COVID boosters in RA patients: getting the job done (versus healthy controls, irrespective of non-withheld DMARDs excluding ritux) @UChicagoMed #ACR23 ABST0416 @RheumNow https://t.co/HVRjC4dauw

I’m not TYK’ed! Another TYK2 #TAK-279 in #PsA RCT. Yup it works in ballpark of other PsA #Rx. #PASI75 45.7%. No obvious dose response w 15 and 30 mg daily but more #acne at higher dose. #ACR23 @ACRheum @RheumNow poster L12 Where to use vs #Deucravitinib? Too early to say as Ph2 https://t.co/nMkgOlUf6s

Does knowing ischemic stroke subtypes among SLE patients matter? This study by Hopia et al 👉54% of ischemic strokes in 56 SLE pts were APS/aPL & cardioembolic origin (accdg to TOAST) & +assoc with STAT4 gene. #ACR23 ABST0579 @RheumNow https://t.co/Ut8QPpQNQp

Can a picture tell a RA swollen joint? (would be super useful for telehealth/remote monitor if so) It's not prime time yet, but following with interest: using photos to pick up on skin folds/joint swelling Fascinating, but let's see it vs MRI, clinical #ACR23 ABST0402 @RheumNow https://t.co/TFKiD5J4c8

We gotta do better! Reproductive health counseling is poorly done- only a third rheumatologists surveyed ask pts about reproductive health: sexual activity, pregnancy desire, contraception. Abstr#0162 @_michgarcia @rheumnow #ACR23 https://t.co/r9tewu2I9N

Smartwatches to measures axSpA activity? Upadacitinib use in axSpA INCREASED physical activity based on a wearable medical device step count, especially in those who were originally sedentary. @RheumNow #ACR23 Abs#0530 #ACRbest https://t.co/oOFiQwMFZ6

SLE pts with +aCL IgG/IgM and LA had higher risk of developing atherosclerotic CVD accdg to this prospective study by Ding et al. . . . 🧐Again, SLE pts have ⬆️CV risk so always risk stratify and intervene early. #ACR23 ABST0552 @RheumNow https://t.co/QhttQZzp8G

Year in Review by Dr. P Seo NORD-STAR trial: ⭐️Abatacept or Certolizumab >> Tociluzumab > triple therapy in tx of 812 early RA patients based on clinical & radiographic results ➡️tx-naive, all got MTX ➡️mod-sev dz activity ➡️randomized to 48 wks therapy #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/vy2uYuyOse

Interesting question... but feels like some time related bias or perhaps confounding? Seems implausible that MTX & biologic would be protective for PsO & harmful for PsA @RheumNow #ACR23 Abstr 0498 https://t.co/pSRoLHRTAm

NAFLD a real issue in RA Does DMARD choice matter? National Taiwanese data newly dx RA n=41791 HCQ reduced NAFLD risk: adjHR 0.75 (other RF: obesity, NSAIDs, even low-dose PNL; but not DM, MTX) Can HCQ improve liver health in RA?

C-VIEW study on certolizumab use in preventing anterior uveitis in high risk pts with axSpA. All pts were B27+ w/ at least one episode of anterior uveitis Uveitis flares lower in certolizumab group compared to non-bDMARD use @RheumNow #ACR23 Abs#0524 https://t.co/CfnhzStBMv
