Latest CARE Arthritis app content addresses when to order spinal MRI in diagnostic evaluation of axSpA. Rheumnews also discusses the great paper in Nature identifying ETS2 as master regulator of inflammation. Guest peer reviewer is Dr. Nigil Haroon.
The July case on the CARE Arthritis app highlights why rheumatologists really have to understand at least something about MRI interpretation if optimal treatment is to be provided to patients. Too many still rely on radiography of the SIJ.
Quite a few people having trouble interpreting the current case on the CARE Arthritis app, especially the radiograph. And in a setting where imaging is crucial for choice of treatment in a his patient. That’s where MRI proves decisive.
How do I optimize care of patients with axSpA? By ensuring I know the language of MRI, the significance of the multiple lesions observed, and it’s role in management. Download the CARE Arthritis app to learn more in a fun and interactive way and get MOC credits while you do it.
Hard to attend meetings like ASAS and focus on comparative trivialities while this is happening in the land of my parents.
Happy New Year! Defeat of Russian evil will make it the best possible year for freedoms, democracy, and respect for human life across the world. Nothing is more important and everything else is trivial by comparison.
The forces of democracy, decency and dignity for human life need to do more to ensure a better future. I support the Victory Package and a quick end to the war.
Was asked to approve the SPARCC enthesitis index for a pharmaceutical company planning clinical trials in Russia. Why are companies still closing their eyes and ear to the evils and atrocities being committed in this war against Ukrainian civilians. Ukrainian lives matter!

Children’s cancer doctor killed in Russian missile strikes on Ukraine

A fitting epitaph for the disastrous German energy policy that enabled Russia’s war and led to the slaughter of thousands. Shame on that country for its minimalist support of Ukraine to ensure victory and a quick end to the war and Putin’s regime.
"Germany estimated that about 300,000 metric tons of methane entered the atmosphere as a result of the releases... roughly the same climate impact over a 20-year period as the annual emissions from about 5.48 million US cars." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
What about the hundreds of innocent Ukrainian children killed by Russian missiles. Once again the Pope and the RC church is MIA, incapable/unwilling to recognize and condemn evil.

“I think of that poor girl blown up by bomb under car seat in Moscow. The innocent pay for war! Let us think about this reality&say to each other: War is madness,” he said

A true portrait of courage. Both the leader and his people.

So many countries (China, India, Hungary, Iran and others) still supporting Russia's war and its committal of mass atrocities.

Serious on the ground reporting from a very brave journalist. Puts Amnesty International's reporting to shame.
In today's @DailyMailUK I go inside occupied Kherson. This is what #Russia 🇷🇺 does in all the places it occupies.
Never forget. Never turn your back on #Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Here is a full version of the song by the Swedish philarmonic. It reflects the pain and anguish felt by Ukrainians more than any words can.
"Пливе кача по Тисині" — Kyiv Soloists | Концерт в Стокгольмській філарм... youtu.be/J-CMxoNu5fc via @YouTube
The lyrics are a dialogue between a mother and a son going off to war. The song expresses the grief and mourning of Ukrainians, Syrians, Chechens, Georgians (all invaded and devastated by Russia) in ways that no words can express.
Well said by the Times of London. Agnes Callamard should resign. Amnesty International has debased itself and become a tool of Russian propaganda.

Today in #London, outside the @RussianEmbassy to the #UK , the police are protecting this banner following a call by the Ambassador, Andrey Kelin, to hang Ukrainian prisoners of war because "they deserve a humiliating death".

The face of Nazism in 2022. Lots of countries still covering their eyes and cashing in on cheap Russian energy….India, China, Germany, Hungary, the list goes on.
Another school was destroyed by the Russian army in Mykolayiv today. 221 education facilities in 🇺🇦 are completely destroyed, 1967 damaged since the start of the invasion. We will speak tomorrow about Russian crimes against Ukrainian education system here: teapawt.org/i/spaces/1DXxyDjYkoLJM
