Adam Brown, MD, finds varied ways to share information about rheumatology. “If my educational content is fun and accessible, then hopefully we can catch a few more people and get them excited about it.”
Predicting Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Patients With Arthritis
Since patients with chronic systemic inflammatory states may be at increased risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) disease, the ability to predict which patients with RA or OA that are most likely to experience a major cardiac adverse event (MACE) may help rheumatologists risk stratify these patients early.
Recognizing Noninfectious Autoimmune Scleritis
When assessing a patient for “red-eye” with severe ocular pain, rheumatologists should have a high index of suspicion for scleritis. In this article, rheumatologist Rula Hajj-Ali, MD, discusses how to alleviate pain and prevent complications in inflammatory eye disease.
Balancing the Benefits of Biologic Therapy for Autoimmune Disease Against the Risks of Mycobacterial Infections
Tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFis) have transformed care for rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, but they also are associated with higher risks of serious and opportunistic infections than traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. In this article, Cassandra Calabrese, DO, discusses balancing the benefits of biologic therapies with the risks of infection.

TNFi-Induced Psoriasis and Idiopathic Psoriasis Can Be Distinguished on Biopsy
Is it idiopathic psoriasis or TNFi-induced psoriasis? A new study finds histological differences between these two types of psoriatic lesions that impact treatment.
Pregnancy and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Women with rheumatoid arthritis who are of childbearing age face many challenges throughout pregnancy and extending into the postpartum period, from fertility to birth outcomes and control of disease. In this article, rheumatologist Emily Littlejohn, DO, MPH, discusses special considerations for managing patients with rheumatoid arthritis throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Improving Treatment Outcomes for Patients with Rheumatic Lung Disease
Cleveland Clinic’s Rheumatic Lung Disease Program is currently engaged in three major multicenter trials whose common aim is to improve outcomes for patients with rheumatic disease and pulmonary hypertension or interstitial lung disease.
