56 pts w/tracheobronchial stenosis in GPA, highly frustrating disease manifestation
Not surprising to see severe dx & prior intralesional tx assoc with incidence (ie necessity) of tracheal dilation
Leflunomide protective? Have others seen this?

This study evaluated effectiveness of SEC in PsA prevention of a subgroup of pts from SELENA: PsO pts w/o PsA & nail dse (n=292)
At 5 yrs:
🎯98.3% didn't develop PsA (yEAIR 0.49)
🎯 Sustained PASI, PGA 0/1
💡Longterm SEC effective for PsA prevention?

Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and the relevant microbiome have been linked to RA development and severity.
Study of monozygotic twins, where only one has RA, two diff cohorts:
lower SCFA
lower SCFA microbiome
Biomarkers, or even therapeutic target?

Classification of sacrioilitis using new york criteria vs a convolutional neural network. Abst#1421 #acr25 @RheumNow
Yes no results - accuracy was 70 percent. But the exact grade was right 22 percent times only! https://t.co/9o8OGesH0n

Global survey from the 2024 Adelphi Lupus Dse Specific Programme evaluated pt burden & MD/Pt Tx preferences:
Efficacy & safety - top 2 MD-reported reasons for tx initiation
OD, oral dosing-most preferred mode by MD & Pts
Shared decision-making is key

Need better lymphoma biomarkers in Sjögren’s?
APRIL joins BAFF as a promising candidate—high APRIL levels linked to ↑ B-cell activation, disease activity & future lymphoma.
Easily measurable, potentially targetable.

In pooled analysis of 9 PsA trials, 6.9% of secukinumab-treated patients had fungal infections, mostly mild/moderate. Candida rates were low (1.86–2.18/100 PY) and didn’t increase over time. 89.7% resolved fully; only 0.8% led to discontinuation. Abstract 1459 @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/kltMZVEDf9

Screening for ILD in RA patients:
CXR and PFTs by themselves are close to a waste of time.
When it comes to screening (high-risk) RA patients, it’s HRCT (or lung USS) or nothing really.
(in keeping with EULAR, ACR guidelines)
