  • Excellent

    Great podcast to stay updated with the latest knowledge in rheumatology. Dr. Cush and his behind the scene helpers put in a huge amount of effort to condense the latest and the most important content for this podcast. His presentation style is unbeatable. Really thankful to have this podcast available. The content is most suitable for Rheumatologists because of its specialized information.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Story of Decline, Delay, or Plateau? Dr. Elena Myasoedova
Q: Is methotrexate associated with lower mortality, and is this due to early treatment, disease control, or something intrinsic to the drug?
The link likely reflects better control of disease activity and identifying patients who respond to methotrexate; it may not be a drug-specific effect but rather inflammation control and patient selection for responders.
The Mucosal Hypothesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Dr. Kristin Demoruelle
Q: What is the role of biomarkers from mucosal sites (like sputum CCP) in improving risk prediction for RA?
Mucosal biomarkers such as sputum CCP positivity may identify a higher-risk subgroup and could enhance prediction when combined with serum antibodies, potentially guiding earlier or more tailored monitoring.
The Mucosal Hypothesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Dr. Kristin Demoruelle
Q: Should Kate start hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, rituximab, or maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent RA?
Hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate, and rituximab have not been shown to prevent RA in trials; the emphasis is on risk reduction through lifestyle and potentially future targeted approaches as our understanding of mucosal contributions evolves.
2026 Resolutions (1.9.2026)
Q: In this ANA-negative patient, without other clear signs of lupus, would you rely on EC4D testing as a diagnostic tool?
No, I would not use immunosuppressive therapy on this patient because this patient doesn't have lupus.
APP Controversies and Misconceptions
Q: Should APPs see new patients, especially in large academic medical centers?
There's a mixed response based on complexity, but many believe that all APPs can handle new patients depending on their training and confidence.
