Great thoughts- goes to our lack of understanding that the right genetic host and the environmental stimulus and boom- autoimmune disease—- so much more to learn! @RheumNow #ACR20.
Fascinating hypothesis-generating abstract. Prevalence of GPA associated with quarries; significant though not terribly strong. @Lupusreference any thoughts re:cause?. Would be curious to see if this is replicable in other areas and other disease states. #ACR2020

Great thoughts-how do we define seronegative RA as well? more studies like this are needed for patient centered medicine! @ACRheum @RheumNow @OSUWexMed #ACR20.
MEASURE2 and COAST-W data stratified by TNFi inadequate responders may suggest different axSpA subset (domain?) response to TNFi vs IL17i. Dr. J. Ermann #ACR20 @RheumNow #ACRbest

Really interesting article as the #ACR20 is happening! Protective pre-existing antibodies for COVid-19! @RheumNow.
Pre-existing, cross-reactive antibodies to #SARSCoV2 in people without prior infection. Mostly in children, age < 17. Mapped to S2 epitopes. Not shown to provide immunity or reduce transmission. New @ScienceMagazine .@KevinWNg @TheCrick @eleni_nastouli.
