Peter Taylor on Pre-RA: If Pre-RA is too late for interception, shall we start screening general population? We have to remember RA is a RARE disease Pre-test of RA per year per person would be 0.00025% for primary prevention: A needle in a haystack? @RheumNow @APLAR_org https://t.co/LKGtz1P7sl

Peter Taylor describing the range of potential benefits of Interception strategies in Pre-RA: A) From Ideal: full interception B) To Good outcome: stratified intervention based on high risk population for delay/interception C) To ?Beneficial: attenuate severity of established RA https://t.co/6mqA9tV7ME

Prof Takeuchi on DMARDs treatment and regional disparities For similar dose, serum concentration of the polyglutamate (active) form of MTX is much higher in Japanese than US patients And also high levels achieved much quicker in Japanese than US patients This is strong https://t.co/ikp63wWifj

What’s new in RA Pathogenesis in #APLAR25 by Ellen Gravellese Take home message: there is still hope for synovial biopsies to be a biomarker for prediction of response to treatment As a synovial biopsy expert, I am not convinced of this one, but time will tell @APLAR_org https://t.co/EEw5ncKa1r

Can we prevent #rheumatoidarthritis? Dr. Gravallese shares this interesting slide that summarizes the different disease prevention trials in RA…..they have managed to delay disease onset but prevention is still in question. @RheumNow #APLAR25 @rheumarhyme @marklagacmd https://t.co/qhGYnNL5Ek

📍Smoking, obesity and low Vit D are significant risk factors for Pre-RA. 📍Subdoligranulum arthritogenic strain is a newly described infectious agent implicated in the pathogenesis of pre-RA @RheumNow #ACR25 @rheumarhyme https://t.co/ZzZZlfdKmk
