Expert Perspectives on Clinical Challenges: Management of Relapses in Giant Cell Arteritis In Arthritis & Rheumatology doi.org/10.1002/art.43…

20 years after their initial MPA model, Xiao, Falk & Jennette publish a groundbreaking paper in @Kidney_Int (doi.org/10.1016/j.kint…). They introduce 3 new mouse models for #ANCA #vasculitis, using anti-MPO abs with different stimuli to mimic MPA, GPA, and EGPA phenotypes. 🧵1/5

NEW RESEARCH—Model-based clustering of a federated international cohort produces a data-driven subclassification of ANCA-associated #vasculitis that exhibits higher predictive value than current approaches for key outcomes thelancet.com/journals/lanrh… @fairvasc @Vasculitis_Lund

Relapses are frequent in GCA. In this paper we review the most relevant features of this important complication. Honored to have collaborated with great world experts in the field: T Kermani; S Unizony; G Murgia; S Prieto; C Salvarani; and E Matteson pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39048072/

@DamanLangguth Congratulations !

First look at my new lab and that’s only half of it

Today I received an amazing ANCA vintage metal sign!! Handcrafted work done by the great Davide Avanzo from Rótulos Antiguos, BCN (Instagram @rotulosantiguos).

Happy to share our new paper leaded by Pep Hernández & João Fernandes-Serodio. A large cohort of patients with ANCA vasculitis is analyzed! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38462959/

What can my patient with vasculitis expect during pregnancy? What can I do to minimize pregnancy complications? How can I manage vasculitis during pregnancy? Difficult questions! Amazing effort by Dr Sara Beça, @gerardespinosa5, et al. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@AKronbichler @TheLancet @IMBajema @AnnetteBruchfe1 Dear A! Congratulations. This will be a nice reading for my weekend.

🚨 After 3 1/2 years of work, I am very proud to share our most recent review published today in @TheLancet, together with my amazing colleagues @IMBajema @AnnetteBruchfe1 and Drs Gianna Mastroianni Kirsztajn and John Stone, focusing on AAV. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ic21V-4XL4UH

Que estaría pensando hace tres años…😂#MyTwitterAnniversary

@drdavidliew @RheumNow With GC a lot seems to be out of tradition indeed! Always nice to hear from you David! Great effort as always. Keep us updated with some relevant abstracts.

@MA_ALBA_vascul @RheumNow I hear you - but do we have proof that helps with that, either? I wonder whether it’s something we keep on doing primarily out of tradition rather than science. Thanks for the comment! #ACR22

GCA with visual symptoms: do you hit the pulse iv methylpred button? Why? 260 pts from Lund 🇸🇪 no doubt some channelling, but: IVMP no better and more steroid exposure/toxicity This adds to existing doubts. Time to seriously question this practice? ABST0459 #ACR22 @RheumNow
