Our #PyodermaGangrenosum registry shows real-world insights rdcu.be/eHFLH Highlights from 223 patients1️⃣Misdiagnosis common: 24% had ulcers mimicking PG 2️⃣Diagnosis evolves: 6% reclassified; mean delay ≈22 months 3️⃣Biopsy limits: Changed dx in only 16% @AmJClinDerma

Diagnostic delay in PG is linked to longer healing times, even after adjusting for ulcer size and comorbidities. Our latest response highlights these findings and the need for more research to improve patient outcomes. Read more here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kbVHhQtRbZ7n

Please join me at the Annual Meeting for the @MedDermSoc in San Diego: 2024 Annual Meeting Agenda - (meddermsociety.org). Very excited about this invitation "Pyoderma Gangrenosum: Current Landscape and Future Perspectives From UPGRADE"

I am very honored and excited to be the discussant for the upcoming 2024 Harvard Med Derm Retreat @bwhdermatology @HMSCombinedDerm @MostaghimiLab @DrMeganNoe See you all on Tuesday, March 26th at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston

@AMostaghimi @JosephMerolaMD @bwhdermatology Wow!!Congratulations my friend!!

Very much excited to help build on @JosephMerolaMD's efforts & expand dermatology trials @bwhdermatology. We're open for business! With over 50 dermatologists seeing 1000s of patients annually, we're equipped to recruit for even the most rare conditions. Contact me with ?s!

@ThePGguy @BrJDermatol @MedDermSoc Hi, I’ve got a family member who’s been dealing with #pyodermagangrenosum in a medical system here which seems to have no idea how to deal with it. Being written off to hospice/insurance said hospital stay was too long. How can I find out about this trial or other treatments?

We are working together in #UPGRADE paving a way forward to elevate the standards of #pyodermagangrenosum clinical trials; the core domain set for PG trials include now clinical signs, quality of life and pain @BrJDermatol @MedDermSoc #dermtwitter academic.oup.com/bjd/advance-ar…

@ramiefathy Sharing my lecture on #pyodermagangrenosum m.youtube.com/watch?v=cKmwMp…

#dermresidents: I've been compiling playlists of dermatology-related lectures/grand rounds presentations on YouTube to supplement residency program didactics & provide add'l info/perspectives on various topics in dermatology. You can find them at tinyurl.com/dermlectures

I am very excited to share our most recent study jamanetwork.com/journals/jamad…. We showed that a 2-point improvement in pain based on a numeric rating scale may indicate that #pyodermagangrenosum patients are responding to treatment @JAMADerm @MedDermSoc #medtwitter #RareDisease

I am excited to share our recent paper demonstrating that complement activates NETosis in #pyodermagangrenosum--important milestone to understand what triggers this devastating ulcerative disease. @theJIDJournal @MedDermSoc @PGangrenosum @SocInvestDerm authors.elsevier.com/a/1hflk,WJlcio3

Thanks to @MedDermSoc for supporting this project through the research committee. Determining the severity features of pyoderma gangrenosum are the first step to develop clinical guidelines @BrJDermatol #dermtwitter #RareDiseases academic.oup.com/bjd/article-ab…

“The rarity of PG combined with the difficulty of its diagnosis and treatment make it all the more important for providers to understand the legal challenges faced by patients with this condition.” bit.ly/3Ej3RTf @OHSUNews @uamshealth @KTS_Law @ThePGguy
