Pretty cool to hear my name coming through the audio as a shoutout on the latest @AlwaysOnEM episode about sim learning. Here’s a photo of me reviewing an ACLS sim with family med residents. Grateful to be practicing somewhere with resources like @UNMC_iEXCEL – at Bellevue, NE

The more RA related MSK deformities your patient has, the greater chance they will have atlantoaxial instability - be thoughtful when intubating these patients.

Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common autoimmune rheumatic disease.
The immune system attacks citrullinated peptides within joints to create synovitis, pain, and more.

Bywaters lesions are tiny microvascular infarcts that appear as small discolorations at fingertips - seen with vasculitis / rheumatoid arthritis

Optimize your exam of joints:
1. Tenderness along the joint line (use enough pressure to blanche the nail bed)
2. Swelling - often a sign of synovitis (different than effusion)
3. Effusion (use #POCUS)
4. Pain with range of motion

What do Methotrexate & Bactrim have in common?
Both agents inhibit dihydrofolate reductase!

- kidney injury
