Is muscle US useful in RA? 100+ pts 1yr followup BL muscle thickness correlated w/ grip strength improvement HAQ improv correlated w/ pennation angle vastus lateralis No diff between muscle morphology & DAS I'd say it's still easier to US joints! @RheumNow #EULAR2024 POS1033

RA patients on abatacept have an appalling immunogenic response to Shingrix. Humoral fades away in the first year, and an absence of cellular responses. Alarming and need strategies to combat this #EULAR2024 POS0620 Winthrop/@RADoctor @RheumNow https://t.co/8gY9ocLBDp

How good are we at picking up depressing in RA patients? In this Polish registry: - 1.8% had a depression diagnosis - 21% had low mood on HAQ & depression has real correlates with disease activity. Plenty to think about with truly holistic RA care! #EULAR2024 POS1045 @RheumNow https://t.co/ZNbMVo8TGk

Bold conclusion from Japan: laughter improves function in RA. I like it Feel like it might be partially a correlation/causation link but if an hour of laughter can push down IL-6 levels in RA patients, time for reimbursement for stand up comedy? #EULAR2024 POS1029 @RheumNow https://t.co/EpHnX50PgF
