At #EULAR2026 we presented our work OP071 on synovial biopsy–driven therapeutic stratification in #PsoriaticArthritis. Our preliminary data suggest that CD117+ myeloid synovitis may support IL-17/IL-23 axis targeting in selected PsA patients. #PsA #Rheumatology #PrecisionMedicine

🚀4th edition of #Reumasport has just concluded Challenging the paradigm: patients with rheumatic diseases are not fragile → they are trainable💪 🔥Multidisciplinary approach, exercise as therapy,real-world vision 🚀 #ReumasportStudyGroup is now launched IG: @reumasport_official

🤔Does prior IL-17i exposure affect retention in PsA? 🌍Real-world data from the BIRRA Study Group (868 patients across 24 centres) suggest no major impact. 💡Evidence supporting IL-17i cycling in selected patients. 🔗 link.springer.com/epdf/10.10… #PsoriaticArthritis #Rheumatology

🧠 Joint pain in C282Y homozygous patients? Think beyond OA. Think HA. 📍 MCP 2–3 involvement, hook osteophytes, early onset, and the iconic “iron fist” are now part of a validated scoring system (specificity 93.3%, sensitivity 71.4%).
