In AxSpA, an 8-week personalized exercise program improved trunk strength (+14.1%), mobility (+14.9%), and cardiorespiratory fitness ( increased oxygen pulse, ventilatory efficiency, anaerobic threshold). BASDAI and chest expansion also improved. Supports tailored rehab based on https://t.co/jawosa2AJK

In early axSpA vs non-axSpA CBP, 2 year spinal x-ray progression was minimal in both groups. But on MRI, fat lesions increased significantly in axSpA (0.16 units/yr vs –0.02), with 15% having ≥3 lesions at 2 year vs 1% in non-axSpA. Fat lesions may signal early structural https://t.co/zvgU1Gt0po

New biomarkers in axSpA. In early axSpA (DESIR cohort), higher baseline Phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) activity was linked to sacroiliac radiographic progression over 5 years. Lower zonulin and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) levels also associated with progression. Highlights https://t.co/1uBtR4QA97

In a U.S. axSpA cohort (n=4,799), women had a 24% higher adjusted risk of TNFi discontinuation vs men especially under age 65. No sex differences seen for IL-17i or JAKi, though sample sizes were small. Highlights need for sex-informed treatment strategies. Abstract#2634 https://t.co/58Dw3nFCsf

Use of AI in AxSpA imaging for diagnosis. ASembleNet, a hybrid deep learning model, achieved 99% accuracy on coronal and 98.1% on axial MRI for AS classification, outcomes higher than ResNet50, Xception, and InceptionV3. Validated on ASAS cases, with Grad-CAM interpretability and https://t.co/yU8shaIdP2

What's the latest in PsA? https://t.co/I8ZgRQpVy6
Great review for whats new in PsA by @drpnash
Looking forward for Large IL23-Axial study results.

Cohort study comparing 3yr safety outcomes of JAKi vs. TNFi in AS pts
JAKi use: ⬆️incidence of HZ infxn but not significant; ⬆️all-cause mortality (HR 4.94) and GI bleed (p=0.04)
Individualize tx. consider potential complications

Sex differences in 💊 d/c in axSpA from the RISE registry
🔅Females - ⬆️discontinuation risks for TNFi
🔅No sex differences seen in dc risks for IL17i and JAKis
🔅Young females discontinued faster than males
Gender diff in SpA can guide tx decisions
