This book explores comorbidity in patients with rheumatic diseases
and details both care and treatment options in standard clinical
practice. Patients with rheumatic diseases are clinically complex,
and the interplay of their disease activity with associated
conditions may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Recently
there have been major advances in the management of rheumatic
diseases, however, without addressing the potential comorbid
conditions, including cardiovascular disease; pulmonary disease;
and depression; outcomes remain poor. With its 19 chapters,
covering the management of major rheumatic diseases (e.g.
rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus , and
osteoarthritis), potential comorbidities and treatment
recommendations, as well as possible interactions between
conditions; this book addresses the gap between textbook medicine
and day to day patients' care. Authors also discuss the new hot
issue of the comorbidity index, comparing the standard tools to the
recently developed indices and how they can assist the
rheumatologists in determining disease burden, prognosis, and
comorbidity probability. This book is an ideal clinical guide and
reference that enables rheumatologists, internal medicine
physicians, and residents to address the full clinical expression
of these rheumatic diseases with views towards prevention or early
management of comorbid conditions.
This book is a practical and evidence-based guide to performing
clinical musculoskeletal ultrasound for patients suffering from
various rheumatic diseases. It represents the best current thinking
on the role of ultrasonography in the assessment of pathology,
diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. Following introductory
chapters covering fundamental techniques and pitfalls of
musculoskeletal ultrasound, the book discusses the uses of
ultrasound to identify and monitor different rheumatic conditions,
including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis,
osteoarthritis, pediatric musculoskeletal disorders, carpal tunnel
syndrome and inflammatory conditions. It concludes with a chapter
dedicated to ultrasound-guided interventional procedures, with
illustrations depicting patients and probe positioning. Featuring
contributions from a large international group of leaders in
musculoskeletal ultrasonography, Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography in
Rheumatic Diseases is an authoritative reference for
rheumatologists, sonographers, radiologists and orthopedic
specialists.
