    Important methodology podcast this week, covering a lot of ground with expert epidemiologist Rishi Desai.

    E113: CAR-T is Coming to Rheumatology

    Exciting podcast this week about the upcoming / impending use of CAR-T in rheumatology. Highly recommend rheumatologists learn about this now; it's going to be a big thing for many years to come. In a future episode I will lay out my case for skepticism, but for now I think a good run down of the first big published series will be enough!    NEJM CAR-T Case Series: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2308917 Nature Review Article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41584-024-01139-z

    E111: PEXIVAS Subsets with Mike Walsh & Mats Junek

    At ACR23 I had a twitter-disagreement about steroid tapers from PEXIVAS with Mike Walsh, the lead author on the PEXIVAS trial. He kindly agreed to join me for a moderated discussion. Loved hearing his perspective and have to admit he pulled me closer to his practice... but not all the way there. Longer podcast than usual but I prefer to release audio uncut and this took as long as it needed! Hoping y'all enjoy.    Articles referenced during the podcast:  PEXIVAS: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1803537 PEXIVAS DAH Subset: https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rccm.202308-1426OC Fussner Abstract: https://acrabstracts.org/abstract/characteristics-and-outcomes-of-participants-with-and-without-diffuse-alveolar-hemorrhage-in-the-plasma-exchange-and-glucocorticoids-in-severe-anca-associated-vasculitis-pexivas-trial/ Walsh Meta Analysis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35217545/

    E110: Rheum4Debate - Screening for RA-ILD with Joshua Solomon and Scott Matson

    Rheum4Debate is back! In this episode I moderated a debate between two pulmonologists about RA-ILD. As a reminder, Rheum4Debate is an Oxford-style debate show, where two debators disagree over a motion during 3 rounds of discussion. The motion for todays show was:  “Asymptomatic patients with rheumatoid arthritis and high risk features for interstitial lung disease should be screened using pulmonary function testing and a high resolution CT scan” Joshua defended the motion and Scott argued against it. I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and am sure you will as well!

    E109: Abatacept for Pre-RA - the ARIAA Study

    Nice study this week on an important topic. Can we prevent the development of rheumatoid arthritis by initiating DMARDs during a preclinical phase? Lots to discuss: what does it mean to be "pre-clinical?" How does this fit with other studies of this nature?    Check it out! https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(23)02650-8/fulltext
