Springer Nature Switzerland AG Managing Myositis: A Practical Guide
Book SynopsisThis comprehensive book serves as a guide in the day-to-day management of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), with a particular emphasis on adult dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), juvenile dermatomyositis, necrotizing myositis, and inclusion body myositis. Practical in nature, it presents IIM concepts in a straightforward fashion, with high-quality figures, algorithms, and flowcharts supplementing each of the expertly authored chapters. The book begins with an introduction to myositis, providing an overview of the myositis basics and what type of patient is affected. Subsequent chapters are organized by the sequence in which a physician often manages myositis, from initial presentation and workup, to diagnosis, treatment, and finally prognostic and long-term outcome factors. The key differentials in various diagnostic studies are thoroughly examined, including electromyography, muscle biopsy, and MRI. Managing Myositis: A Practical Guide is an easy to-read, indispensable resource for internists, rheumatologists, dermatologists, pulmonologists, and neurologists.Table of ContentsForeword1 Introduction to Myositis2 Myositis Basics/Who Gets Myositis 3 Evaluating the patient with suspected myositis 4 Asymptomatic HyperCKemia 5 Clinical Features of Myositis Patients: Muscular Manifestations6 Clinical Features of Myositis Patients: Skin Manifestations7 Clinical Features of Myositis Patients: Lung Manifestations8 Clinical Features of Myositis Patients: Cardiac Manifestations9 Clinical Features of Myositis Patients: Juvenile Dermatomyositis clinical features 10 Clinical Features of Myositis Patients: Other manifestations: arthritis, Raynaud phenomenon, constitutional 11 Making the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Definition and classification of Myositis12 Making the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Electrodiagnostic Testing13 Making the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Muscle biopsy and interpretation 14 Making the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Skin biopsy and interpretation 15 Making the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Lung biopsy and interpretation 16 Making the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Muscle MRI 17 Making the Diagnosis of Myositis: Beyond the History and Physical Examination: Laboratory testing in myositis18 Role of ANA and Myositis Autoantibodies in Diagnosis19 Role of Myositis Autoantibodies in Management and Prognosis 20 Traditional Myositis Autoantibodies: Synthetase, Mi-2, SRP, Ku, PM-Scl, Ro, U1RNP21 Dermatomyositis-associated Autoantibodies: TIF1-γ, NXP2, and MDA522 Newly described Myositis Autoantibodies: HMGCR, NT5C1A, SAE, PUF6023 Myositis Mimics: The Differential Diagnosis of Myositis24 Immune Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy (IMNM)25 Cancer Associated Myositis 26 Myositis Associated Interstitial Lung Disease 27 Pregnancy in Myositis 28 Pathogenesis of Myositis 29 Management Considerations: Pharmacologic intervention 30 Management Considerations:Special treatment considerations - JDM31 Management Considerations: Special treatment considerations - Refractory skin rash and calcinosis32 Management Considerations: Special treatment considerations - ILD33 Role of Exercise in the Management of Myositis 34 Dietary Considerations in Myositis35 Distinguishing Disease Activity and Damage in Myositis

Cornell University Press Watch Your Back
Book SynopsisOver the past twenty years, treatment of back pain has become ever more expensive and intensive. Use of MRI scans, narcotic painkillers, injections, and invasive spine surgery have all grown by several hundred percent. In some areas of medicine, newer treatments have improved quality and duration of life, but as back pain is treated more aggressively, annual surveys of people with back pain report steadily worse impairments. In Watch Your Back!, Richard A. Deyo, MD, proposes an approach to managing back pain, which most adults in the United States experience at some point, that empowers the individual and leads more directly to effective care. Though it may seem counterintuitive, fewer medical interventions may produce better results. Expecting a probe, a pill, or a procedure to cure back pain is usually unrealistic, yet entire industries promote the notion that someone else will fix you. Watch Your Back! exposes these flaws in the current approach to back pain,Trade Review[Starred Review] Deyo (Oregon Health and Science Univ.Hope or Hype) methodically looks at the most frequently used methods of diagnosis and treatment and finds the evidence often lacking, negative, or distorted. With no stake in any particular treatment, the author cites numerous research studies, quotes experts he has interviewed, and provides anecdotes about sufferers, including President John F. Kennedy and Chair of Medicine at Harvard Medical School Jerome Groopman. The author's consistent message is that there is no magic bullet, that more isn't always better, and that patients should be informed partners in any decision. VERDICT Concise, clearly written, and evidence based, Deyo's work would be invaluable to those facing the onset of back pain and the dizzying range of treatment choices, as well as to practitioners and policy makers. * Library Journal *Table of Contents1.

