This book is a collection of works that canvass many of the recent
developments in various areas of connective tissue research. It
focuses on the structure of the components, molecular organization
and pathology of the extracellular matrix.
The disciplines of rheumatology and dermatology are involved in the
care of several diseases that share cutaneous and locomotor as well
as, quite often, systemic involvement. While traditionally
remaining separate, it has long been recognized that there are
several areas of common interest in these two specialties. Indeed,
this had been realized by sev- eral far-sighted physicians, both
rheumatologists and dermatologists, such asG. Rodnan and 1.
Gilliam. A number of books have been published over the past few
years specifi- cally dealing with skin involvement in the
connective tissue diseases, both inherited and acquired. These
include The Skin in Rheumatic Disease, by C. R. Lovell, P. 1.
Maddison, and G. V. Campion (Chapman and Hall Medical, 1990),
Connective Tissue Diseases o(the Skin, edited by C. M. Lapiere and
T. Krieg (Marcel Dekker, Inc. 1993), and Cutaneous Manifestations
of Rheumatic Diseases, edited by R. D. Sontheimer and T. T. Provost
(Wil- liams and Wilkins, 1996). However, despite this shared
interest, meetings combining the two specialties were generally
limited to small interest groups. It had long been felt that a
workshop should be organized that could bring together the views of
specialists from the two areas and focus on the challenges that
this common ground brings to these two disciplines.
This text represents the proceedings of a conference, Rheumaderm,
that was held in December 1997. The meeting was a dialogue between
the specialties of Rheumatology and Dermatology, exploring and
discussing areas of common interest. The aim was to present
problems common to both specialties, thereby emphasizing the team
approach to such problems and helping to combine various skills.
