Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), comprising ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axial SpA, is the main form of chronic inflammatory arthritis affecting the axial skeleton. What research in axial spondyloarthrits to be presented at ACR Convergence 2024 has the greatest potential for a positive impact on clinical care, treatment options or serve as the basis for future…
Pimentel et al. evaluated the influence of anti-infliximab antibodies on patients with axial spondyloarthritis. The researchers found that anti-infliximab antibodies were associated with decreased infliximab performance and difficulty tapering its dosage, as well as a good clinical response to a second, alternate tumor necrosis factor inhibitor.
“SLE has long been a disease with many clinical manifestations but few treatment options,” says Physician Editor Bharat Kumar, explaining why he thinks this article is a must-read. “That’s rapidly changing with advances in our knowledge of lupus, especially in the role of B-cells in triggering the onset and perpetuating disease activity of lupus.”
With thousands of research abstracts and posters being presented at ACR Convergence 2024, Nov. 14–19, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., figuring out which research is important today, which could prove important in the future, what has the potential to affect clinical care or prove the basis for future research is…
On Sunday, Nov. 17, at ACR Convergence 2024, three speakers will deliver a presentation on Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: Advances in Screening, Diagnosis and Patient Phenotyping. This session will have three 20-minute presentations that cover distinct aspects of RA-associated ILD from early identification of ILD through high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) text mining, to phenotyping…
