The Year in Rheumatic Disorders 2003

The latest volume in a series that is already an established favorite with clinicians, The Year in Rheumatic Disorders 2003 provides a compact overview of the most important papers published over the past 12 months. Compiled by an expert team, the journal extends coverage of the first 2 volumes, reporting on the most up-to-date medical literature in this area. Papers are included on osteoarthritis, phospholid syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and the most recent advances in fibromyalgia, a widespread musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorder for which the cause is still unknown. This is an essential resource for all physicians and specialists involved with treating patients with rheumatic disease.

"As the scientific literature becomes more complicated and voluminous, there is an increased need for insightful, concise, unbiased and timely reviews. This book provides a valuable tool for the clinician, in practice and in training, who strives to remain current but not overwhelmed." --Douglas W. White, M.D., Washington University Medical School for Doody's Notes
