Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) occurs in up to 80% of patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM), and is a leading cause of morbidity…Abstract Number: 1092 • ACR Convergence 2020
NMR-Based Serum Metabolomics, Is It Different in Clinico-Serological Clusters of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis?
Background/Purpose: Idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM) are rare and heterogenous. Myositis specific antibodies (MSA) show mutual exclusivity and identify specific clinical phenotypes1. Most biomarker studies are…Abstract Number: 1093 • ACR Convergence 2020
Impact of Blood Flow Restricted Strength Training on Myogenic Stem Cells and Myofiber Hypertrophy in Sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis Patients
Background/Purpose: Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is clinically characterised by marked progressive muscle weakness and impaired physical function. Physical training has become an area of…Abstract Number: 1094 • ACR Convergence 2020
Long Term Open Label Extension of Study of Tofacitinib in Refractory Dermatomyositis
Background/Purpose: Tofacitinib is a pan-JAK inhibitor that demonstrated safety and efficacy in a 12 week open label trial of 10 subjects with refractory dermatomyositis (NCT03002649).…Abstract Number: 1095 • ACR Convergence 2020
Avascular Necrosis in the Hopkins Myositis Cohort: A Single Center Experience
Background/Purpose: To assess the prevalence of avascular necrosis (AVN) in a large cohort of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and define the major associated…Abstract Number: 1096 • ACR Convergence 2020
Assessing Interstitial Lung Disease in a Racially Diverse Population with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common extra-muscular manifestation of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myositis (IIM) and increases risk of mortality. Prior studies and registries have focused on either smaller cohorts or predominantly Caucasian/European populations. Our aim was to better characterize the…Abstract Number: 1097 • ACR Convergence 2020
Immunophenotypic Characterization of Myeloid Derived Supressor Cells (MDSCs) and Their Relationship to the Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Inflammatory Myopathies
Background/Purpose: Myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) including their granulocyte (Gr-MDSCs) and monocyte (Mo-MDSCs) subtypes constitute a cellular subset with potent immune regulatory capacity. An augmented…Abstract Number: 1098 • ACR Convergence 2020
Anti-cortactin Autoantibodies Are Associated with Key Clinical Features in Adult Myositis but Are Rarely Present in Juvenile Myositis
Background/Purpose: To define the prevalence and clinical phenotype of anti-cortactin autoantibodies in adult and juvenile myositis.Methods: In this longitudinal cohort study, anti-cortactin autoantibody tiers were…Abstract Number: 1099 • ACR Convergence 2020
High Burden of Infections in Indian Patients with Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy: Validation of Observations from the MyoCite Dataset
Background/Purpose: Infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), more so in India.[1-3] The objective of this study was…Abstract Number: 1100 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Hand Osteoarthritis Registry of New York University: Impacts of Gender and Obesity
Background/Purpose: Hand osteoarthritis (HOA) data is often obtained from large knee OA cohorts. Targeted HOA cohorts in Europe have shed light on this disease, but…Abstract Number: 1101 • ACR Convergence 2020
Effect of Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation in Erosive Hand Osteoarthritis: Results from an Open-label Non-randomized Pilot Trial
Background/Purpose: Beyond classical effect on vegetative functions, the activation of the vagus nerve inhibits inflammation and reduces the pain signal. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can…Abstract Number: 1102 • ACR Convergence 2020
Neuropathic Pain in Inflammatory Hand Osteoarthritis(OA) Lowers Quality of Life and May Require Another Approach Than Anti-inflammatory Treatment
Background/Purpose: To investigate whether neuropathic pain is present in patients with inflammatory hand OA, to investigate characteristics of those patients and the impact of neuropathic…Abstract Number: 1103 • ACR Convergence 2020
Metacarpo-phalangeal Osteoarthritis Is Not Rare and Is Associated with Mechanical Rather Than Systemic Factors in Hand Osteoarthritis: An Observational Study from a Large Hospital-based Cohort
Background/Purpose: Proximal and distal inter-phalangeal (PIP, DIP) and thumb base joints are the most common sites affected in hand osteoarthritis (HOA), while involvement of metacarpo-phalangeal…
