Start NowRheumatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study of rheumatic diseases—immune-mediated conditions affecting the joints, ligaments, and muscles. Rheumatic diseases are characterized by soft-tissue inflammation and include immune-mediated and non-immune–mediated arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthropathies, systemic diseases with rheumatic manifestations such as lupus and vasculitides, and muscular pathologies such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis.
For optimal comprehension, the student should have a thorough understanding of the physiology of the immune system, particularly the mechanisms of humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Moreover, basic knowledge of the histological classification of tissues is desirable.
Although not as common as other diseases, rheumatic disorders are considered important clinical entities because affected individuals require specialized care and follow-up. Pharmacological treatments constitute an active research area in this field.
A competent general physician and nurse should have a good understanding of the pathophysiologies of these disorders and an acute eye to identify clinical manifestations, especially in the pediatric population. Prompt recognition, timely referral, and initiation of integral care can improve outcomes in affected individuals and enhance their overall quality of life.

I always know its going to be a good lecture when I see Dr. Raj teaching it
Dr Raj is such aa good teacher! Love his lectures
Mehmet K, and others thank you for your feedback! I hope this message finds you and your loved ones safe in 2021. I read your comments, and try to deeply reflect upon them. I thoroughly enjoy the feedback that I receive from you the medical students and doctors, fore; it allows me to improve upon the art that I have been fortunate enough to be part for the past 20 years. Thanks to individuals such as you who take the time out of your busy schedule to express what is on your mind, it allows me to always be improving as a medical educator. There are numerous other resources out there, as you are aware, and I feel privileged that you wish to invest your time and money with me and Lecturio. As any patient should receive 2nd and 3rd opinions about treatment protocol, and even encourage such behavior by doctors who are secure in themselves, I would recommend the same for you so that you are constantly being fed and inspired by medical knowledge! You live in golden age of medical education and possess tools at your disposal to excel in your medical school coursework, USMLE/PLAB/MER, etc. I hope you find a resource that you can relate to, if it's me, fantastic, if not, that's okay too, but the most important thing is that you/me, WE, continue on our journey of growth and humility. Thank you all for making me a part of your academic life, however brief it may be. ~Carlo Raj
this doc has a disgusting accent and teaching method. weird jokes and attitudes. if lecturio would like to improve itself, the very first thing is to sack this man and find a proper lecturer like anesthesiologist one.
Awesome lecture. Greatly organised. Helps keep all facts in one place.
I like how he repeats important points and focuses on distinguishing between RA and osteoarthritis
Hard to say what he is saying, even subtitles say that it is inaudible...
Possibly one of the best lectures on this platform! Dr. Raj truly is an amazing teacher, thank you for the lesson!
Like the way Dr.raj teaches everything he can make tough concepts easy with his way of teaching repeating himself
Very clear , short and great explanation. I really recommend this teacher and his lectures.
Concise! Sat through a lecture for an hour on Vasculitis and when I later went in to do homework I realized that I learned in less than 10 minutes what I sat through for an hour! Amazing! But, I'd like to continue using it that way. Get the long lectures in, for an in-depth overview, and use lecture to "make it mine".
I also had problem to focus on lecture because of way of speaking. :(
he is awesome; helps to connect the dots of concepts for me to make inferences rapidly
Explanation is sufficiently clear, but I get a little distracted by the way this professor speaks. Also, some of the quiz questions were not formulated very clear. Overall, still worth viewing the videos, it was very good to revisit these topics.
Excellent presentation by Dr.Carlo Raj, he is the best teacher.
Good job teaching. Good summary and emphasis on how to keep diseases apart.
Because he is very practical with a bit amount of indo he makes ir easier
The subject matter could be better delivered! A lot of unnecessary verbiage leading to presentation that often do not assist learner
The lecturer is very amusing. He also breaks down material well, which helps in retention.
this lecture helped to do my research and explain this disease
His "How are you?" was new for me. LOL. Who are you, are you the Raj I've known?
Both of these videos are short and super high yield. Don´t waste you valuable time reading slides or your text. This is all you need!
I enjoy everything covered by Dr. Carlo Raj. His comedic interjections sear the content into your memory, he is thorough, covers high-yield material and ties in pathophys and pharma perfectly. I continually thank him for high scores in patho!
i just like it because it's short and enough , you can memorize it for a hundred years
It is an area I have always skipped to study well and as such, I am very ignorant of the subject. I really like Dr Raj's approach to getting it to sink.
Comprehensive lecture, suitable for supplementing your studies. Overall good quality and good for reviewing your studies.
his accent is awful, i cant concentrate on lesson hhhh hhhh hhhh hhhh
Excellent lecture with the most important topics about the subject.
Excellent review of the main points of these important topics! Helped a lot
I really enjoy Doctor Raj explanations and his ability to keep me engaged at the lecture.
Great but more details need to be included in pathogeneses, please.
Great educater professionalism in his vivid way of talk that engages the audience
A very concise and helpful lecture about Septic arthritis. Lecturer was also able to tackle and include important key features for each condition.
It is a good affort by which every one get a vast knolwedge .
