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

The heroes of this book changed the world, yet few know how much pain was hidden behind their achievements. You will find 11 medical investigations that will provide a new perspective on the biographies of great artists, writers, performers, and... monarchs.
• If Paganini, Michelangelo, and Edith Piaf lived in our time, how would they be treated today?
• What caused Beethoven to lose his hearing and Maria Callas to lose her magnificent voice?
• Medieval treatment methods - is there still a place for them in the 21st century?

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