Contrasts in pathomechanisms and treatment targets between adult and paediatric inflammatory myositis
👁🗨Summary of Mechanisms
👁🗨DM/JDM👉🏻 CD4 and TH17 mediated
👁🗨 Both Inflammatory and non inflammatory factors contribute
#EULAR2022
👁🗨 Type I,II IFN sig
👉🏻 DM/JDM>>ASS/PM>IBM>IMNM
👉🏻 Mi2/TIF/MDA5>>Jo1>>SRP/HMCGR
👁🗨⬆️INF levels 👉🏻⬆️ disease activity
👁🗨pDC and mDC mediated
👁🗨Mediate Muscle atrophy(perifasicular) and Capillary loss

🧵 1/9 Key insights on AAV treatment from #ACR24. Dr. Langford's session highlighted the latest guidelines and therapeutic strategies. Let's dive in! #Vasculitis #Rheumatology
🎯 2/9 AAV Treatment Goals: Remission, relapse prevention, minimize toxicity, organ damage, and optimize patient quality of life. Keep these in mind when choosing therapies. #AAV #TreatmentGoals
📚 3/9 Guidelines: ACR/VF (2021), KDIGO (2024), EULAR (2022), PANLAR (2023) - all provide crucial recommendations. Familiarize yourself with these! #AAVGuidelines #EvidenceBasedMedicine
(1/10) #ACR24 Key Sarcoidosis Takeaways for Rheumatologists:
Sarcoidosis diagnosis relies on clinical probability, not "proof."
Patient-reported outcomes (ROS) are crucial for understanding disease extent & activity, guiding us to occult disease.
Diagnostics have limitations!
(2/10) #ACR24 Sarcoidosis epidemiology is complex.
Prevalence & incidence vary globally, with higher rates in Black individuals & females.
While ~80% achieve resolution in 2 years, disparities in diagnosis & treatment lead to poorer outcomes.
More research is needed!
(3/10) #ACR24 Sarcoidosis etiology remains unknown.
Environmental, occupational, & infectious agents are suspected triggers.
Genetic predisposition plays a role.
Remember to consider medication reactions (TNFi's, ARVs, CTx) in the differential diagnosis.

12S129. Purple Peripheries: Vasculopathy VS Vasculitis
Philip Seo is awesome as always
The most common cause is Cardiovascular followed by Rheumatic
More commonly vasculopathy than Vasculitis

12S130. Rheumatology Secrets and Pearls
Dr John Stone, at his best
🎯RA may present with asymmetric arthritis
🎯AAV might present with migratory oligoarthritis, which is steroid responsive
🎯Only a quarter of RA patients go into remission during pregnancy
#ACR2022#ACR22
12S130. Rheumatology Secrets and Pearls
🎯Following trends is more important in pregnancy that stat values (ESR/Complements)
🎯Proteinuria⬆️ creat ⬇️ due to ⬆️ GFR and maternal Blood volume in pregnancy
#ACR2022#ACR22
12S130. Rheumatology Secrets and Pearls
🎯Puffy fingers may be the first sign of SSc in RNApolIII SSc and No Raynaud's - May present with SRC
🎯ACEi are best kept reserved for SRC

12S130. Rheumatology Secrets and Pearls
Jason Kolfenbach, with his wonderful pearls 1. Vasculitis Pearls
🦪For Steroids ➡️ Less is more
🦪Be very careful in stopping Rx in AAV pts
🦪Don't give up on PLEX in suspected AAV Anti-GBM may have ANCA positivity.
#ACR2022#ACR22
12S130. Rheumatology Secrets and Pearls
🦪Not all Skin thickening = SSc
🦪Lipodermatosclerosis (with inverse 🍾 sign)
🦪Thyroid disease important mimics
🦪PPI can cause diarrhoea
🦪FVC/DLCO ratio can help diagnose ILD/PAH
#ACR2022#ACR22
12S130. Rheumatology Secrets and Pearls
🦪30% SLE pts have APS
🦪DLE uncommonly progresses to SLE
🦪PPIs, NSAIDs, Anti-HTN meds commonly cause SCLE
