@sclerodermaUM @Iracon2023 @IndianRheum @kunalchandwar @ERheumat @scleroderma @BTSrespiratory @atscommunity @RajkiranDudam When would you suggest adding antifibrotics? Upfront or only in rapidly progressive cases?

@ruby_taparia @Iracon2023 @IndianRheum @kunalchandwar @ERheumat @scleroderma @BTSrespiratory @atscommunity @RajkiranDudam Great slides. Few from the 2023 ACR ILD guidelines. 1. Agree that MMF is first line in MAJORITY of patient. 2. TCZ/ RTX in appropriate settings as 1st line. 3. Dont forget close f/u once starting Rx. 4. HSCT is an important consideration for those failing 1st or 2nd line Rx

🫁 involvement in SSc by the distinguished Prof. Yannick Allanore •Outcomes are not dependent on pattern but on extent of involvement •Screen all patients- heterogeneous progression • Risk ⬆️- short duration, dcSSC, antiTopo1+ •ACA- protects • 1st line Rx- MMF #IRACON23

•"LUPUS FOG" 🌫️- follow the secrets 🤐 •Neuropsychiatric testing- MOCA better •Rx- Inflammation+Thrombosis- target both •Be watchful of AED- can aggravate •No great biomarker- IFNa correlates

A fantastic presentation by Prof Laurent Arnaud captivating the audience & making it the highlight of the conference on NPSLE🧠 What catches the 👀-brilliant slides!🌈 • Manifestations-nonspecific;Only 18-30% attributable to SLE •56% of gen pop fit NPSLE criteria #IRACON23

•Best Ix- MRI BUT can be normal •Imaging findings- non specific ; m.c. White matter hyper intensities • Newer imaging techniques - DSC- MRI, Diffusion tensor imaging • Useful tool- 🆕 weighted algorithm •3 pronged approach to Dx #IRACON23
