Studies on Arthritis and Joint Disorders cover

This next volume in our established series proposes to systematically review the basic science and clinical knowledge of the role of free radicals and antioxidants, collectively known as “oxidative stress”, in the pathology of arthritis and other joint diseases. It will describe the most current diagnostic tools , laboratory methods and technology, to suggest ways of prevention and treatment and to emphasize the concept of the bench-to-bedside approach. The book will also provide specific coverage on emerging technology and medical applications including discussions of biomarkers and antioxidants as therapeutic agents and several more relevant aspects. In addition, the book will promote the concept of using biomarkers representative of oxidative stress reactions and free radical damage , as well as describe the effect of antioxidants in treating disease in clinical trials. The content will be valuable to researchers studying the development of arthritis/joint disease, and clinicians treating patients with these diagnoses.

From the reviews:

“This is a thorough overview of the role of oxidative damage in joint and connective tissue disease. This is a highly specialized area that is important for rheumatologists as well as for basic scientists to understand. … book is appropriate for all practitioners and academicians who are interested in the role of oxidative damage in joint disorders. … The authors do a great job of connecting basic science concepts with clinical disease. … easy to read, and diagrams and charts are clear and used appropriately.” (Jonathan Miner, Doody’s Book Reviews, July, 2
