      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? @RheumNow #ACR23 ABST0837 https://t.co/yFcMPoSc31 https://t.co/G069XwUyAz
      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.
      Treatment of VEXAS?
      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.

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.

      Thoughts:

      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 SELECT-COMPARE post-hoc #ACR23 ABST0429 @RheumNow https://t.co/Tk278mGJYY
