Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, which means that your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake, causing inflammation in the affected parts of the body. RA affects many aspects of daily living including work, leisure and social activities.

At Attune Health, we are conducting research studies on the effects of anti-inflammatory diets on Rheumatoid arthritis. Call (310) 652-0010 to inquire about our research programs.

To do a deeper dive on the topic of COVID and Immune suppressed patients I will be doing a Facebook live event on Feb 4 2022. Please follow the Attune Health page to join the Facebook live event!

How does the Omicron variant effect me if I'm immune suppressed? Dr. V tackles questions you might have regarding the new Covid variant and your conditions.

A nerve conduction study stimulates specific nerves and records their ability to send the impulse to the muscle. The study can show where there is a blockage of the nerve pathway. At Attune Health, we use these tests to assess a variety of neurological disorders including nerve compressions, radiculopathies, diabetic neuropathies, myopathies, ALS, and muscular dystrophies.

Attune Health has been closely monitoring COVID-19's dramatic entrance into the United States in order to keep our patients and community educated and aware. “In my experience, prevention is paramount,” says Attune Health Physician Assistant Bryant Uy, who also holds a Master’s Degree in Public Health. “Keep up to date with proper hygiene practices - wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds, practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette, and limit how much you touch your face. This is an evolving issue, and we are going to do our best to keep our patients and community updated.” Here are five lessons we've learned from this week's developments:

We are proud to present this article in the New York Times that highlights the work at Attune Health in providing this patient with her diagnosis. Dr. Swamy Venuturupalli in collaboration with the Women's Heart Center at Cedars Sinai was able to successfully diagnose and achieve a good outcome in this case. Dr. Venuturupalli feels that the collaborative atmosphere at Attune Health that fosters a sense of collegiality with various specialists, and collaboration between patients and doctors was instrumental in achieving a diagnosis in this case. He notes that his father, Dr. Venturupalli Jagannadha Rao, an internist in India contributed to the development of his interest in the art of diagnosis. He would often recount stories of unusual medical cases at the dinner table. Later, Dr. Venuturupalli specialized in Rheumatology, the field of Internal Medicine, that deals with unusual autoimmune presentations. His skills were further honed by mentors like Dr. Richard Weisbart and Dr. Daniel Wallace who embodied what William Osler, the father of Internal Medicine would say, "Listen to your patient, they are telling you the diagnosis".
