Review

"An informative section on osteoarthritis focuses on the use of imaging modalities and monitoring progression of the disease... The index of reviewed papers is a very good source of reference... This is an excellent addition to the rheumatology literature, written by authorities in field and focusing on providing current and concise information on various diseases... The chapters on gout, osteoarthritis, SLE, and use of immunosuppression in rheumatic diseases are enlightening and well written... This is an excellent resource for rheumatologists to help them stay current with recent developments in the field." Aisha Shaikh, Washington University Medical Center.
