A Deep Dive into Lupus Nephritis with one of the World's leading Experts.

Host Dan Ennis has to admit that AI has had him a bit concerned. So he joined up with co-host Janet Pope to talk to a couple of Rheumatologists who have done a lot of thinking about where AI is taking us, to see if they could soothe his fears. Together, the University of Alberta's Dr. Carrie Ye and UBC's Dr. Carson Chin, take a look at the practical applications of AI right now, and what the future may hold for it. It is a fun and fascinating conversation and by the end Dan said he was feeling more hopeful about "how we can use [AI] and make it make us better doctors." Dr. Carson Chin is a Clinical Instructor in the Division of Rheumatology at UBC and is a consultant Rheumatologist at Burnaby Hospital. He is the current Vice President of the BC Society of Rheumatologists. He has a special interest in AI. Dr. Carrie Ye is a Rheumatologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta and at the Kaye Edmonton Clinic, where she runs the Rheumatology in Immuno-oncology Clinic. She is a co-author of the Arthritis & Rheumatology journal article: Doctor versus AI: Patient and physician evaluation of large language model responses to rheumatology patient questions, a cross-sectional study. Around the Rheum is produced by the Canadian Rheumatology Association's Communications Committee. A special thank you to the podcast team, Dr. Dax G.

"The patient was a 36 year-old male [...] He presented to the emergency department with a witnessed first-time, generalized tonic-clonic seizure.

This month, we're thrilled to have Dr. David Fajgenbaum on our podcast. He is a clinician scientist, rare disease patient, author, and all-around incredible human being.  On this episode, he tells the riveting true story of his battle with Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman’s Disease (IMCD), including his brush with death (a priest gave him last rites), and his subsequent journey to discovering his own cure. David later wrote a book about his journey called ‘Chasing My Cure: A Doctor’s Race to Turn Hope Into Action” and co-founded ‘Every Cure,’ a nonprofit organization aimed at unlocking the full potential of every approved medicine to treat every disease possible. He has been interviewed by the New York Times, CNN, The Today Show, The BBC… and now Around the Rheum!  Dr. Fajgenbaum is also an Assistant Professor of Medicine in translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman Medical School.    Special Thanks: Around the Rheum is produced by the Canadian Rheumatology Associations Communications Committee. A special thank you to the podcast team, Dr. Dax G.

"The patient in this case is a 73-year-old woman. [She] was previously healthy and not on any medications... She developed exertional shortness of breath for a few months, which prompted her to visit [the] emergency room. It was discovered that she had bilateral pleural effusion." And so begins our latest episode of our popular new segment, Clinical Pearls and Medical Mysteries, in which two UBC Rheum Fellows try to stump Dan and Janet with this case, laying out increasingly complex details piece by piece. No spoilers, but we will say that Dan describes Janet's approach to the case in this episode as "Lebron James-like." Our guests are Dr. Angela Hu, who is finishing her final year of Rheumatology Fellowship at UBC. She is from Vancouver and completed medical school at McMaster University and internal medicine training in Toronto. She has an interest in lupus and will be pursuing an additional fellowship in this. Dr. Danya Al Nujaidi is also in her final year of her Rheumatology Fellowship at UBC. She completed medical school and Internal Medicine Board at IAU in Saudi Arabia. Special Thanks: Around the Rheum is produced by the Canadian Rheumatology Association's Communications Committee.
