Autoinflammatory diseases are often considered rare — but, in clinical practice, they may be far more common than we think. In this episode of Around the Rheum, hosts Dr. Daniel Ennis and Dr. Janet Pope speak with Dr. Jason An, a Toronto rheumatologist with expertise in autoinflammatory disorders.
Dan and Janet are thrilled to welcome UBC's Dr. Fergus To to Around the Rheum for a fascinating conversation about Myositis.
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."
"The patient was a 36 year-old male [...] He presented to the emergency department with a witnessed first-time, generalized tonic-clonic seizure. From the chart, he had a two-week history of poor sleep, worsening headache, and an inability to read."

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!
"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."
On this episode of Around the Rheum, we're thrilled to have Dr. Elie Karam as our guest talking about his journey with Axial Spondyloarthritis, a form of arthritis that causes inflammation and pain of the spine as well as other parts of the body, including the peripheral joints, entheses, gut and eyes.
We're thrilled to be joined by Dr. Dissanayake for this episode on Autoinflammatory Disorders. And we're also happy to have Janet Pope back in the host chair again with Daniel Ennis.
In this episode, we continue our series of conversations on an important topic, Indigenous Health in Canada. Today, we will focus on the care of patients with rheumatic disease who live in remote communities. We will be visiting with Cynthia Munger, Community Health Representative at the Stellat'en First Nation in northern British Columbia, for a discussion on what remote communities are looking for in their relationship with visiting doctors, how to win the trust of First Nation communities to best serve patients there, and what the experience is like for visiting doctors who commit to this kind of work.
Dr. Hugues Allard-Chamard from the University of Sherbrooke joins Dan to take a fascinating deep dive into the world of IgG4-related disease. Together they tackle the basics, like what IgG4-related disease is, the clinical spectrum of the disease, the phenotypes that we should look for clinically, an approach to diagnosis, the best tissue to biopsy, and what to look for on pathology. They discuss common mimics of the disease, how to treat it, a look at the recently published open label study on use of Abatacept (of which Hugues was an author), how and when to use P...

"The Patient is a 19-year-old woman of Filipino descent but born in Canada, previously healthy apart from a history of eczema, for which she is not taking any treatment. She had traveled to France on a gap year and while she was there she developed a skin rash that was worse on sun exposure. She also noticed increased hair loss, shortness of breath, dry cough, and arthralgias."

In this fascinating second part of our ATR conversation about osteoarthritis (OA), Dan and Janet engage with Western University's Dr. Tom Appleton on both the traditional and more groundbreaking ways to treat OA. These include pharmacological management options like steroid, hyaluronic acid, PRP, dextrose, and stem cell injections and disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs) and non-pharmacological treatments, including physical therapy, exercise, and surgical options.
