One of my favourite books on #lupus since it came out — clearly structured, great for discussion. I keep coming back to it 📖

Thanks to editor @zahitouma.bsky.social and team

Thrilled to have the opportunity to present our early research on identifying stereotypes for patients with SLE at #LUPUS2025 in Toronto. Leaving inspired and grateful for this outstanding community of scientists, clinicians, and patient partners.

Adding some of my favorite slides … #LUPUS2025
Many excellent sessions and abstracts, especially appreciated the multiple sessions on CNS lupus and cognitive impairment - an area of importance for patients with lupus.

That’s a wrap for #LUPUS2025 🦋.

Thank you @zahitouma.bsky.social and the committees for delivering a world-class program into the latest lupus and autoimmune research advancements.

Honoured to connect with globe experts and to publish the LUPUS 2025 abstracts: 🔗 www.jrheum.org/content/52/S...

Dr. @zahitouma.bsky.social and team recently found that the addition of anifrolumab to the standard of care of SLE is effective at preventing and/or delaying organ damage in patients with moderately to severely active forms of the disease. #lupus #rheumatology

Researchers at UHN's Schroeder Arthritis Institute found that most people who are asymptomatic for various autoimmune rheumatic diseases (called SARDs), including #lupus, but are positive for ANA biomarkers do not go on to develop disease.
