About this title

Synopsis

Bringing together the expertise of an international group of contributors, the editors set out to address the most contentious issues posed by the problem of rheumatoid arthritis. The result is a series of state-of-the-art review papers on the subject that will interest all rheumatologists wishing to keep abreast of this fast-moving field.

From the Back Cover

This book is aimed at several groups, including clinicians, therapists and researchers. Rheumatologists, in training and practice, will find that it brings together the new advances in the science and management of rheumatoid arthritis. Therapists might find it useful to broaden their understanding of this important disease. Scientists will find the coverage of the molecular basis of the disease, pathogenesis, possible causes and potential new therapies of interest.

The book is divided into four sections covering aetiology, disease progression, drug treatment and other aspects. In each section a selection of controversial issues is discussed. Arguments are supported by the most recent available evidence. The book, therefore, provides the reader with an interpretation of the clinical trial data in rheumatoid arthritis and its relevance to day-to-day practice.
