		<description><![CDATA[By Dr Irwin Lim, Rheumatologist At the recent EULAR conference, I wasn&#8217;t able to attend as many sessions as I would have liked due to the sessions running concurrently. One such session was on the Metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS is a disorder with components that include central obesity, elevated fasting glucose, hypertension, and/or dyslipidemia (see definition). This combination significantly increases ...]]></description>

They used to be strangers but really over time, they&#8217;ve become colleagues with a common goal of advancing rheumatology, for both doctors and patients. I&#8217;ve found everyone really friendly and more than happy to share. In fact, rheumatology tweeps go out of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Dr Irwin Lim, Rheumatologist The bisphosphonates are a class of anti-osteoporosis medications which have been around for a couple of decades. Common brand names include Fosamax (Alendronate), Actonel (Risedronate) and Aclasta (Zoledronate). They are effective and seem to also reduce the risk of death, over and above the reduction in osteoporotic fractures (see link). But, in recent times, their ...]]></description>

It was my first EULAR meeting (some highlights were documented here). It&#8217;s actually quite hard to navigate through a meeting that size. Too many concurrent sessions. Time between sessions spent searching and rushing to the next ...]]></description>
