The accumulation of these antibodies in the tissues can cause inflammation, damage and pain. The most common form of lupus is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Approximately 15,000 Canadians are affected by SLE. Lupus symptoms and severity vary from patient to patient, for some, lupus is life-threatening and for others, it\u2019s entirely manageable.<\/p>\r\n<p>Below are some #CRArthritis interviews highlighting lupus. Please share to spread awareness about lupus!<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Interview 6 - Treatment approaches to cutaneous lupus for the rheumatologist<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview 6 - Treatment approaches to cutaneous lupus for the rheumatologist\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YSDf34VNLAE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p>Dr. Werth presented at CRA RheumReview: Canadian Clinical Updates \u2013 a full-day virtual event that runs concurrently with the CRA annual scientific meeting and is designed to update rheumatologists on hot topics in arthritis research. She speaks with ACE\u2019s Kelly Lendvoy about her session at RheumReview titled \u201cApproach to Cutaneous Lupus for the Rheumatologist\u201d and will review clinical findings of cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and approaches to treatment.<\/p>\r\n<p>In their conversation, Dr. Werth describes the importance of early diagnosis and testing for co-morbidities in patients with CLE. She also elaborates on the treatment options most commonly used for CLE and how patients should prepare for their treatment conversations with their health care providers.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Interview 9 - Lupus and pregnancy in women in Alberta<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<h1 class=\"style-scope ytd-watch-metadata\">&nbsp;<\/h1>\r\n<p><iframe title=\"Interview 19 - Lupus and pregnancy in women in Alberta\" width=\"843\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/94hMrtMwLtw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\">Dr. Stephanie Keeling is a professor in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta.

Dr. Mendel\u2019s research focuses on patient safety in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases. She aims to improve medication safety for people living with arthritis by studying the root causes of adverse drug effects. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span class=\"yt-core-attributed-string--link-inherit-color\" dir=\"auto\">In her discussion with Cheryl, she shares highlights from her podium presentation titled \u201cComparative safety and effectiveness of biosimilar and originator rituximab for induction or maintenance in ANCA-associated vasculitis: 6-month results of a longitudinal cohort study\u201d and poster presentation titled \u201cValue and appropriateness of inpatient antinuclear antibody testing at a tertiary hospital\u201d. Dr. Mendel concludes by introducing us to the concept of safe deprescribing of medications for older adults. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 10 is World Lupus Day!&nbsp; Lupus is an unpredictable disease in which a person\u2019s immune system produces an excess of proteins called antibodies that&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[20,826,655,68,828],"class_list":["post-17062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crarthritis","tag-worldlupusday","tag-featured","tag-lupus","tag-systemic-lupus-erythematosus"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17062"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17062\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17065,"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17062\/revisions\/17065"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arthritisbroadcastnetwork.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
