As a result, modern medicine has focused on treating the symptoms rather than the disease. Here Dr. Adams uses a combination of modern research and traditional medicine to expose the evidence that unveils the root causes and solutions to both the symptoms and the diseases classified as arthritis.

Die Ursachen der rheumatoiden Arthritis (RA) sind trotz intensiver Forschungsarbeiten immer noch nicht geklart. Das Wissen um die Pathogenese hat in den letzten Jahren jedoch stark zugenommen. Die Identifizierung der Regelkreise im Zytokin-Netzwerk mit den einzelnen daran beteiligten Zytokinen war der entscheidende Schritt fur die Entwicklung spezifischer Therapieformen zur Behandlung rheumatischer Erkrankungen, insbesondere der RA. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) und Tumornekrosefaktor-a (TNF-allpha) sind die beiden Schlusselzytokine im pathologischen Geschehen der RA. IL-1 ist in erster Linie fur die destruktiven Ablaufe und die Hemmung von Reparaturvorgangen an Knorpel und Knochen verantwortlich. Hier liegt der wesentliche Angriffspunkt des Interleukin-1-Rezeptor-Antagonisten (IL-1ra). Dieses Buch fasst sowohl Ergebnisse der Grundlagenforschung zur Rolle von Zytokinen bei der RA als auch klinische Erfahrungen bei der Therapie mit einem rekombinanten IL-1-Rezeptor-Antogonisten zusammen."

Bei der Bluttransfusion handelt es sich um die Transplantation eines fremden flussigen Organs.

Von dem am Patienten tatigen Arzt werden damit grundlegende klinisch-transfusionsmedizinische Kenntnisse fur den differenzierten Umgang mit Blutkomponenten und Plasmaderivaten gefordert. Das vorliegende Werk gibt diese Hilfestellung und vermittelt Basiswissen zu Blutprodukten und Transfusionen fur Nicht-Transfusionsmediziner. Es beschreibt u.a. die Risiken von Bluttransfusionen, die Grundlagen der Blutgruppenserologie und die Zusammensetzung von Blut und Blutprodukten sowie das Management bei Transfusionszwischenfallen; es geht auf das aktuelle Transfusionsgesetz ein und die Richtlinien zur Bluttransfusion sowie auf die Verordnung und Gabe von Blut und Blutprodukten. Das Werk ist praxisnah und ubersichtlich gestaltet mit vielen konkreten Tipps, Flussdiagrammen und Tabellen. Die 2. Auflage erscheint komplett aktualisiert erweitert, u.a. zu juristischen und arzneimittelrechtlichen Aspekten autologer Transfusionsverfahren und zum Effektivitatsvergleich autologer Verfahren wie Eigenblutspende versus Hamodilution versus maschinelle Autotransfusion. Das Werk richtet sich an klinisch tatige AErzte aller Fachdisziplinen, die keine ausgewiesenen Transfusionsmediziner sind.

Systemic and nervous system vasculitides are a heterogeneous group of related disorders, each characterized by vascular inflammation such that they have the potential to cause serious morbidity and mortality if unrecognized and therefore untreated. Systemic vasculitis affect all populations and every nationality and walk-of-life, from childhood to older age. The first edition of The Vasculitides, published in 2014, met the urgent need for a clear, concise, and reliable textbook regarding the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, laboratory evaluation and management of these disorders, assembling participants of the 16th International Vasculitis and ANCA Workshop in Paris, France. Five years later, two subsequent meetings have taken place in London and Tokyo. Participants of the 19th International Vasculitis & ANCA Workshop will gather in April 2019 at the University of Pennsylvania for an exceptional venue to share translational scientific discoveries, data from clinical trials, and advances in the clinical assessment, pathophysiology, genetic biomarkers, standard-of-care, and novel therapies of vasculitis. The Workshop participants regathered to update the The Vasculitides, producing an even more cutting-edge two-volume set of books. This is the second book in the set, covering vasculitis of the nervous system and treatments.

Dauernde Knieinstabilitat durch traumatische ligament are oder meniskale Schaden wie auch die direkte traumatische Sch1idigung der kartilaginaren Oberflache der Gelenke und des subchondra- len Knochens sind wesentliche Faktoren in der Entstehung der sekundaren Arthrose. Eine normale Gelenkfunktion ohne intak- ten Gelenkknorpel ist nicht moglich, was umso erstaunlicher ist, als der menschliche Gelenkknorpel nur wenig Potenz zur Rege- neration besitzt. Da bisher keine wissenschaftlichen Methoden bekannt sind, die den ProzeiS der zunehmenden Knorpeldegene- ration vermeiden konnen, muiS es heute unser Ziel sein, den iso- lierten traumatischen Knorpelschaden moglichst fruhzeitig und effektiv zu behandeln und ein instabiles Knie zu stabilisieren. Ausgelost durch Meldungen in der Presse uber die erfolgreiche Transplantation von autologen Chondrozyten und Chondrozyten- zylindern und die In-vivo-Neubildung von hyalinem Knorpel wurde bei Patienten und ihren Anten viel Hoffnung geweckt. Es scheint, daiS wir an der Schwelle zu einer neuen Ara in der Be- handlung von Knorpelschaden stehen. Wenn auch Langzeitresul- tate der verschiedenen konkurrierenden Verfahren noch nicht zur Verfugung stehen konnen, sind die Resultate bisher vielver- sprechend. Wir sind jedoch noch weit davon entfernt, daiS das Problem des Knorpelschadens und des instabilen Kniegelenkes gelost ware.

In Rheumatoid Arthritis: Risk Factors, Health Effects and Treatment Options, the authors open by discussing discuss which bDMARDS and tsDMARDS might be preferred in particular situations, for example in the setting of previous malignancy or in those with an increased risk of infection. Emphasis will be placed on practical solutions for the busy clinician. Following this, they discuss the prevalence and implications of co-morbid depression in RA patients and sub-groups, focusing on ethnic minorities. The barriers to identification of depression and the reasons for low utilization of mental health care resources among specific ethnic groups are analyzed, taking into account patient perceptions of depression and its association with RA. Lastly, the current knowledge about the contribution of smoking as a risk factor for RA development and the possible mechanism of action is reviewed. In addition, the authors highlight the association of smoking habits with clinical, serological, radiographic damage statuses and comorbidities of RA. The benefits of designed smoking cessation intervention on RA outcomes will also be discussed.
