Not just the presence but higher levels of biomarkers predict RA-ILD progression.

Medication-assisted weight loss has boomed in recent yrs. How does weight loss affect disease activity & PROs in RMDs?
≥5% weight loss, after taking a med, led to better disease activity & QoL
Data may inform RCTs to explore effect of these meds in RMDs

LTE of deucravacitinib trials in psoriasis. Remarkable & frankly surprising (to me) persistence of benefit Very encouraging for patients who start TYKs, looks like those who respond may have prolonged benefit #ACR24 @RheumNow Abstr#0290 #ACRBest https://t.co/kao4vqpPTQ
Studies show that patients with difficult-to-manage axSpA have a higher disease activity; however, the lack of a consensus definition led researchers and clinicians to utilize their own proposed definition, resulting in variability of the characteristics of non-responders.

Don’t miss the “window of opportunity” for aggressive treatment in early RA!
with active RA, risk of ILD 6x and RA-related lung disease 4x higher

Cannabis in Pain:
CBD can help with nociceptive pain
THC better for neuropathic, centralized pain
Perhaps a role in helping decrease other medications like opiates

How often should #scleroderma #ILD pts have #PFTs? 🤷♂️
Data from SENCIS RCT of SSc-ILD
25% worsened FVC by 6/12
Are we UNDER a ordering PFTs in an ILD #SSc population
👇
Because if worsening we would consider a change in background #immunesuppression

Does alcohol consumption affect radiographic progression in axSpA?
Canadian cohort study over 6 years found greater radiographic progression among alcohol consumers.
Still a lot of confounding factors to fully establish an association.

Results from MANDARA- #EGPA pts treated with benralizumab or mepolizumab
Eosinophil-targeting biologics rapidly control airway- & non-airway-related manifestations
Few pts had worsening of disease that progressed to organ damage over 52W

Clinicians treating giant cell arteritis (GCA) have long had to contend with a disappointingly limited selection of drugs from which to select. A new group of drugs is finally showing promise in the treatment of GCA.
