@AliciaRPla @TerrierBen @NihalM_Nice @cmukhtyar @DamanLangguth@RheumNow@BolekBerqui@jeffsparks I would agree, basically on all of the meds associated with EGPA, Kawasaki, cryoglobulinemia, Behcet’s. Also rituximab as a cause of GPA?
I don’t know what happens to the reports that I’m asked to respond to, but I hope I’m not part of the problem here!
@cmukhtyar @AliciaRPla@DamanLangguth@RheumNow@BolekBerqui@jeffsparks It seems like there is some missing information here in (for example) thinking about a link between ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (aka harvoni, hep C therapy) and cryoglobulinemia
@sally_oh_brien@DrTimony One of my worries too. Kutztown and others have online MLIS but even with in-state tuition it's super expensive, as are other online ALA-certified programs around the country. PA leaves room for on-the-job training or taking the exam but seems very limited.

The heavy fines that city council imposes don’t do anything unless people are caught
@rfrmd And after work hours
Somehow the meetings must happen ASAP and the regular work shouldn’t be rescheduled
And “committee work” is “necessary for promotion”
So we seem to end up meeting 6-8pm or weekends
Reminds me of observations we’ve all made in people who have had a stroke or have post polio syndrome and develop RA.
Interesting animal model of nerve ligation in inflamm arthritis but I can’t find the one from 12-13 yrs ago. This one is close though: https://t.co/Llaf2Zh0IV
Seems to build off work (https://t.co/6A1sXPllhH, https://t.co/rf6Zo7EJw0) on nurse-led education + comorbidity mgt in inflammatory arthritis, but let us not forget the impressive outcomes of nurse-led care in gout.

Counseling and self-management are key
📋 Nurse-led patient education is useful to help manage safety issue with bDMARDs such as dealing with infections or willingness for vaccination✔️ Shown in this multicentre, open-labelled, randomised controlled trial https://t.co/VHuyiwPNjR
