Arthritis & Rheumatology  |  November 7, 2022

Seppen et al. developed a smartphone application for patients with RA to assess the safety and efficacy of patient-initiated care, compared with usual care.

A Prescription for Mindfulness

Dana DiRenzo, MD, MHS  |  July 13, 2022

The prescription is a powerful tool for a physician. As rheuma­tologists, we prescribe many things—drugs, physical therapy, durable medical equipment—but what about stress reduction?

Fellows Forum: Helpful Twitter Follows & Chats for Fellows in Training

Kanika Monga, MD  |  March 18, 2019

We spend a good portion of our day in front of screens—televisions, computers, tablets, phones and more. Social media (#SoMe) use has been on the rise, and its marriage to medicine seems inevitable.
