Women in health care are at a breaking point — and they’re leaving 19thnews.org/2021/05/women-h… via @19thnews. Really interesting read #WomenInSTEM
Thanks to all #lupus patients participating to the #VACOLUP study 🙏 Here is the 3rd weekly report about #SARSCoV2 #vaccines in #SLE: 339 participants. Adverse events reported in ~50% ➡️ Minor or moderate in ~80% with ~3% of medically-confirmed flare and no #Covid19 case.

Considering the potential inequity #rheumatology and #arthritis patients may face in vaccine access, @CRASCRRheum has released a position statement. This is an evolving field and with more data the statement will be updated. #lupus #canada @MakeRheum @spondylitis @SPONDYLITISCA

Awesome succinct guidelines!#acrbest #acr20 @RheumNow

NEW ACR2020 Draft Guidelines for the Pharmacologic Treatment of RA All the guidelines in 2 tables! 1. MTX 1st, oral > SC 2. Minimize GC! 3. TTT TTT TTT 4. Biologic/tsDMARD > Triple Tx 5. Taper MTX 1st Close to my practice; suspect will be controversial! #ACR20 #ACRambassador

Important thoughts- how do we actually use the biologics in practice for the rare diseases that do not have many FDA approved options? @RheumNow #ACR20 abstract 1429

So much more work to be done- the traditional tools for estimating CVD in rheumatic patients are likely not accurate especially patients with SLE- abstract 1286 @RheumNow #acr20

Great thoughts- goes to our lack of understanding that the right genetic host and the environmental stimulus and boom- autoimmune disease—- so much more to learn! @RheumNow #ACR20

Fascinating hypothesis-generating abstract Prevalence of GPA associated with quarries; significant though not terribly strong @Lupusreference any thoughts re:cause? Would be curious to see if this is replicable in other areas and other disease states #ACR2020

Great poster-abstract 1260- chicken or egg- what comes first cognitive issues for patients with SLE then the Depression/anxiety or the opposite—-mental health is so important to address!! @RheumNow #ACR20

If we are still not understanding the barriers behind recieving the flu vaccine in rheumatic patients- what is going to be different about a potential COVID-19 vaccine? So much more to learn! Abstract 1135 @OSUWexMed @CreakyJoints @RheumNow #ACR20

Patient understanding is so important and the poor health outcomes physicians try to minimize- how do we do better? Numeracy is so important! @RheumNow #ACR20 @ellenpetersjdm

Great thoughts-how do we define seronegative RA as well? more studies like this are needed for patient centered medicine! @ACRheum @RheumNow @OSUWexMed #ACR20
Dr. Rachel Tate@uptoTate7 Nov 2020
MEASURE2 and COAST-W data stratified by TNFi inadequate responders may suggest different axSpA subset (domain?) response to TNFi vs IL17i. Dr. J. Ermann #ACR20 @RheumNow #ACRbest

Can we use urine testing ( and all the cells, proteins, complements, DNA, rna) to predict LN response? Plenary II @SalemAlmaani @BradRovin @RheumNow #ACR20 @OSUWexMed

Awesome poster- such a relevant clinical question - maybe we do not need to treat patients for hep B when they are hep B Ab+ when treated with IL6 and jaki abstract #0545 @RheumNow #ACr20 @OSUWexMed

Really interesting article as the #ACR20 is happening! Protective pre-existing antibodies for COVid-19! @RheumNow

Pre-existing, cross-reactive antibodies to #SARSCoV2 in people without prior infection. Mostly in children, age < 17. Mapped to S2 epitopes. Not shown to provide immunity or reduce transmission. science.sciencemag.org/conte… New @ScienceMagazine @KevinWNg @TheCrick @eleni_nastouli
