The ACR/CHEST ILD Guidelines in Practice, a video
In collaboration with the American College of Chest Physicians, the ACR released two new comprehensive guidelines aimed at improving the screening, monitoring, and treatment of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) secondary to systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs). Recently, Sindhu R. Johnson, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at the University of Toronto, Canada, director of the Toronto Scleroderma Program and principal investigator for the guideline, and Elana J. Bernstein, MD, MSc, Florence Irving associate professor of medicine in the Division of Rheumatology at Columbia University, New York City, and co-first author, presented a webinar to talk about how the guidelines were developed and present some of the recommendations and their rationale: Watch the recording now!

Advancing Rheumatology Care Through State & Local Societies

Chris Adams, MD, FACP, FACR  |  November 6, 2020

As his term as chair of the Affiliate Society Council draws to a close, Chris Adams, MD, FACP, FACR, reflects on the personal and professional rewards of volunteer leadership and the importance and impact of coordinated state-level advocacy efforts for the future of rheumatology.

Ticagrelor Lowers the Risk for OA Compared with Clopidogrel

Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  October 28, 2020

Preclinical models have provided important insights into the pathogenesis of OA and potential pathways for therapeutic intervention, including adenosine. Ticagrelor and clopidogrel are both used in patients with coronary artery disease, but only ticagrelor increases extracellular adenosine levels. In this study, treatment with ticagrelor was associated with a 29% lower risk of developing OA than treatment with clopidogrel over five years of follow-up.

New Regulation Would Eliminate ‘Duration of Status’ for Physicians with J-1 Visas

Keri Losavio  |  October 23, 2020

Editor’s note: On Oct. 26, 2020, the ACR submitted comments opposing the proposed change. The Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Bureau issued a notice of proposed rulemaking on Sept. 25 that would change the admission period of academic student and exchange visitor aliens, as well as representatives of foreign information media, from duration of status…

Duke Researchers Create a Type 1, Type 2 Lupus Disease Model

Catherine Kolonko  |  October 20, 2020

A new disease model for lupus tackles issues with fatigue and other serious conditions that, although quite common among patients, get less attention because they fall outside classic symptoms associated with inflammation, a debilitating force behind systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The model features subtypes to cate­gorize two main groups of symptoms into type 1, typically…

Hand Pain Depends on More Than Osteoarthritis Severity & Psych Profile

Thomas R. Collins  |  October 19, 2020

Pain is the main reason patients with osteoarthritis (OA) seek medical help because of the substantial burden it imposes and its impact on quality of life. Pain can actually change the way the central nervous system works. This central sensitization results in more pain with less provocation. And according to results from an observational study…

Race As a Risk Factor for Sjögrens Syndrome

Ruth Jessen Hickman, MD  |  October 19, 2020

A new study in Arthritis Care & Research highlights potential differences in incidence, the presentation of prominent symptoms and laboratory findings in African Americans and Native Americans with Sjögren’s syndrome compared with white populations. Native Americans appear to be at higher risk of the disease, although they often display fewer of the classic symptoms. Importantly,…

A New Frailty Index Aids Lupus Assessment

Vanessa Caceres  |  October 19, 2020

A recently developed frailty index may be a valuable way to quantify vulnerability in patients with systemic lupus erythe­matosus (SLE), according to a study published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.1 When evaluating SLE, physicians consider a patient’s disease activity, organ damage and health-related quality of life. The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC)/ACR Damage Index (SDI)…

Outpatient Medicine in the Post-COVID-19 Era of Telemedicine

Richard L. Allman, MD, MS, FACP, FACR  |  October 19, 2020

Our hospitals have had their finest hour in the care of acutely ill inpatients during the COVID-19 pandemic, including dealing with allocation decisions fairly and transparently, maximizing good outcomes and remaining cognizant of the enduring ethics of healthcare. The honorable traditions of self-effacing conduct and acceptance of some level of personal risk by healthcare professionals…
