This year The BMJ has chosen Doctors of the World as it's Christmas appeal. This week we hear about the charity's international work. Deputy magazine editor Richard Hurley talks to some of the doctors who are working in Syria and the camps surrounding the stricken country.
Also this week, a clinical review on BMJ.com looks at polymyalgia rheumatica. Clinical reviews editor Sophie Cook asks Sarah Mackie, from the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine, how she explains this difficult condition to patients.
