Diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis can be challenging, and imaging modalities help with not only the diagnosis but sometimes in assessing flares in the disease. At EULAR 2023, recommendations for imaging modalities for large vessel vasculitis were discussed. These were evidence-based recommendations adapted for practicality in clinical use.  

Dr. Jack Cush reviews highlight abstracts and sessions - covering lupus, RA, gout, Still's disease, safety data, AI in medicine and more - from last week's EULAR 2023 Congress held in Milan, Italy.

At EULAR 2023, there was a late breaking abstract that compared difficult to treat patients with RA who had received treatment (including TNFi and JAKi in some patients) previously and still had active disease.

In my focus group consisting of people living with SLE and their carers, one of the keys issues raised by them was pertaining to poor reliable information about their condition. At the 2023 EULAR Congress in Milan, I learned about the wide scale dissemination and international launch of Lupus100.org project.
