Acute anterior uveitis is the most common extra-musculoskeletal manifestation in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) affecting up to 50% of patients in some age groups. AAU can have a significant impact on quality of life with risk of permanent visual deficits if not adequately treated.

Who uses #cannabis in #rheumatic #diseases? Those who smoke, have higher pain, more anxiety, poor sleep are more likely to have used cannabis for their rheumatic disease. Half of the >2900 respondents have tried #cannabis. Use of #biologics reduced use. #980 @RheumNow @ACRheum https://t.co/DQDRQN40zR

Super interesting SpA phenotypical type world map. #ACR23 Abs #2195 continues to prove how heterogenous this disease is and the need for additional therapeutic agents for improved patient outcomes. https://t.co/hpKY7usUUb @rheumnow https://t.co/xJ1bx6wOC0

In this older grp of pts w/ chronic LBP, significant overlaps of deg & inflamm features on spinal imaging of DC, DISH & axSpA pts were seen
Also, +comorbids: HTN in DC; DM in DISH; smoking in axSpA
THM? DC & DISH are also axSpA mimics

Will postpartum BME ⏩axSpA-like structural lesions?
Study by Varkas et al show there was no significant dev't of axSpA-like lesions on MRI in postpartum women 5 yrs after delivery.
Postpartum BME likely sec to transient mech stress-induced SI BME

Amazing & thoughtful poster re:protocol violates in TICOSPA trial
51.2% of pts violated T2T protocol at least once... but did not impact primary outcome
Good baseline for future "strategy" style pragmatic trials

CV Events in AS by Rx
A#L11 @RheumNow #ACR23
43K pts from Korean data
Rates of incident MI or CV:
18.7 per 10,000 py in non-bDMARD pt
8.9 in TNF
12.9 in IL-17
TNFi reduced risk of CVD HR 0.7, not signif for IL-17
Supports idea of TNFi giving a cardioprotective effect?

Be a SpA (and PsA) Sleuth! My article is your call to arms for better understanding and discovery of IBD in our inflammatory back pain patients. Consider fecal calprotectin AND robust ROS as your magnifying glass! #ACR23 @rheumnow https://t.co/OnQDEWgIWM
