Episode 16 – Vasculitis: An Introduction & Classification

🎙 Episode 16 — Vasculitis: When Blood Vessels Become Targets In this episode of RheumRounds, Dr. Aravind takes us through the fascinating and challenging world of vasculitis syndromes. What happens when the body’s own immune system launches an attack on blood vessels? How do we recognize the signs—rashes, neuropathy, organ ischemia—that point toward this diagnosis? And what are the principles of management, from glucocorticoids to biologics like rituximab? Clear, structured, and clinically grounded, this session is designed for residents and fellows who want to sharpen their reasoning skills in approaching systemic vasculitis. 🔑 Key takeaways: * Classification of vasculitis (large, medium, small vessel) * Clinical red flags not to miss * Diagnostic tools: ANCA, biopsy, imaging * Treatment strategies and pitfalls Tune in and deepen your understanding of one of the most complex yet rewarding areas in rheumatology. 🎧 Host: Dr. Aravind Palraj 🎓 Senior Resident, Clinical Immunology & Rheumatology 📍 Madras Medical College, Chennai 📱 Follow on X: @Rheumat_Aravind

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
