A single headshot, but so many emotions—excited yet nervous, anxious yet hopeful. July 2025—on one hand, I want you to never arrive, but at the same time, I can't wait. Stepping into my next chapter as a rheumatologist. A big girl job for a big girl dream—let’s do this. 🥶🥶🥶

Chronic Hepatitis B Management in Immunosuppressed Patients:
Hepatitis B screening and prophylaxis are critical for patients starting immunosuppressive therapy, but guidelines vary. Hepatology recommendations (e.g., AASLD) often advocate for broader prophylaxis compared to the ACR 2021 guidelines.

2/ A helpful trick? Use a blue background to spot mild erythema—it enhances contrast, making redness easier to identify. This can make a huge difference in recognizing early inflammation! 🔵

🧵 Recognizing inflammation in melanated skin: A clinical pearl! Taken from Dr. Okoye's great lecture. #ACR24
1/ Erythema may not be visible on melanated skin. Instead, inflammation may initially present as hypopigmentation or subtle textural changes. 🌟 Below are three patients with Gottron's papules

Super excited to meet Dr Gono today!! I have been a fan for a while. Was so lucky to have had a chance to discuss MDA-5 ILD with him.
I don’t think he is on Bluesky but if he is, please someone add him.
