In this episode we welcome Dr. Didem Saygin, a rheumatology fellow from the University of Chicago, to the podcast. We are also joined by Dr. Guy Katz, a rheumatology fellow from MGH. We discuss three more topics that would be excellent teams in the upcoming RheumMadness tournament: the newly discovered VEXAS autoinflammatory syndrome, the FAST trial on cardiovascular safety of urate-lowering therapies, and the PEXIVAS trial in ANCA vasculitis.
