Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASyS): Consensus on nomenclature and abbreviation for anti-synthetase syndrome is now done. Everyone should use this nomenclature and abbreviation for the ASyS going forward: an IMACS project https://t.co/VZI7Qx77Tc

@Factor_XII @VUMCDiscoveries @mvalliance @VUMC_ID @VUMC_Medicine @VUMCHospitalMed As a rheumatologist, please don’t take away my CRP! I do agree it’s probably over ordered. For example, there are few cases who truly need a daily CRP.

@RishiNaikMD @VUMC_Medicine @VUMC_GI Congratulations!

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

So excited to be presenting “Updates in Myositis” this weekend to the Kentuckiana Rheumatology Alliance!

@DidemSayginMD Congratulations!

What do you think you’d unearth if you analyzed the trends of millions of patients with #SLE during #pregnancy over the course of 30 years? @BarnadoLab answers this question & more in the latest episode of ACR Journals on Air. Listen → https://t.co/xX94rJ9yJy @ACR_Journals

@BichileT Yes, I had a patient this week having a hard time finding PO MTX as the pharmacy said it was back ordered too. Hopefully the shortages end soon.

Super important: clinicians need to be careful about ordering ANAs for screening, since such a small % of them are clinically relevant.

And since a majority of the "positives" get referred to rheumatology, it makes it harder for people with definite inflammatory issues to get in with us.

Don't order an ANA for: chronic fatigue or chronic pain without symptoms/signs of inflammation

Do order an ANA: if the patient has features of lupus or scleroderma.

As a rheumatologist, I love that I’m flying on an airline named ANA. Bonus that the plane is decorated like R2-D2!

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

So excited to go to my first Investigator Meeting!

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

@rheum_cat I published there a few years back. Before we submitted, my mentor pulled me aside to double check if I really wanted “anal chem” forever on my CV.

#ACR22 Here I come!

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

@docrota Congratulations!

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

Happy July 1st to everyone! Congrats to all the new interns and fellows. You’re going to be great :)

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

@Factor_XII Thanks! Loved hearing about this study

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

@Factor_XII I’ll be interested to hear other thoughts on this. I was always afraid about people doubling up on APAP but so many of the pain management guidelines have changed in the few years since I finished residency.

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

@doc_halliday11 @phlegmfighter @smlungpathguy As a rheumatologist, I’d sure like to know if the patient had extra-articular disease. If so, we’d be judging treatment effects based on both the joints and lung.

@Mical04167545 @tnicholsmd @kiswanson Can’t do the procedure since insurance denied the pre-auth.

[Jennifer Young-Glazer, MD @jennynerdMD]

The residents now are calling me “Dr. Young-Glazer” as a default rather than by my first name. I feel old.

Apparently a large part of parenting is making her toy moose pretend to sing @taylorswift13 songs.
