Abstracts
GRAPPA develops future thought leaders by hosting an annual Trainee Symposium. Abstracts from around the world are submitted and the best are chosen to present.
The trainee symposium promotes the dissemination and discussion of research related to dermatology and rheumatology clinical, translational, and basic science proposals.
A cytokine signature from monocyte-derived macrophages predicts response to apremilast in patients with psoriatic arthritis

Imaging morphological characterisation of the axial manifestations of psoriatic arthritis (axial PsA)
Background. Under the umbrella term spondyloarthritis whose clinical presentations are very heterogeneous, psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial...
Pain Mechanisms in Psoriatic Arthritis: Differentiating Inflammation Related Pain in Enthesitis Using Ultrasound, In Comparison to Functional MRI
Approximately 50% of PsA patients have persistent pain despite a well‐controlled inflammatory state, which has been attributed to non‐nociceptive pain...
Patients developing inflammatory bowel disease before spondyloarthritis manifest significantly higher rates of enthesitis: findings from a single-center real-life cohort.
