ACR 2007 Highlights
The 70th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Rheumatology and 41st Annual Scientific Meeting of the Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals took place in Boston, MA. Approximately 2,000 abstracts were presented, along with a number of state-of-the-art lectures and topical symposia. While it is not possible to review all of the important findings from these meetings, some selected highlights are summarized below.
The majority of these highlights focus on clinical aspects of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis (consistent with the mission of this Website); however, limited reviews of meeting highlights relating to the systemic rheumatic diseases, including lupus, scleroderma, myositis, spondyloarthritis, and vasculitis, are also provided. Highlights are categorized according to disease.
