while breastfeeding? #acr21 @rheumnow

Abst 0501
Kakkar & colleagues examined immunogenicity of single dose of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine in patients with systemic sclerosis
- Vaccine is safe
- Immunosuppression lowered Ab production but no effect on T cell response

In GCA, why might you target GM-CSF over IL-6?
Entirely plausible TCZ might be leaving some Th1 stones unturned, esp:
vascular remodelling
downreg pathways
Transcriptomics from toci/mavri-treated TAB show it's plausible beyond just theory...
