Data from the RISE registry show that 9.3% of SLE pts had thrombocytopenia and a smaller percentage with mod-severe TP (2.7%). Severe TP was much rare. Large data, but well represented grp? @RheumNow #ACR24 abs2680

Prof Petri reports the ff predictors of fracture in SLE: -older age -Caucasian race -female sex ⚠️ Prednisone (but not recent IM triamcinolone or IV methylpred) is a MAJOR risk factor. When possible, avoid prednisone! @RheumNow #ACR24 #ACRbest abs2679 @rheumarhyme

Prior studies have shown that IFN is increased in non-lesional skin of SLE pts. In this study, they found a ⬆️ expression of IFN stimulated genes (ISGs) in pts w/ a history of CLE. No correlation w/ CLASI act & IFN scores but only few pts. @RheumNow #ACR24 abs2678

In prelim analysis of this controlled clinical trial, SLE pts w/ active dse who weres given addtl NAC for 3 mos had significantly reduced dse activity. Mechanism? NAC reduces rapamycin (mTOR) activation. Common AEs: nausea, vomiting @RheumNow #ACR24 abs2677

Did you know? 🤔 Capillaroscopy is performed on the nailfold because it is the area where the capillaries are fully visualized compared to the skin where capillary tips are only seen. This capillaroscopy session with Dr. Cutolo is so high yield I'd say! 🤓 @RheumNow #ACR24

In this study by Dr CArriens et al, there was no difference between the vaccine response to Influenza by either HAI or Ab levels in Anifrolumab-treated pts. AEs - mild, moderate No serious aEs 💉#vaccinate your pts on anifrolumab with influenza @RheumNow #ACR24 abs2424

The combe-like pattern is observed in pts with APS and also in overlap syndrome - presence of parallel microthrombi (orange arrow) arranged perpendicularly, hence combe-like @RheumNow #ACR24 @rheumarhyme
