This is particularly interesting considering this 👇🏼👇🏼
First RCT of NI auricular vagal nerve stimulation did not meaningfully improve RA disease activity or outcomes.
No SAEs
Is this supporting the need for other VNS modalities?

Abstract #0494 provides context to our continual search for better understanding of inflammatory bowel disease in patients with AS, nr-AxSpA, and PsA.
Several abstracts have studied the mechanism of action of JAK inhibitors (JAKi) in various diseases. JAKi alter many other mediators affected by the JAK STAT pathway. For instance, T cell signature in blood that is proliferative was associated with a response in RA.
A lot of interesting studies will be presented at the poster sessions on Sunday, November 12 and some of them address practical real-world issues such as treatment intensification and the impact of pregnancy on axSpA imaging.

#ACR23 Abstr#0782 Triple therapy in #lupus nephritis. Propensity match data AURORA vs ALMS showed pts treated with voclosporin+MMF+low dose GC vs MMF+High dose GC achieved earlier reduction in UPCR & fewer AEs. Cdnt control for everything e.g. HCQ but assuring @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/dmriAyQPr0

Clinical pearls in #CNS vasculitis: Dr. R.Hajj-Ali
🧠Clinical dx is difficult bec it presents w/ an array of clinical features
🧠CSF analysis essential in dx; can r/o infexns
🧠Nonvasc imaging highly sensitive
🧠biopsy is valuable esp when alt dx is considered

What is D2T PsA?
A proposal of definition in ABST0777
Thoughts:
A lot of features are extrapolated from the EULAR RA definition
RA & PsA population are hardly comparable
Lack of emphasis more problematic domains ie. dactylitis
Further work is required

DRESS-PS study LTE. 12 month observational extension. 114 patients PsA/AxSpA. Essentially patients TNFi tapered or not in T2T fashion. TNFi dose remained lower in tapering group but it is consistently creeping back up. Abstr#0775 @RheumNow #ACR23 https://t.co/aYoOl6Ccin https://t.co/BtMR95lIfs

Fascinating how upadacitinib may well have an effect on pain in RA, beyond inflammation.
Now seen similar for bari in RA & guselkumab in PsA. And, if real, for some people could be a massive get. Love to see dedicated studies

MEDIPSA: probiotic vs PBO RCT in PsA
12 weeks
Using strains Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus
No effect on DA or PROMs in PsA
No effect on gut parameters either
Good safety profile
Wrong strains or not an generally efficient intervention?

R Furie on Decravacitinib in SLE
48wk double-blind trial. PBO v DEU 3mgBID, 6 mgBID,12 mg qd
Higher response, faster time to SRI(4), BICLA and dual response v PBO. More likely to sustain response from w32-48. https://t.co/M34d3nQmwv

LEGACY Cohort - Rx monitoring AZA/Tacro in SLE pregnancy
Ab#0586 #ACR23 @RheumNow
70 pregnancie. 33% prescribed AZA, 9% TAC
AZA - 91% subtherapeutic or non-adherent
More likely in non-Caucasian, on steroids, longer SLE duration, prior lupus nephritis
TAC - 3/6 therapeutic levels
