US Postage The Post-Graduate Medical School of the New York Uiversity School is committed to improvig patiet care through cotiuig medical educatio. Sposored by the NYUHospital for Joit Diseases Discuss ramificatios of recet geomic studies that idetify previously urecogized gees as carryig risk for specific rheumatologic diseases, icludig rheumatoid arthritis ad lupus, as well as the possible future role of patiet geetics i predictig potetial efficacy of specific rheumatologic therapies i idividual patiets. Icorporate strategies for maagig cardiovascular disease i patiets beig treated for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, gout ad other rheumatologic diseases. Develop algorithms for safe, appropriate ad effective treatmet of lupus as well as rheumatoid ad other iflammatory arthritides based o the idicatios ad cotraidicatios for both established ad ewer therapies. Compare the idicatios, utility ad cotraidicatios for both established ad ewer therapies available for the treatmet of fibromyalgia, ad develop idividually-tailored approaches for fibromyalgia patiets. Apply kowledge of osteoarthritis pathophysiology ad therapeutic best-practices to develop treatmet plas that provide optimum beefit with miimal risk to specific patiets. Joa M.

New treatmets have recetly become available for lupus, as well as for rheumatoid arthritis ad other iflammatory arthritides. Practicig rheumatologists eed to uderstad the best-practice uses of these therapies, ad be able to employ them i appropriate sequeces ad combiatios, i order to maximize beefit ad reduce morbidity/mortality. Fibromyalgia is a potetially debilitatig sydrome whose treatmet ofte proves difficult ad frustratig for both patiets ad physicias.
