Críticas

Fast Facts: Rheumatoid Arthritis handbook is a comprehensive, easy-to-read guide to rheumatoid arthritis...this book represents an excellent resource for a large target audience including doctors who are not necessarily specialists in rheumatology, medical students and allied healthcare professionals. * Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology * "Fast Facts: Rheumatoid Arthritis is a well written book that will suit doctors, nurses and medical students, as well as patients who have only a basic understanding of the condition and want to get more information on clinical signs and disease pathogenesis." Immunology News, May 2012 "This book [Fast Facts: Rheumatoid Arthritis] was so easy to read, I read it in an hour, yet I was amazed that it could update me so efficiently on the new evidence on rheumatoid arthritis, pathogenesis (especially genetics), and immunologic testing. This is a good overview of new ACR criteria, biologics, and mechanism of action with a brief discussion of the new advances in treatment." Richa Gupta, MD (University of Kentucky) - Doody's Review Service, January 2012
