This week's Tuesday Nite Rheumatology featured Dr Jonathan Kay (U Mass) who gave an update on Biosimilars and took questions the subject. The program was moderated by Dr. Jack Cush.
For Jessica, an ICU nurse, 12-hour shifts were usually fast paced, challenging and productive. But the cadence and demands of work abruptly changed mid-March when COVID-19 came.
Amongst her many ICU admissions she took care of Larry, who was instantly interesting and forever memorable. He had contracted the coronavirus less than a week before. He was a 60-ish yr. old man who tried to be humorous, but who was clearly distressed and worried. He

SAPHO or PsA with CASPAR criteria? 1/3 of SAPHO pts meet PsA criteria (particularly active or hx of psoriasis). Interestingly, most with osteitis did not meet CASPAR criteria while those with synovitis did. #EULAR2020 @RheumNow #AB0738 https://t.co/G4p6OiocE3

Can fatigue in RA vary by bDMARD used? IL-6 inhibitor treatment associated with attaining a low fatigue state (RR 1.20 vs csDMARDs).
Given IL-6 secretion with HPA axis activation leads to fatigue/poor sleep, maybe something in this?
