Is there “rheum” for one more podcast in your life?
It’s time to catch up on Healio Rheuminations, Healio’s rheumatology podcast hosted by Adam Brown, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic. Brown has been using the show to educate and entertain since 2018, bringing the audience along as he explores the medical history behind rheumatic diseases and medications.
This year, Brown embarked on a three-part deep dive into a pain management revolution: the history of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). And in a special guest episode hosted by Leonard H. Calabrese, DO, Healio Rheumatology’s chief medical editor, Calabrese provided a debrief on the ever-evolving understanding of COVID-19 and the development of autoimmune disease.
Early in the year, Brown also guided listeners through a comprehensive, two-part look at urticartial vasculitis, sharing case studies, delving into its pathogenesis and outlining its history, complete with “a smidge of witchcraft.”
Have a scroll through all the Rheuminations episodes of 2024, and give one a spin.
