Difficult to Manage Axial Spondyloarthritis
Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints, causing back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. #ACR24

Among axSpA patients enrolled in the BE MOBILE 1&2, those who received Bimekizumab achieved ASAS40 response earlier vs PBO
Improvements in spinal pain and physical function were significantly reported as early as wk 1 in those who received BKZ vs PBO

Harkins @DrTrishHarkins et al. Impact of AC joint OA in PMR. 67% of PMR have AC joint OA. Those who do have worse pain and fatigue scores. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1974 https://t.co/vAqVuQ5Jzm https://t.co/zx5MMtWdBE

Cardiology is on!
Dr. Olin discusses Fibromuscular Dysplasia findings on imaging
Definite: string of beads and/or focal narrowing in right setting / location
Possible but nonspecific: dissection, ecstasia, aneurysm, and tortuously

Non-pharm tx in TAK - not something we always think about but…
Impressive effect of resistance exercise!!
Not just in symptoms but also inflammatory markers
Per Dr. Springer - even a stress ball could be enough for UE vascular health in these pt

📢 Late breaking #2002
➡️In ICI-induced arthritis, patients (n=100) report worsened pain, fatigue, & physical function vs population norms.
➡️High disease activity worsens symptoms

I have no doubt many of our RA patients will take GLP-1 agonists in the future.
Here's some data @UCLA showing significant differences in not just body weight and HbA1c, but pain.
Will be fascinating to see what it does for grumbling disease activity!

Active early RA accentuates regional MSK pain.
Non-articular pain:
easy to ignore & focus on active RA
yes, some is related to RA dx activity
BUT actually it becomes a bigger issue over time
Worth identifying to:
clarify what isn't RA
Rx appropriately

With the advent of FDA-approved anti-obesity medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, a new avenue for managing this challenging patient population has emerged. But how might these drugs impact the trajectory of RA, and are we on the cusp of a paradigm shift?

Andreasson et al. High intensity interval training provides greater improvements in exercise capacity than standard moderate intensity training in IIM. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1735 https://t.co/baj7Cq2QjO https://t.co/yiE1vuk2me
