Arundathi Jayatilleke, MD, MS  |  April 19, 2017

We teach medical students, residents and fellows evidence-based medicine to lay the groundwork for rational prescribing and good clinical judgment. But should we stop our rheumatology fellows from interacting with pharmaceutical companies as part of this foundation? It is not surprising that pharma­ceutical companies can influence physician pre­scribing through gifts. At least, it should not…

Weakness, Fatigue Can Signal Underlying Rheumatologic Disease

Simon M. Helfgott, MD  |  April 17, 2017

As clinicians, we are familiar with pain, stiffness and soreness—subjective nouns that define our métier. These helpful words serve as signposts that direct us along the path to the proper diagnosis. Consider the young man with a stiff, sore back (a case of ankylosing spondylitis?) or the postpartum woman experiencing newly painful, stiff and sore…
