      ICI-PMR irAEs are sometimes underestimated compared to inflamm arthritis, but why? ICI-IA and ICI-PMR look different, but at @HSpecialSurgery, steroid needs and disease impact for both are basically the same. Let’s not devalue either @lovetolearn27 #EULAR2025 POS1200 @RheumNow https://t.co/NVq2tpjvdu

      LEVI-04 (neutrophin-3 inhibitor presented as #ACR24 late-breaker in knee OA) more good efficacy data, no rapidly progressive OA safety signal. For us clinicians: impressive impact size, esp relative to alternatives. Finally, something that works?? #EULAR2025 OP0374 @RheumNow https://t.co/iVdlwyaqrv
      Highlights from today included presentations on imaging in vasculitis, a debate on whether to treat high risk pre-clinical RA, and EULAR Recommendations on a) Treatment of interstitial lung disease (ILD); b) Physical Activity in people with arthritis; and c) EULAR disease activity score for antiphospholipid syndrome and d) the management of SLE nephritis. Below are a few others that caught my eye today.

      In 631 axSpA pts (mean age 33y, 54% female) from DESIR cohort, high-dose NSAID use (ASAS NSAID index ≥50) not associated with incident hypertension (HR 1.01; 95% CI 0.98–1.02) over 72 months. NSAID anti-inflammatory effect may offset BP risk in axSpA. Abstract#POS0256 @RheumNow https://t.co/ELYWoJDyKJ
