This is one of the most prestigious and comprehensive texts on
arthritis and related diseases, including osteoarthritis,
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, lupus and more than one hundred
others. It offers medical students and physicians a concise
description of the current science, diagnosis, clinical
consequences, and principles of management. New and expanded
chapters heighten the translational nature of this edition.
Students, trainees, and practicing clinicians all need a standard
textbook that can change with the times and reflect recent strides
taken in understanding and treating rheumatic disease. The Primer
fills that need.
Adolescent Rheumatology is the first single-source text that
focuses on how adolescent-specific aspects impact rheumatic
conditions and cross references disease-specific information from
general rheumatology textbooks. Using a generic, developmental
approach to make this book unique, the evidence base is referenced
with a clinical and practical approach that is adopted to each
topic. Written by a list of international experts from a range of
disciplines, chapter topics include: differences in presentation,
diagnosis and management between pediatric, adolescent and adult
rheumatology care adolescent health training issues quality of care
in adolescent rheumatology communication with young people a full
chapter written by young people attending adolescent rheumatology
clinics
For eight decades the Primer on the Rheumatic Diseases has been the
standard text from which most medical students and house ofcers
have learned rheumatology. I myself will never forget thumbing
through an older edition of the Primer as a second-year resident,
while waiting to review a perplexing patient with my tutor.
Fortunately the tutor was r- ning late with his own patients, so I
had time to fip through the book - then much thinner - a couple of
times. While turning the pages, per- ing the features of those
diseases whose names were still exotic to me, and considering my
patient's history of conductive hearing loss and p- monary nodules,
a light went on when I stumbled eventually on a part- ular chapter.
I still remember the jaw-dropping efect on my tutor of my
announcement then that I had a patient with Wegener's
granulomatosis. I think I became a rheumatologist that very moment!
Subsequent editions of the Primer have sufered from the inevitable
"obesity creep," making it an outstanding reference textbook but
virtually impossible to fip through quickly while awaiting one's
tutor, and even more difcult to slip into the pocket of a white
coat to carry on rounds. For this reason we have created the Pocket
Primer, a mini version that cuts the larger book down to its
essentials.
