Give a listen to my @RheumNow interview w Josh Hsieh, a rising star at #ACR24, who is presenting his first (of many) research project as a high school sophomore!
His work w @NamrataRheum explores what is known- & not yet known- for cancer survival in RA

Quaack etlal. PreCARA study (vs PARA, historical control). T2T in RA improves fertility - time to pregnancy 84 days vs 196 days. T2T strategy also led to less NSAIDs and prednisolone. @RheumNow #ACR24 Abstr#1647 #ACRbest https://t.co/vYCCUqpCLo https://t.co/PUHJOxgGbL

🔬 Personalised Approach to TNFi in RA
📊 N=50👇; 43 responders
🔑 Findings
💥TNFR2 rs1061622 polymorphism linked to TNFi response
💥 MR/RR alleles ⬆️ 10X odds non-response v. MM allele (OR = 10.1,p=0.04)
🎯Genotyping may guide personalized RA therapy.

🔬F-Calprotectin in Early RA
➡️ New-onset RA pts(n=104) had ⬆️ F-calprotectin vs controls(n=50)(71 v. 17µg/g; p<0.001)
🔑Higher F-calprotectin linked to ⬆️ DAS28 & NSAID use
⬇️levels @ 6 months Rx

GILZ is a negative regulator of the GC receptor, a potential steroid sparer target.
Dr. Miceli et al identified an E3 ligase of GILZ "E3-X" where deficiency leads to ⬆️ GILZ & ⬇️ inflammation.
More studies needed but a promising steroid sparer option.

Plenary II: pregnancy in RA
When a treat to target approach is used to achieve remission, pregnancy rates nearly similar to general population!
Time to pregnancy less than half that of non-T2T comparators

Infertility in women with RA 2x higher
Risk factors
- age
- disease activity
- use of NSAIDs
- use of pred >7.5mg/day
With T2T aiming for remission, fertility improves and becomes similar to the general population

Does psoriasis (Pso) affect radiographic progression in ankylosing spondylitis (AS)?
A study comparing radiographic spine assessment in AS patients with and without Pso reveals no significant differences in structural lesions. Male gender is a key factor in structural… https://t.co/z34FjHtjEJ
