The eleventh annual international G–CAN research symposium was held in Chicago, IL, on the 22nd and 23rd of October 2025. This hybrid meeting, a live face-to-face and virtual live symposium, was attended by 198 participants. Twenty-five research abstract submissions were received from early-career investigators for plenary oral and brief oral presentations. Here, we present the 24 accepted, lightly edited abstracts from the early-career presenters consenting to have their materials published. We thank and congratulate the presenters for their work and contributions to the meeting. Full article

Abstract
The diagnosis of crystal-induced arthritis is routinely established by synovial fluid analysis. However, a synovial effusion is not always present, fluid aspiration is not always possible or practical, and synovial fluid analysis is occasionally subject to false negative results.

The diagnosis of crystal-induced arthritis is routinely established by synovial fluid analysis. However, a synovial effusion is not always present, fluid aspiration is not always possible or practical, and synovial fluid analysis is occasionally subject to false negative results. When there is a high suspicion of crystal-induced arthritis, but crystals are not identified in the synovial fluid, a biopsy of the synovium in search of crystals can assist in making a diagnosis. In this manuscript, we review the utility of ultrasound-guided needle biopsy of synovial tissue in the identification of crystal-induced arthritis, briefly describe the procedure, and recommend best practices for specimen handling and tissue processing.
