      JAKi, especially BARI, may be useful and safe in controlling both pulmonary and joint disease in RA-ILD patients, even in refractory cases. Evolution of FVC and DLCO remained stable in first 12 months. Serrano-Combarro A, Abst#2174 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/82mMn5oh15 https://t.co/e7wrgmTOTA

      Fecal microbiota - can it predict development of RA? Sadly, no. Despite promising mouse work. Despite relative control of exposure & genetic enrichment incl SE. Not even Prevotella. Maybe if you compare the most extreme cases but it’s not all the gut. #ACR23 ABST2584 @RheumNow https://t.co/VgDZaH9kvo
