Bringing together a wealth of experience in teaching, research and
clinical practice, the authors have produced a concise evidence-based
guide to the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatological and related
musculoskeletal disorders. The first section, approximately 25% of
the book, outlines principles and the necessary clinical skills, ranging
from basic science, physical examination and history, to signs, investigations,
injection techniques and classification of rheumatological conditions.
The central section (approximately 60%) contains 100 case presentations
illustrated by clinical colour photos and imaging with detailed explanations.
Topics covered include autoimmune rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis,
osteoarthritis, bone disease, mechanical disorders, soft tissue, cancer,
infections, chronic pain and much more. There is a summary page for
each major condition. The interface between primary and hospital care
is addressed.
The final section deals with data interpretation, such as X-rays,
dermatomes and autoantibodies. The rapid review will appeal to young
doctors/residents in rheumatology and general medicine; primary care
physicians, physical therapists and related professionals, senior
medical students. |
