Certain diseases may involve organ systems that cross the boundaries of specialties. For instance, a patient with scleroderma can develop interstitial lung disease, or a patient with relapsing polychondritis can have the clinical manifestation of subglottic stenosis. This book represents a collaboration between specialties, helping clinicians recognize the implications of disease both within their own specialty and in the overlapping specialty. Here, leading experts from the fields of rheumatology and pulmonology provide a masterclass in the care of patients with systemic illnesses that involve the immune system and the lungs.Key Features:Provides an evidence-based clinical approach to the patient with pulmonary manifestations of rheumatic diseaseDetails cutting-edge research with input from the world’s leading expertsDiscusses possible future directions for research and advancement

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine can deliver significant improvements in the delivery of healthcare. As clinicians learn more about the technology and grow alongside it, so too will new methods of using and analyzing clinical data emerge. Medical education encompasses many levels: medical school, internship, residency, fellowship, and continuing medical education. At each of these levels, AI does, and will, revolutionize the way that healthcare providers learn, teach, and share information. This book is the first of its kind to explore the potential ways in which AI may specifically transform medical education across the globe.Key Features: Discusses a timely, relevant, hot topic in medical schools and beyond Focuses on AI in medical education that is relevant to trainees and practising clinicians across all specialties Proves useful for physicians working on continuing medical education activities
