Extensively revised and fully updated, this new
edition of the Oxford Handbook of Rheumatology provides
everything you need to understand the wide range of
rheumatic conditions. Including the latest guidelines
and the most up-to-date information, this is the
indispensible guide for students, trainees, consultant
rheumatologists, and everyone dealing with patients with
musculoskeletal disease. Rheumatic conditions are common
in both general and hospital practice; a primary feature
of many multi-system illnesses, and in the context of
injury, age-related change, and psychological distress.
This handbook provides practical advice, guidance, and
key clinical facts to help you provide the best care for
your patients. Practically structured, the handbook
focuses first on presenting symptoms, and then considers
key diseases, emergencies, and rare diseases in more
detail, finishing with a comprehensive account of
assessment, guidelines, and treatment options including
the latest advances in biological therapy. It provides
practical guidelines on the management and diagnosis of
patients with acute and chronic musculoskeletal
disease.Colour plates and line drawings are present
throughout along with tables of key information. Taking
a clinical, evidence-based approach, written by experts,
and presented in a clear, practical, bullet-point style
for rapid reference, this handbook will be your constant
companion and a joy to use. |
