What are the RFs for progression of Pso to PsA?
🔸PsO disease severity - 3.2x risk —>PsA
🔸Phenotype - nail involvement
🔸Obesity - 6x higher risk of developing PsA
🔸MSK symptoms - arthralgia & heel pain

SGLT-2 inhibitors and the prevention of autoimmune rheumatic disease
SGLT-2 inhibitors offer benefits beyond glycemic control, such as cardioprotective and nephroprotective effects, and modest weight loss. A recent study also suggests they may have immunomodulatory effects and https://t.co/grsgHFQic5

Is tocilizumab equally effective in ischemic vs. non-ischemic GCA?
Ischemic = vision, jaw claudication, or CVA
Remission at 6 mo higher in non-ischemic group then with equalization at month 12
No major difference in GCs at month 12

RA may age the immune system by nearly two decades.
IgG glycome profiles showed inflammatory aging even in early RA, tied to low fitness & high inflammation.
Improving muscle & fitness may help reverse this biologic clock.

We need more biomarkers in GCA - what about fibrinogen?
Miller et al retrospectively compared CRP, ESR, and fibrinogen at different points in GCA dx
Fibrinogen (and ESR/CRP) only helpful prior to initiation GC with comparable performance

💡 Urinary biomarkers as the next frontier for monitoring lupus nephritis activity
🔹 Proteinuria didn’t track w/ histologic activity
🔹 IL-16 & sCD163 correlated at baseline only
🔹 Urinary Tenascin C & BAFF correlated w/ activity at 1 yr

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

Social media based outreach to pts for research
Out of 617,207 users engaged, 6 filled the contact form
Based on this social media (knowing also promotion costs) might not be the best strategy to recruit for clinical trials
