Rheumatic Disorders cover

The sixth volume in this popular series provides readers with an informed and authoritative overview of recent developments in the treatment of rheumatic diseases. Updates on NSAIDs and new biologic agents feature prominently, but new this year are commentaries on the use of imaging in the diagnosis and monitoring of osteoarthritis, and a review of recent studies on the re-emergent problem of gout. A major section on connective tissue disease includes chapters on antiphospholipid syndrome, interstitial lung disease, and the applications of immunosuppressant therapy. Drawing on an internationally recognised team of contributors, this latest volume in a now well-established series continues to provide readers with comprehensive and informed analysis of the published literature in this challenging field.

"An informative section on osteoarthritis focuses on the use of imaging modalities and monitoring progression of the disease... The index of reviewed papers is a very good source of reference... This is an excellent addition to the rheumatology literature, written by authorities in field and focusing on providing current and concise information on various diseases... The chapters on gout, osteoarthritis, SLE, and use of immunosuppression in rheumatic diseases are enlightening and well written... This is an excellent resource for rheumatologists to help them stay current with recent developments in the field." Aisha Shaikh, Washington University Medical Center.
