Sincere congratulations to Portugal on being elected to the UN Security Council for 2027–2028. Portugal is a trusted friend and principled defender of international law, peace, and security. Ukraine relies on defending these values together. We look forward to working closely with Portugal to uphold the UN Charter, advance a just and lasting peace, and strengthen security and stability in Europe and around the world.

For tennis elbow specifically, that cortisone shot is borrowing against the future. A JAMA trial found cortisone beats PT at 6 weeks. By 12 months, the injection group had much worse outcomes and higher recurrence than the group that never got the shot. Short-term relief traded for a potential long-term problem. For a condition that resolves on its own in nearly everyone.

Not all myocarditis in SSc is visible on MRI 🧲 CMR can be negative 💔 Severe cardiac involvement may be early 📉 High mortality 👉 Clinical suspicion still matters #Rheumatology #CardioRheumatology #SSc 🔗arprheumatology.com/section.… @cristianasieiro @TaniaLSantiago

There’s all sorts of products out there. Who knows, ‘Reuma King’ or ‘Contra Reumas’ might do something, but that’s probably all the fraudulent hidden dexamethasone inside… Beware+++ #ACR25 FDA Update @RheumNow

#RareDiseaseCommunity Without worldwide #registries, how do we get around being able to estimate the prevalence of conditions? This is making it difficult for #researchers & non profits to apply for #funding. Have you experienced this challenge? How did you overcome it?
