🚨 PUBLICATION ALERT 🚨 Association Between Discordance of Disease Activity Indices and Quantitative Sensory Testing Measures of Nociplastic Pain in Patients With #RheumatoidArthritis acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ac…

A study in the #JournalOfRheumatology (@jrheum) set out to investigate collagen turnover biomarkers in relation to the severity of fibrotic manifestations, key cytokines, and progression in #SystemicSclerosis (#SSc). jrheum.org/content/early/…

Northwestern Medicine researchers, including Carrie Richardson, MD, published their findings in Arthritis & Rheumatology showing that reduced intensity conditioning #StemCellTransplantation can improve long-term survival for select high-risk patients with #SevereSystemicSclerosis (SSc) and cardiac involvement.

I was honored to join the ACR in hosting this fantastic meeting. So inspiring to see the work being done by early career investigators around the world!

🎉 Congratulations to all the brilliant minds participating in the Global Research Exchange Program this week! 🌍✨ Hosted by Eric Ruderman, MD, at @NorthwesternU, this prestigious gathering brings together early career #rheum researchers from @eular_org, @APLAR_org, & @PanlarLeague in a powerful exchange of ideas & innovation. Taking place alongside #ACR25 in Chicago, this program exemplifies global collaboration at its finest.👏 @JointMD @NM_Rheumatology #GlobalResearchExchange

@SenBillCassidy You voted to confirm him. Children are going to die from communicable diseases that were nearly eradicated, and you have only yourself to blame. I hope you can sleep at night.

Of course, now the fear is that the ACIP will be filled up with people who know nothing about vaccines except suspicion. I’ve just spoken with Secretary Kennedy, and I’ll continue to talk with him to ensure this is not the case. wsj.com/opinion/rfk-jr…

We’re behind the scenes with Eric Ruderman, MD (@JointMD), Irene Blanco, MD, Anisha Dua, MD (@Anisha_Dua), and Carrie Richardson, MD (@CLRichardson312), as they discuss updates in #rheumatology for an upcoming Better Edge podcast episode. Please share your thoughts on what topics you think will be covered in this episode!

The rheumatology workforce shortage poses significant challenges to patient care, with predictions of a drastic mismatch between demand and available providers. Laura Arneson, MD, and Brian Jaros, MD, highlight contributing factors like rising disease prevalence, insufficient training funding and increased retirements, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This shortage results in longer wait times and limited access for patients, especially in rural areas. At Northwestern Medicine, we’re implementing initiatives to combat clinician burnout and enhance patient care through mentorship and dedicated nursing support.

Neil Young personally allowed the Harris-Walz campaign to use his song "Rockin' in the Free World" as Walz exited tonight, a campaign official says. (Walz personally chose the song, given it's a favorite of his.) Young previously sued the Trump campaign to stop them from using it.

#AWIR24 in 4 days. Looking forward to a great agenda and connecting with #StrongWomenInRheumatology and the men who support them! @Janetbirdope @JointMD @alvinwellsmd @DrPujaMehta1 @gwenesta_melton @AWIRGROUP @uptoTate @vksandhumd

Gut microbiota in SpA. Interesting data from @RWCSmtg @JointMD regarding the gut microbiome, both shared and distinct, in SpA, non-infectious AAU and Crohn's. #RWCS24 @RheumNow

@uptoTate @philseo @RheumNow Dr. Phil Seo: “If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were both diagnosed with vasculitis today, there is NO WAY they would need the same dose of medication. I mean, on a volume basis alone, Travis Kelce is at least two Taylor Swifts.”

It’s not a 2024 conference without a Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce references! #RNL2024 ⁦@philseo⁩ ⁦@RheumNow⁩

#RNL2024 day 2: - Vasculitis Pod with @anisha_dua and @philseo - STEP talks: @DrLisaCS on myositis malignancy screening, @EBRheum on ANCA myths, @RheumNow dead words in rheum - Spondy Pod with @JointMD @lihi_eder @LianneGensler
