Sinopsis

Bringing together the expertise of an international group of contributors the editors set out to address the most contentious issues posed by the problem of rheumatoid arthritis. The result is a series of state-of-the-art review papers on the subject which will interest all rheumatologists wishing to keep abreast of this fast moving field. "I believe that this book hopes to address some of the problems arising from the compartmentalisation of modern medicine." "Professor Bird is highly competent with an excellent reputation for balance and fair mindedness." "I suspect the target audience should be trainees in internal medicine who are considering rheumatology, or trainee rheumatologists in their early years. It could also be useful for those longer in the tooth who may feel they need a review of the area." "Since opinions are likely to present in abundance in such a book, and I have already suggested that it should be designed for a relatively short life, then topicality is the order of the day." Dr Michael L Snaith, Senior Lecturer in Rheumatology, University of Sheffield.

De la contraportada

This book is aimed at several groups, including clinicians, therapists and researchers. Rheumatologists, in training and practice, will find that it brings together the new advances in the science and management of rheumatoid arthritis. Therapists might find it useful to broaden their understanding of this important disease. Scientists will find the coverage of the molecular basis of the disease, pathogenesis, possible causes and potential new therapies of interest.

The book is divided into four sections covering aetiology, disease progression, drug treatment and other aspects. In each section a selection of controversial issues is discussed. Arguments are supported by the most recent available evidence. The book, therefore, provides the reader with an interpretation of the clinical trial data in rheumatoid arthritis and its relevance to day-to-day practice.
