🆕 HOW TO MAKE A #DIAGNOSIS OF #LUPUS ?!? is the most common question 🧐 I get ➡️ Well, certainly NOT ⛔ by checking ✔️ if you have at least 4 criteria 📑 on a list ! #SLE diagnosis is a complex process 👨🎓 and requires expertise. Ask your #rheumatologist 👍 if you are unsure 🏥.

✅ I'm preparing a talk for #LupusFederal Argentina 2025, about the main unmet needs in #Lupus. Of course, we have previously published extensively about it (e.g.: lupus.bmj.com/content/lupuss…) but i'd be happy to get YOUR OPINION: What are our 2025 biggest challenges in #SLE?

✅ What is lacking the most at the #lupus consultation, from the #patient perspective? OPEN-ACCESS FREE LINK: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great news!! Our paper with the results of our Living With SLE in Europe: Swiss Knife Survey is out! Thanks @Lupusreference for your amazing support! Thanks also @sarahdyball1 @G_O_Daniel @cristianasieiro @elis_chessa @jeanette_lupus @ricky_chotai @tulupus @AnnemarieS66 et al!
✅ Happy to report that our recent paper "Experiences and unmet needs of persons living with systemic #lupus erythematosus in Europe: Lupus Europe's 2024 Swiss knife survey" with @LupusEurope is now #openaccess 🔓 for all 👍 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
✅ #PrecisionMedicine is IMPORTANT in #Lupus, but PERSONALIZED medicine, - taking into account the personal socio-economic determinants & patient #vulnerabilities-, is even MORE IMPORTANT. Check our latest PAPER with @G_O_Daniel & Zoe from @LupusEurope at: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

✅ Very happy to report that we have completed the #LBFSS study STEP2!! An international panel of experts 🧑🎓 & patients(-representatives) from @LupusEurope have triaged the #lupus #brainfog domains from step 1 and selected those relevant for inclusion in the #LBFSS questionnaire!

✅ Very happy to report that we have completed the entiere STEP1 of #ENDORSED, the international #consensus definition of #SEVERE #LUPUS by the #DORIS group gathering 50+ potential facets of severity thanks to the international panel of HCPs (step 1a) and patients (step 1b) 👍

✅ Using #ChatGPT to generate a POST-#EULAR2025 summary about #Lupus ⬇️ how did I do that?!? I performed a search for 'lupus' in the online program of the congress🔎 copy-pasted the results in chatGPT and used it to perform a 'thematic analysis' on the results 💪👍 FASCINATING


✅ Thank you @LupusCanada for your post about our work #SLAKE ⬇️
New tool for people living with lupus! Try SLAKE, a free, 15-min online quiz that tests your knowledge across 11 lupus topics. Get your score & see where you can grow. Developed with @LupusEurope & ReCONNET: maladie-autoimmune.fr/SLAKE/ #LupusAwareness #SLE #HealthLiteracy
✅ Check my visual update on the latest EULAR #recommendations for #Lupus #nephritis, as presented by Boumpas at #EULAR2025 ⬇️

✅ Very happy to report that we have completed STEP 2 of #LUPUSALERT, asking a large international panel to triage & prioritize #lupus #vulnerabilities suggested during step 1, for inclusion in the final screening questionnaire 👍 Thanks to you all for your contributions 👏

✅ This afternoon, I will give a talk about unmet needs in #Lupus. I believe we have 3 MAJOR UNMET NEEDS in #SLE: ➡️ Get NEW TREATMENTS that (actually) work ➡️ PREDICT the best treatment at the individual patient level ➡️ Find SMART WAYS to take care of everything holistic

✅ Check my visual summary for the @ACRheum #recommendations for the screening 🔎 and treatment 💊 of #LUPUS #NEPHRITIS ⬇️ What would you change? Please DO let me know if an update 🔄 is needed 👍
✅ Thanks to your participation, we have successfully completed the first step of the #Lupus #BrainFog Severity Scale Study (#LBFSS) 🙏 Data analysis has been completed yesterday and i'm happy to report that -for the first time- we are able to see clearly 👀 through the fog ☁️

✅ Use of photoprotective measures by 600 patients with #Lupus (the #Photolup study), according to the presence (or not) of #photosensitivity ☀️♨️ #summer #sunscreen #dermatology #CLE FREE PDF DOWNLOAD at: academic.oup.com/rheumatology/a…

✅ Final reminder to contribute to our PATIENT research STUDY for the development of the #Lupus #BrainFog Severity Scale - a questionnaire to assess the characteristics and severity of brainfog in lupus 🦋 ➡️LINK:lupusresearch.limequery.org/697679?lang=en

🤩So excited about this interview! 💻#LupusGPT was winning awards at #EULAR2025 🎙️Delighted to meet with Zoe & @Jeanette_Lupus from @LupusEurope to find out about this exciting development in patient information & use of #AI in #rheumatology @RheumNow youtu.be/Iq4w7pwF0f8?fe…
✅ Why are we suddenly getting so many updated #lupus recommendations? (15+ in the last 5 years!!) ⬇️ by various groups worldwide 🌍🌎🌏 #NEDAI2025


🏃♂️ Physical activity levels were classified as ‘low’ among 44.3% of patients with #lupus Here’s our rundown of the study from @lupusreference and colleagues 👇 healio.com/news/rheumatol…
