2 year extension data from SELECT-GCA: Patients in remission who remained on upadacitinib 15mg daily after 1 year had 90% reduced risk of flare compared to those who switched to placebo Higher rates zoster, CK elevation in UPA group #ACR25 @RheumNow #ACRBest https://t.co/jf8Dh2wCBj

💊 SGLT2i vs GLP-1 in Lupus Nephritis TriNetX evaluating the impact of GLP-1 agonists vs SGLT-2 inhibitors on outcomes of lupus nephritis 📊 GLP-1 use linked to better renal & CV outcomes in LN including: ⬇️ CKD progression ⬇️ Mortality ⬇️ Acute MI @RheumNow #ACR25 https://t.co/v4LgKFDt68

Could a sputum test predict risk for RA conversion in at-risk patients? 98 at risk pts, Converters had higher -BL sputum CCP levels -BL Sputum nucleosome and cit-nucleosome levels !although not asso after adjusting for sputum anti-CCP-IgA level In converters, correlation of https://t.co/bqmQqS1Jz5

Where do patients find informations about their RMD? Study of 705pts -80% search engines via smartphone 80.3% Different pattern within 2 yrs of diagnosis vs. later stage: -more frequent 19% vs 8% Most users find online content -understandable 80% -apply it in daily life 68% https://t.co/9IMvpt2ffr

More biomarkers predictive of conversion to clinical RA in at-risk pts Serum PAD4 & PAD 4 levels measured in CCP+ at-risk individuals -PAD4 (not PAD2) increased in RA Converters vs. non converters and HC -PAD4 levels Pre-RA = RA Within high CCP+ at risk individuals, higher https://t.co/LU5zUzui1G

Trying to reach RA, PsA patients on social media, to participate in studies? Simple, informational messages work for recruitment Message framing affects engagement but not recruitment The more we understand, the better we can reach the right people #ACR25 ABST0187 @RheumNow https://t.co/JoAthXhXvi

A simple flow cytometry analysis of peripheral blood monocytes to predicts progression to clinical RA or PsA in at-risk patients? Too good to be true! 284 RA 56 PsA 57 HC -HLA-DR higher in PsA -CD11c lower in RA But no clear difference between Converters and non Converters https://t.co/f3Sett4eXd

Rheumatologists love AI scribes in clinic. The way we interact is potentially well suited, and accuracy and synthesis quality is bound to improve. Is it inevitable that it will universally be standard practice for us soon? UCSF clinics #ACR25 @JYazdanyMD ABST0189 @RheumNow https://t.co/kOzfpLlvgD

CMV is a worry with high-dose steroids, especially in certain settings. The risk is far from universal, though: in this Korean cohort treated with high dose pred, almost no-one without risk factors got it. Meds are rarely the only infection risk factor #ACR25 ABST203 @RheumNow https://t.co/zLYhLVKgYL
