Staying Ahead of Spondyloarthritis
The diagnosis and treatment of spondyloarthritis can present challenging clinical scenarios for rheumatologists. At RheumNow Live, Pod IV focused on "Staying Ahead of Spondyloarthritis."

Rheumatologic care involves multidisciplinary approaches and collaboration with specialties to treat complex, systemic diseases. While many Pods at RheumNow Live are disease specific, the Pod II focused on Advancing Practice on important and emerging areas affecting rheumatologic patients. This session focused on two major areas of need: obesity and peri-operative management.

Dr Sparks shows risk factors for RA-ILD. Important for diagnosis (and screening?) Focus interventions on the modifiable ones! #RNL26 https://t.co/lE9Mkbq8oh

UIP is predominant radiologic pattern in RA-ILD. Contrast with our other diseases. But by no means exclusive - up to 50% of RA-ILD have a more inflammatory pattern. Important treatment implications! #RNL26 https://t.co/HmW1mz429i

Mucosal origins of RA?
Key sites of immune-environment interaction initiate local inflamm, becomes systemic
Link of lung inflamm/immune dysregulation - ass w/ smoking, ILD
NETs in lung drive RA path?
Gut/oral microbes drive

ACPA can predate RA development
Nam et al: non-specific jt pain: 42% developed RA in 12 mos
Circiumaro et al: MSK complaints 38% devel RA in 36 mo
APIPPRA: 29% at 12 mo, 37% at 24 mo, StopRA 18% in 12 mo, 33% at 36 mo https://t.co/DxGhhFL1gO

Nearly 50% of U.S. adults may meet criteria for obesity by 2030.
For rheumatologists, it directly impacts disease activity, outcomes, and treatment response. #RNL26 https://t.co/cpy4LBBPHc

Osteoarthritis affects 600 million people worldwide—yet we still have no approved disease-modifying therapies.
A powerful opening to this talk on why OA drug development keeps missing the mark. https://t.co/wBUN3lux6X
Sunday’s vasculitis session at RNL26 was a fantastic update on inflamed blood vessels, large and small, by two experts in the field: rheumatologist Dr. Mike Putman and dermatopathologist Dr. Clay Cockerell.

Semaglutide ameliorates osteoarthritis via wt loss-independent mechanism. GLP-1R agonist exhibits OA chondroprotective effects in a mouse model of obesity by changing chondrocyte metabolism from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation via the “GLP-1R-AMPK-PFKFB3” axis.
