Transcranial Stimulation is Effective in Fibromyalgia A randomized, controlled clinical trial in fibromyalgia (FM) has shown the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (A-tDCS) (along with exercise and pain neuroscience education [PNE]), in alleviating the pain. https://t.co/P8SKs3JNEx

🦵🏼💉LOSEIT study: liraglutide led to slight↑ in medial joint space width in knee OA vs placebo (0.22 vs 0.07 mm), but difference not statistically significant (p=0.17). More potent GLP-1RAs may be needed for greater improvement in structural knee OA @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0223

GRAPPA defines : - D2T-PsA (failed ≥3 therapies incl. ≥2 b/tsDMARDs) - CM(complex to manage)-PsA (adds pain, comorbidity, complexity). A needed framework to improve trial design & real-world care. Do these definitions fit your clinic? #OP0175 @RheumNow #EULAR2025 https://t.co/ot1bVLIYLA

#RITAZAREM: infection risk during RTX induction in AAV was ↑ w/ lung disease & nodules/cavities; ↓ w/ TMP-SMX prophylaxis. Early infections predicted later ones, but risk didn’t differ by RTX vs AZA. Pulmonary damage is a key red flag for infection @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0167

29% of new-onset psoriasis pts in Stockholm cohort developed PsA over 9,255 person-years. Two prediction models (AUC 0.804) identify: ➡ who to refer ➡ who will progress Key predictors: HLA-B27, CRP, enthesitis, arthralgia. @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #OP0178:

The definition of MAS. MAS is secondary HLH. Other causes of secondary HLH are infections, malignancy and iatrogenic. Georgin-Lavialle S @RheumNow #EULAR2025 https://t.co/CpB78JBlVJ

Clinical Pearl's for #MAS Infections are still the most common cause. Next is malignancy... Then other causes like autoimmunity.. Ask a detailed history ! Sometimes check with the family when the pt can't give history.. #EULAR2025 @RheumNow https://t.co/fepercz5Af

Total serum IL 18 can help instead of CDC42 or NLCR4 genetic testing in #MAS Several monogentic mutations in primary HLH- these panels can be available.. #EULAR2025 @RheumNow
