Gout
Day 4 was a half day closeout to the EULAR 2023 Congress. For me the big presentations were the late breaking abstracts, although there were other review and abstract sessions for those remaining. Many people missed the last day (June 3rd) of the meeting as a pending Milan airport strike on June 4th dictated last-minute changes to travel and learning. Here are a few of my favorite abstracts from the Late Breaker Session.

Remember to discuss bone density in your pts with #gout! Bone mineral density was significantly lower in pts with hyperuricemia, more so in males and elderly. Large cohort wirh 9017 pts from China! @EULAR2023 @rheumnow abst#AB1639 https://t.co/BGscJxMZno

Gut microbiome studies are implicated in all disease we study! 5 gut microbiota are suggested to have a causal relationship in #gout.
68k controls and 2k gout pts.
Can experts comment if it's just data mining or discovery? #EULAR2023 @rheumnow abst#ab1237 https://t.co/d1AkDPG8QR

EULAR 2023 launched today to crowds of attendees. The opening Plenary session and presidential address by Dr. Ian McInnes was followed by a number of overview and review sessions with but a half-day of abstracts presentations, on several therapeutic areas including osteoarthritis, JIA, COVID and more. The following are a few of the presentations that caught my eye.
