Dr. Jack Cush discusses abstract 0726 presented at the 2023 ACR Convergence meeting in San Diego, CA.
Psoriatic arthritis and the gut microbiome have become more intertwined, especially in the past few years. It was to my amazement that one of the first abstracts I came across was the effect of probiotic modulation on gut dysbiosis and disease activity in psoriatic arthritis patients.

Biomarkers to Differentiate Flare from Bacterial Ifn in SLE
CD14 and CD64 modest increase in infections v flare, better than IL-6 and MRP8/14
One marker not enough to differentiate, but in combo w/ complements, procal, dsDNA improves composite scores https://t.co/MeMYbkMTQH

The critical mass of biosimilars in the US is surely getting there.
My opinion: now it’s time for price competition. Otherwise you have to ask, what was the point of it all?
Maybe I’m just a naive foreigner. But US patients deserve better.

Baker et al. Danish registry study. Truncal vagotomy increases risk RA (but not OA), HR 2.62 (95% CI 1.47-4.67). Support for vagus nerve stimulation in RA? Abstr#0836 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/SbphSMLHc7 https://t.co/93SfyGizLt

Inflammatory reflex suggests role of vagal nerve in inflammation regulation
Danish database
Truncal vagotomy
2000+ pts matched w/ 22000+ = Increase risk for RA HR 2.6
Not the case for supras elective vagotomy (HR 1)
No influence on OA

Lots of our patients taking CBD products, and they won’t always tell us…
but if you don’t ask, you’ll miss the drug-drug interaction that affects the meds we rely on.

The belimumab-rituximab combination has utility in SLE, but it comes at an incremental safety cost.
May well be worth it in many of our patients, but very understandable that the @US_FDA label gets further clarification

Here's the counterpoint to the previous positive tweet on vagal nerve stimulation in RA. The previously promising data on auricular vagus stimulation falls flat on further study Abstr#0837 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/APnrPhWA9q https://t.co/adA0H1VETt
