He shares how his lived experience shapes his approach to patient care, offering insight into empathy, trust, and connection in chronic disease management.</p><p>Dr. Rahman also discusses the influence of key mentors — including Dr. Dafna Gladman, herself an Officer of the Order of Canada — in shaping his path into research and his work in the genetics of psoriatic arthritis and beyond! The conversation highlights the shift toward polygenic risk and the ongoing challenge of translating genetic discoveries into clinical practice.</p><p>Looking ahead, Dr. Rahman explores the future of rheumatology, emphasizing precision medicine, improved diagnostics, and more effective use of existing therapies. A thoughtful discussion on humility, mentorship, and the evolving complexity of modern rheumatology.</p><p>Dr. Proton Rahman is Clinical Chief of Rheumatology at Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services and John Lewis Distinguished Professor at Memorial University. A global expert in spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis, his research focuses on the genetics of inflammatory arthritis and its translation into improved patient care.

Key points included the role of HLA-DRB1*15 as a risk marker, the importance of early treatment, and the potential for IL-1 and IL-6 therapies to contribute to complications in select patients.</p><p>Workshops reinforced these themes, focusing on practical approaches to diagnosing and managing Still’s disease, including lung involvement and the role of JAK inhibitors in refractory cases.</p><p>The meeting closed with a distinguished investigator lecture from Dr. Cheryl Barnabe, highlighting inequities in care for Indigenous populations and the importance of culturally safe, community-based care to address both geographic and systemic barriers.</p><p>Main Takeaways</p><ul><li>Genetic and epigenetic factors may explain sex differences in psoriatic arthritis</li><li> Monogenic variants continue to reveal complexity in pediatric lupus</li><li> Significant inequities persist in access to therapies for JIA across provinces</li><li> Still’s disease spans pediatric and adult care with shared mechanisms</li><li> HLA-DRB1*15 may help predict lung complications in Still’s disease</li><li> Culturally safe, community-based care is essential to improving health equity</li></ul><p>What’s Next</p><p>CRA ASM 2026 will be held in Vancouver.</p><p>More highlights coming next year—see you in Vancouver!</p>

Episode 59: ASM Roundup - Day 2 with Dr. Marinka Twilt and Dr. Mo Osman
Hosts: Dr. Daniel Ennis, Dr. Janet PopeGuests: Dr. Marinka Twilt (Pediatric Rheumatologist, University of Calgary; ASM Program Committee Chair), Dr. Mo Osman (University of Alberta; Abstract Chair & ASM Planning Committee Co-Chair)We’re coming to you almost live from Halifax for Day 2 of the Canadian Rheumatology Association ASM. The day featured diverse podium science, practical workshops, and a lively Great Debate on DMARD tapering.Podium sessions highlighted lupus research on cancer risk, rising costs and work disability in RA, and new biologic insights into flares, with B-cell changes supporting patient-reported disease activity. SLIC1 also emerged as a potential biomarker for pulmonary involvement in myositis.Workshops focused on practical tools, including capillaroscopy for early CTD detection, pediatric updates on neonatal lupus risk (anti-Ro vs anti-La), and a structured lab-based approach to unexplained lymphadenopathy.The Dunlop-Dottridge Lecture reviewed statin-associated myositis, emphasizing delayed onset, persistence after discontinuation, and early IVIG-based treatment.The Great Debate explored DMARD tapering, reinforcing that while guidelines are cautious, real-world care requires shared decision-making and a focus on the lowest effective dose rather than full discontinuation.Main TakeawaysRising costs and ongoing work disability remain significant in RA Patient-reported flares have a clear biological basis SLIC1 may emerge as a biomarker for lung involvement in myositis Capillaroscopy is a valuable tool for early CTD detection Statin-associated myositis can occur years later and requires early IVIG DMARD tapering should be individualized, with focus on lowest effective doseWhat to Watch on Day 3State-of-the-art lecture on Still’s disease across the lifespan More high-impact podium presentations Clinical workshops, including topical therapies Gala dinner and closing eventsMore highlights coming tomorrow—stay tuned!
