#1748 Higher air pollution, esp PM2.5, linked to ⬆️RA disease activity and more flares in >1000 Korean patients. Each rise in PM2.5 significantly boosted DAS28, CDAI & joint counts.
Does cleaner air mean calmer joints?

There’s all sorts of products out there. Who knows, ‘Reuma King’ or ‘Contra Reumas’ might do something, but that’s probably all the fraudulent hidden dexamethasone inside…

@RheumNow Obinutuzumab for lupus nephritis was a very recent FDA addition two weeks ago, and we’ll play catch-up with the hematologists to get familiar with it, including its safety profile

After melanoma, should RA patients stop DMARDs?
These VA data (n=644) showed no mortality signal, and trending to survival benefit with b/tsDMARDs
Provisos over methotrexate, invasive disease etc, but don’t hold off treating the RA because of melanoma

#IL2 #Rx in active #SLE?
Maybe 🤔
IL2 is tricky - low dose May help #SLE but too much of a good thing may have a neg impact.
RCT of IL2i in #SLE gave a good dose response and improved TRegs.

Adverse events from avacopan the WHO pharmacovigilence database (VigiBase)
Not a lot new - infections happen, hepatic events happen but seem to be somewhat rare
Pharmacovigilence is hard; most events go unreported & we often have the classic "denominator problem" (ie we saw https://t.co/28tYkXv0Lz
