Sjögren's Foundation Steven Zhao A recent study by Vasco C Romao et al. investigates predictors of worsening systemic involvement in patients with Sjögren’s disease. 👉 Younger age at diagnosis and positive biopsy and rheumatoid factor are predictors of systemic disease. 👉 bit.ly/3YfTA4q







Amazing talk by Christoph Thaiss at #ACR24 on the role of stress on inflammation! One of the highlights for me so far. Small room though, more attention needed to this important topic we see every day in clinic. Stress —> inflammatory response—>IMIDs, flares, poor outcomes 🔥



Happy to present at #ACR24 our first data on scRNAseq and spatial transcriptomics in #Sjogrens. Minor salivary glands of early and late SjD revealed many different types of cell populations. More to come! Joint effort Luis Graca lab iMM with #rheum & #path ULS Santa Maria




Loiseau et al. 4700 pSS, 47000 comparators. pSS associated with increased risk of every CV/VTE outcome. Did not have that in my priors! Dr. John Cush #ACR24 Abstr#2631 acrabstracts.org/abstract/risk-…





Conaghan et al. LEVI-04, neurotrophin-3 inhibitor in knee OA. 518 patients. Significant improvements in WOMAC pain and function, and PGA. So sign of any increase in rapidly progressive OA (as with NGF inhibitors) Dr. John Cush #ACR24 Abstr#L15 acrabstracts.org/abstract/levi-…


Live from #ACR24: Promising results from PHOENYCS GO trial! DZP, a CD40L inhibitor, showed a 49.5% BICLA response at Week 48 (vs 34.6% with PBO+SOC). Hierarchical significance not achieved. Steroid tapering to ≤7.5 mg/day achieved in 72.4% of patients. André Ribeiro



Promotion of #PhysicalActivity is essential at all stages of adult life ✅Consistently associated with lower risk of mortality across all ages ✅Greater reduction in risk in older ages especially at high levels of physical activity 👉🏽jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… via JAMA Network Open
