A Clinician's Pearls & Myths in Rheumatology (2nd Ed., 2nd ed. 2023)
Coordonnateur : Stone John H.
This book builds upon the first edition with new and improved chapters. The book explores the rich assemblage of clinical wisdom from expert rheumatologists from a wide range of specialties including Vasculitis and Sjogren?s syndrome. It examines the nuggets or ?pearls? of wisdom gained from collective clinical experience about the diagnosis or treatment of various diseases whilst also aiming to debunk myths that have influenced the practice of rheumatology by many clinicians.
The second edition of A Clinician's Pearls and Myths in Rheumatology is a critical resource for both practitioners and students of rheumatology. This book provides a clear guide for those wishing to take a ?deep dive? into the diagnostic and therapeutic elements of rheumatology.

He writes: I have had a career-long interest in teaching, research, and clinical care of patients with rheumatic diseases; i.e., inflammatory diseases mediated by patients’ overly active immune systems. My work has focused on the systemic vasculitides, particularly ANCA-associated vasculitis and giant cell arteritis; IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD); and glucocorticoid toxicity. Following medical school at Harvard Medical School, internal medicine training at Johns Hopkins, and a rheumatology fellowship at the University of California-San Francisco, I co-founded and directed the Vasculitis Center at Johns Hopkins University. This Center was the first in the United States to focus on inflammatory diseases of blood vessels such as ANCA-associated vasculitis and giant cell arteritis.
At Johns Hopkins, I directed the first NIH-funded, multi-center clinical trial in granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The results of this trial were published in The New England Journal of Medicine (2005). This trial paved the way for subsequent trials and investigations in vasculitis on an international scale. Work at the Johns Hopkins Vasculitis Center blazed a path for physicians all over the world interested in vasculitis, encouraging them to focus on research in this area. This effort ultimately served as the impetus for dozens of clinical trials in these diseases that have led to substantially better treatments for patients in less than 20 years.
In 2008, I was recruited to become the Director of Clinical Rheumatology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), where I have continued my interest in vasculitis from the research standpoint and broadened my clinical scope to include the full breadth of rheumatology. I was the Co-Principal InvDebunks false myths that have influenced clinical practice
