      Beyond the Scale: Do GLP-1RAs Offer More Than Weight Loss in PsA? Over 70% of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) struggle with excess weight, amplifying synovio-entheseal inflammation and blunting biologic response. https://t.co/pAIXkdazci https://t.co/vQTn3BWv2r

      CT imaging in RA Body composition changes beyond BMI 489 RA vs 397 ctrl RA asso w/ -increased subcutaneous fat -increased intermuscular adipose tissue -poorer muscle quality Looks like it represent “hidden obesity” with more by fat redistribution and myosteatosis #OP0348
      And now does MRI do better than US at predicting RA progression in at risk pts?

      Short answer: No likely too sensitive!

      Do probiotics help in #PsA? First RCT (MEDIPSA) says no. Multispecies probiotic vs placebo in 66 pts: 43% vs 65% achieved low disease activity at wk 12 (p=0.167). Gut-joint axis intriguing, but probiotics not the answer yet. @RheumNow #EULAR2026 POS0290

      Detecting subclinica tenosynovitis in pts at risk for RA: who does it better US or DixonMRI? 65 pts RA CSA, US detected only ~23% of cases identified by Dixon US misses most! But are they “real” tenosynovitis? MRI (5-min, no contrast) higher sens US higher spe Shall we do https://t.co/stsMRdj9eY

      What does remission really mean to patients with #PsA? The RemiPPsA international qualitative study asked 123 patients across 11 countries. Pain-free + ability to resume daily life topped the list, not just composite scores. #EULAR2026 @RheumNow, POS0294 https://t.co/mEGpkewuTX

      #EULAR2026 POS0172 #Lupus arthritis is the most common domain in RCTs but SLEDAI-MSK or BILAG-MSK isn’t satisfactory. Look out for the role out of LAMDA once externally validated using independent trial datasets. 4 candidates: SJC28, ESR, VAS Phy MSK, & VAS Pa Pain @RheumNow https://t.co/QJ51ETLSSN
      Day 3 was an interesting mix of posters, oral presentations, and review sessions on many practical subjects like osteoarthritis, large vessel vasculitis, systemic sclerosis, and pregnancy. Here are a few of my recommended abstracts from Friday at EULAR 2026.
