HSS Presents New Research at the ACR Convergence 2024
At this year’s American College of Rheumatology (ACR) annual meeting, HSS presented exciting research related to rheumatology and orthopedics.
Research highlights include a study showing that online search trends can lead to more personalized rheumatic disease care, and blood changes in people at risk for rheumatoid arthritis, a study revealing that having rheumatoid arthritis was not a risk factor for needing a blood transfusion during or after total knee replacement, new discoveries in antiphospholipid syndrome, the effectiveness of avacopan for severe vasculitis, new insights on rheumatic diseases and reproductive health and a study that shows knee osteoarthritis causes more pain and inflammation in women.
New Study Signals How Online Search Trends Could Lead to More Personalized Rheumatic Disease Care
Physicians are learning how to better support the needs of people with rheumatoid arthritis from online search trends, according to a new study from researchers at HSS and colleagues at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons.
New Research Reveals Alterations in Blood of People at Risk of Developing Rheumatoid Arthritis
A new study by HSS and collaborating centers identified distinct immune cell patterns in the blood that signal an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis before symptoms occur.
Having rheumatoid arthritis was not a risk factor for needing a blood transfusion during or after total knee replacement, according to a new study by HSS researchers.
New Antiphospholipid Syndrome Research Findings Presented at ACR Convergence 2024
Investigators from the Antiphospholipid Syndrome Alliance for Clinical Trials and International Networking (APS ACTION) presented new research findings in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). These studies explore differences in clinical manifestations of APS in children versus adults, identify key risk factors for thrombosis in persistently antiphospholipid antibody-positive patients, and investigate the prevalence and implications of lupus-related autoantibodies in patients without lupus.
Study Shows Avacopan Effective for Most Serious Vasculitis Cases
New multicenter study by HSS and others by HSS shows avacopan is effective in achieving disease control with less steroid exposure in patients with ear, nose and throat manifestations of ANCA associated vasculitis.
HSS presented a number of studies focused on reproductive health for patients with rheumatic diseases including factors influencing infant feeding, predicting pregnancy outcomes in lupus, and improving contraception screening for women on teratogenic medications in rheumatology.
Study Shows Knee Osteoarthritis Causes More Pain and Inflammation in Women
Women with knee osteoarthritis experience more pain and inflammation than men, according to a new study led by researchers at HSS and The Rockefeller University.
