Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases 13th Edition by John H. Klippel, L eslie J. Crofford and Patience H. White focuses on arthritis and related illnesses, together with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, lupus and more than one hundred others. It gives medical college students and physicians a concise description of the present science, diagnosis, clinical penalties, and rules of management.
New and expanded chapters heighten the translational nature of this edition. Students, trainees, and practising clinicians all need an ordinary textbook that may change with the times and reflect latest strides taken in understanding and treating rheumatic disease. The Primer fills that need. It's divided into 44 components, some with a number of chapters presenting an entire overview of rheumatology including juvenile arthritis.
The description of every entity is divided into epidemiology, etiology together with genetics, patho-physiology and clinic. There are a lot of illustrations, tables and references. This book is aimed for college students, interns, residents, practitioners and their teachers. The number of editions proves its popularity.
This primer is designed to supply essentially the most up-to-date information on nearly every illness encountered by rheumatologists and others who treat patients with rheumatologic diseases. This edition is impressively thorough, covering everything from the analysis of the patient to present and novel therapeutic strategies to the newest basic science knowledge describing possible mechanisms of illness and therapies. The editors accomplish this Herculean process brilliantly, although the length of some chapters might make it difficult to crystallize the information.
The book is designed for anyone excited about learning in detail about rheumatology. A large spectrum of rheumatologic conditions is covered, equivalent to rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitides, osteoporosis, ache syndromes, and periodic syndromes, and many others. Primarily, almost every situation in rheumatology is covered. The breadth of this reference is obvious from the primary chapter, on the public health influence of arthritis, to the last chapter, on complementary and alternative therapies.
