Rheumatology in Faces. How Diseases Changed the Fate of the Great

The heroes of this book changed the world, yet few know how much pain was hidden behind their achievements. You will encounter 11 medical investigations that will allow you to look at the biographies of great artists, writers, performers, and... monarchs from a new perspective.
• If Paganini, Michelangelo, and Édith Piaf lived in our time, how would they be treated now?
• What caused Beethoven to lose his hearing, and Maria Callas to lose her magnificent voice?
• Medieval treatment methods - do they still have a place in the 21st century?

Rheumatologist Elena Vystavkina will tell you about those whose fate was severely affected by rheumatological disease. You will learn how osteoarthritis, Bechterew's disease, and fibromyalgia are treated today, and how rheumatological diagnoses and autoimmune diseases became an important part of our history.
