#EULAR2020 #op0015 relationship btw sUA &mortality in the US: increased mortality in M w/ low sUA but not F. could be attributed to uricosuric effect of uncontrolled hyperglycemia ( high incidence of DM)? Lower Alzheimer’s mortality in M&F w/high sUA. @RheumNow https://t.co/E4HVXASKYy

#eular2020 #op0205 phase 1 trial of novel URAT1 inhibitor D-0120 in healthy adults: safe up to 20 mg/d after 7 days. Significant reduction of sUA peaks at 4-8h & lasts up to 24h @RheumNow

#EULAR2020 #op0169 US claims database analysis reveals that gout and DM make for a dangerous combination: significantly higher risk of amputations in pts with gout+DM at 0.77% as oppose to DM w/out gout 0.461% & gout w/out DM 0.162% @RheumNow

EULAR2020 #op0168 🇰🇷Population-based cohort study identifies both allopurinol& febuxostat associated with MI, cerebral infarction&cerebral hemorrhage. Fluctuation of sUA&potentially even cardiovascular gout attacks (urate crystals in vasculature) as possible causes @RheumNow https://t.co/mcb5NLnMq1

Behcet's ulcers can be a real pain. I've heard pentoxifylline gel be discussed before, here's some early data to back it up (need bigger trial). Tastes terrible, though - so maybe this? https://t.co/TrSlIKdWX3 (or a commercial prep might solve it) SAT0260 #EULAR2020 @RheumNow https://t.co/lvDY39ZbIH

#EULAR2020goesvirtual @eular_org should future giant medical meetings be a hybrid of virtual & viewed for months post meeting & live where there is networking & audience participation? Less cost and time for some attendees. Like cable TV vs Netflix @CRASCRRheum @RheumNow https://t.co/WqYQTpicAs

#EULAR2020 ABST#OP0015Plenary session: very low serum urate < 4 mg/dL in men assc w/increased CV mortality; 40,000 pt study. NOTE: this may be driven by poorly controlled diabetes as hyperglycemia has a uricosuric effect; from NHANES database @MassGeneralNews @RheumNow https://t.co/jnhkS436JZ
