@SteliosTomaras @RichardPAConway @drhectorchinoy @RheumNow EMG/NCS can help uncover various neurological disorders including muscle dystrophies. Obviously it depends on center and expertise. Both MRI and EMG are useful and have different complementary utilities in Myositis. Many centers are not able to perform or interpret MRI reliably.

@NU_Rheum_MSK_US @RichardPAConway @drhectorchinoy @RheumNow Muscle ultrasound can be very useful but it is not ready for prime time currently to be used to do muscle biopsies. Perhaps in few years once we know how to target the muscle for biopsy.

⭐️RA pts w/ high adipokines (fat-secreted proteins) have lower rates of LDA + remission independent of b/l dz activity & BMI ⭐️↑ adipokines esp adiponectin, then more likely to need b/tsDMARD ➡️Adipokines may be prognostic biomarkers 4 refractory dz.

Marc Hochberg lecture at #ACR21 - Bisphosphonates limited and inconclusive data in radiographic progression of OA, some ⬇️ in bone marrow lesions! @RheumNow https://t.co/ciMUINBLwm

Abst 0981 Interesting study by Singer & colleagues examining economical and clinical burden of herpes zoster in patients with RA - RA + HZ --> higher odds health resource utilization - RA + HZ --> higher costs $$$ #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/6Oc7ymbKHQ

TOFA Post hoc analysis on 2000pts: ⬆️ Paraoxonase PON1 activity associated w/ ⬇ risk of malignancies (not NMSC) in RA pts treated w/ TOFA, Adj on RA duration, age, and smoking. A promising biomarker! #Abst980 @RheumNow #ACR21 https://t.co/fOILnAyDN9

Real-world data shows no difference between genders in effectiveness of secukinumab in #AnkylosingSpondylitis, for disease activity, global functioning and severity of depression. #Abs0909 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/2n6Y5ZB1Ot https://t.co/zIMEzHBUrh
