#ACR25 Abstr#0855 Five extra patients were added to complete IMPACT Open Label Phase 2 trial of add-on Certolizumab in APS women + LAC+ve. Results stood: primary endpoint was met (adverse pregnancy outcome=19.6%; lower than 20% expected). Significant enough to adopt @RheumNow https://t.co/zhFVGYXiaU

In a retrospective study of TAK patients, ~about 1/3 developed new lesions on imaging over time
Most lesions:
- stenotic
- L carotid
- Abdominal aorta
- SMA
50% of the 1/3 = 2 or more lesions
Serial imaging is crucial!

PET and histologic discordance in aortitis
Of 5 aortitis patients who had PET/CT prior to aortic surgery with path, only 1 showed concordance (neg PET, neg biopsy)
4/5 patients had inflammatory biopsy with neg PET
Small # but PET is not perfect!

PMR patients need healthcare professionals who know a bit about their disease.
Survey of US HCPs, amongst responders:
- 68% were not aware/unsure about PMR
- of those who were aware, knowledge was… not great (see below)
PMR needs everyone’s respect

A largely understudied area:
Impact of peri-menopause in PsA
Toronto Cohort 473pts, HRT 1.5%
Peri menopause =
increase DAPSA, TJC, SJC, FACIT-fatigue, HAQ
compared to pre- and post-menopause
No association w/ BMI, but with fatigue
Less impact when education level increases https://t.co/bSuGxZCbGn
