Patients with osteoporosis should be recognised as being at considerably reduced risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) relative to oncology patients, and risk stratified accordingly to avoid unnecessary delays to treatment.

This infographic explores the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

I think that I was slightly unusual in my career choices, in that I left medical school knowing exactly what I wanted to do. I went into…

Since I was in high school I have always found these topics very interesting. But I was also very interested in pathogenesis and wanted to know how biology works.

Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (PSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterised by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands and clinically by the presence of sicca symptoms, inflammation of glands (mainly salivary and eye), and auto-antibodies.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of long-term musculoskeletal disease, and is increasing in prevalence as societies become older. One of the key factors of living well with a disease that spans decades of a patient’s life is to diagnose the condition earlier, long before the disease limits function significantly, or causes disability.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the fastest growing cause of disability worldwide, but, with few proven therapeutic options, it is an underserved condition. With increasingly ageing populations contributing to a rising global prevalence, this unmet need only threatens to worsen in the coming years.
