Daniella Schwartz

@FCASorg @UPMC Thanks for promoting our study!!

More than 75% of Jewish medical professionals and students have been exposed to antisemitism since 10/7, according to a new article in the Journal of Religion and Health. Dr. Daniella Schwartz of @UPMC led the study, which included research by @FCASorg. jns.org/medical-profes…

@MCMarquesMD Thanks!!

And an amazing talk by Dr Schwartz reviewing all the amazing ways in which A20 can affect the immune system, and the diversity of presentations that come with haploinsufficiency of A20

So excited for the inborn errors of immunity session. Great start with the best dressed panel @canna_lab , @TheVogelLab

@MichaelOmbrello @DGlaucomflecken I own it. Weirdness accepted.

I’ll go further & say the only people who should be allowed to do research are all the weird little guys who can’t do anything else. The ones who yell out p values in their sleep, who forsake all personal relationships in the pursuit of knowledge & are perfectly happy about it.

Excellent new study by @casanova_lab, @anne_puel and MANY friends/colleagues. Patients with #immunodeficiency caused by alt NF-kB deficiency develop anti-IFN autoAbs

@Primary_Immune Just started following. Sending love and support. I also stand with Israel and hope for a safe return. Hits very close to home. 🇮🇱💔

@AAlliance_SAID @rheum_cat @GrantSchulert @psufka @ACRheum @MichaelOmbrello @AmandaOmbrello Totally!

@rheum_cat @GrantSchulert @psufka @ACRheum @MichaelOmbrello @AmandaOmbrello @SchwartzLab9 want to help on this for an adult rheum submission?

What's unfortunately about the management of autoinflammatory diseases is that I see many rheumatologists that feel completely uncomfortable in their management, even after the patient has a genetically confirmed diagnosis. Many won't even help the patient get on anakinra (Kineret) or canakinumab (Ilaris), which tend to be the mainstay of treatment for most of these patients. Biggest teaching point I'd have for anyone listening is to not be afraid to use higher doses of these - especially anakinra. You should be comfortable having your patients use as much as 900mg/day (no typo) as an outpatient. (I wish it came in at least 300mg syringes). As an inpatient, for severe flares, working with your pharmacist to run a continuous 24 hour infusion of anakinra at doses of 600-1200mg/24hr is a great way to treat severe flares. (also works *extremely* well for macrophage activation syndrome [MAS]/hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis [HLH]).

@GrantSchulert @psufka @ACRheum @MichaelOmbrello @AmandaOmbrello @AAlliance_SAID Great idea — would love to be a part of this! Also, feel free to refer any to me over at Pitt — we’re not too far away and would be happy to take over your aging-out autoinflammatory patients.

@psufka This would be a great @ACRheum #ACR2024 proposal - autoinflammation for the adult rheumatologist! I certainly struggle to find MDs to transition folks to. Tagging also the amazing @MichaelOmbrello @AmandaOmbrello @AAlliance_SAID

@SameerudDowla @AlonLeeGreen But "Black Lives Matter" can't be interpreted as pro-ethnic cleansing. "From the river to the sea" means Israel no longer exists, and Jewish residents are evicted/killed. There are better ways to advocate for Palestinians that don't imply ethnic cleansing. adl.org/resources/blog…

@SchwartzLab9 @AlonLeeGreen The analogy is more like “Black Lives Matter”, which is only hateful if you add a silent “and White Lives Don’t” to it. Similarly, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is only hateful if you imagine a silent “but only for Palestinians”.

It needs to be said: We, the Jewish people who live in Israel, are not going anywhere. Too often we here calls to "go back where we came from", or "from the river to the sea..", and the only answer to that is the simple fact that millions of Jews are going to remain on this land.

@SameerudDowla @AlonLeeGreen This is comparable to the Confederate flag. In a 2020 poll, many ppl said it's a symbol of "Southern pride" and not racist. But it's still an offensive/racist symbol, even if the meaning is different to some. Saying otherwise normalizes racism (or, for this phrase, anti-Semitism)

@AlonLeeGreen Just to speak to the second note there, about the common misunderstandings and myths around the phrase “from the river to the sea”, I think it’s worth exploring a bit about what people mean by that when they chant it. tl;dr, it is NOT a call for removal. decolonizepalestine.com/myth/from-the-…

Delighted to announce - the @UPMC Autoinflammatory Center is OPEN. Dr. Gedik's @ChildrensPgh website coming soon! Thanks @PittRheum, @AAlliance_SAID, @Info4PI, and @AmandaLeighFink for your support. #autoinflammatory #immunodeficiency #IEI #SAIDs upmc.com/services/rheum…

This is chilling and 🎯. Thanks @DonnyDeutsch

Appalling videos from Makhachkala, Russia, where an angry mob broke into the airport searching for Israeli citizens on the flight from Tel-Aviv. This is not an isolated incident in Makhachkala, but rather part of Russia’s widespread culture of hatred toward other nations, which is propagated by state television, pundits, and authorities. The Russian foreign minister has made a series of antisemitic remarks in the last year. The Russian President also used antisemitic slurs. For Russian propaganda talking heads on official television, hate rhetoric is routine. Even the most recent Middle East escalation prompted antisemitic statements from Russian ideologists. Russian antisemitism and hatred toward other nations are systemic and deeply rooted. Hatred is what drives aggression and terror. We must all work together to oppose hatred.

Cornell is aware of the rape and death threats Jewish students have received, and the police are investigating them. These universities (Cornell, Columbia, Harvard…) are solely responsible for allowing a climate in which Jewish students are afraid for their lives. Fix it.

Hamas terrorist interrogation reveled that the terror group's headquarter is indeed based under Al Shifa hospital because they know Israel "won't strike" a hospital.

Not mincing words anymore… This isn’t about freedom or peace— for the Free Palestine crowd it is about the complete destruction of the only Jewish state, and formation of another Arab state in its place.

@Nancy_Kanwisher Wow. Really? 1. River = Jordan. Sea = Mediterranean. In between = Israel. Meaning = dismantling Israel (adl.org/resources/back…) 2. Source article is published in a hard-left mag that has justified terrorism (jewishcurrents.org/when-is-violen…)

What Does “From the River to the Sea” Really Mean? Yousef Munnayer: jewishcurrents.org/what-does-from…

What Does “From the River to the Sea” Really Mean? I too have skipped this chant at protests, and urged others to avoid it, because it can sound like a call to violence. But Yousef Munnayer's 2021 column explains what most Palestinians mean when they use this phrase:

If President Biden @POTUS can say it so clearly, why can't the Presidents of @Columbia, @nyuniversity, @UCBerkeley, @Harvard, @CUNY, @GWtweets, and many other "esteemed" colleges? Because they are COWARDS. Because they LACK MORAL COURAGE Because they are UNFIT TO BE LEADERS.

Do you see patients with a #raredisease, #immunodeficiency, or #autoinflammation? You may not even know! I recorded this @UPMC/@PittRheum on #genetictesting in rheum. Check it out and pls repost: upmcphysicianresources.com/cme-courses/in… #CME #MedEd #MedTwitter #FOAMed #Genetics #GeneChat

Love this tweetorial! I just did a CME that says the same thing over an hour -- nice job paring it down to 13 tweets! upmcphysicianresources.com/cme-courses/in…