University of Nebraska Press Out of Joint
Book SynopsisMary Felstiner went to bed one night an active professional and healthy young mother and woke the next morning literally out of joint. With hands and arms no longer working right, she had discovered a first sign of rheumatoid arthritis. This book tells both the personal and the public story of this prevalent yet neglected disease.Trade Review"Felstiner brings a feminist's eye and a historian's tool kit to this narrative of her decades-long struggle with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a crippling autoimmune disease that afflicts more than two million Americans. . . . The book's total effect is powerful, and her major chords strike true: RA is a devastatingly disabling condition with steep private and public costs; its disproportionate effects on women have not been adequately addressed; its social, political, and interpersonal implications are significant. In the end, Felstiner's story is as much about the complexities of belonging—as a woman, a feminist, a Jew, an intellectual—as it is about her illness. So it has something to discover for any reader, pained joints or otherwise."—Publishers Weekly"Felstiner proves not only an able historian but a powerful memoirist, deftly combining the private and the public. . . . Particularly compelling are her vivid accounts of how it actually feels to be her: not only the pain that can stop her from doing simple tasks or her problems with side effects of medications, but the tensions chronic illness can create in a marriage and the anxious fears that can flood the mind. . . . If chronicles of triumph over illness may be too upbeat a model for afflictions that worsen over time, Felstiner proves there is something to be gained from any experience, and something more to be gained from examining and writing about it."—Merle Rubin, Los Angeles Times"Our species likes to make sense of things, to find a story to explain even sickness, even storms. In Out of Joint: A Private & Public Story of Arthritis, history professor Mary Felstiner looks for her story within the larger story of her disease. Like many people visited by illness, Felstiner, diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at age 28, wants to know why. In this artful and intelligent book, she examines this question from many angles—personal, medical historical. . . . Her candor and her research, as well as her sharp and graceful writing style, make Out of Joint an evocative and provocative read."—Frances Lefkowitz, Body + Soul"Out of Joint is superbly written and a must for anyone wishing to better understand rheumatoid arthritis."—ForeWord“Out of Joint reminds us that the words we use as health professionals can have a profound negative effect on the recipient’s appraisal of the situation. . . . .

Kramer turns his diamond-hard diagnosis like a prism, reflecting light and joy in surprising places. We need to hear this story now. The honesty and clarity of Kramer and Cathy Wurzer invite us to consider how we live in the face of impending death or unwanted change."—Susan Allen Toth, author of No Saints around Here: A Caregiver’s Days "Yet what comes through most powerfully in Kramer's story is not the pain but the quiet surge of gratitude and joy he has discovered in confronting his imminent death."—Next Avenue, Twin Cities Public Television"Poetic and practical in embracing the inevitable."—MinnPost"Kramer is an excellent writer, a former college professor of education, spinning language in fascinating ways to make the reader stop and think, fell, and explore the profound lessons of a man facing death.

Fessler, and a cadre of esteemed co-editors have compiled the most comprehensive textbook to date detailing minimally invasive spine (MIS) versus open spine surgery techniques. Controversies in Spine Surgery, MIS versus OPEN: Best Evidence Recommendations features debates by renowned experts on one of the most provocative topics in spine surgery. Twenty-four chapters systematically organized into four sections — degenerative, trauma, tumor, and other issues, cover procedures and underlying pathologies, backed by a large, diverse body of literature. MIS and open approaches are thoroughly compared and contrasted in each chapter. Evidence is presented and analyzed in an objective manner with 'opposing sides' presenting differing opinions and techniques, resulting in a synchronous collection of pros and cons. Every chapter is masterfully summed up by the book's editors — each of whom have varying stances on the topics at hand. This unique 'duel' and 'duet' discussion enables readers to assimilate information, benefit from the balanced harmony between divergent opinions, and reach their own conclusions. Key Highlights Comparative risks, benefits, complications, and outcomes for a full spectrum of lumbar, thoracic and cervical procedures MIS versus open approaches for lumbar stenosis, synovial cysts, lumbar adjacent segment degeneration, degenerative scoliosis, flatback syndrome, thoracic disc herniation, and dural tears Tumor resection and stabilization, quality of life issues, and potential advantages and risks of MIS techniques Key differences in MIS versus open operations such as radiation exposure and costs Analysis of 3-D navigational imaging to improve outcomes and reduce radiation exposure and operating time This book is a tremendous, evidence-based tool to guide spine surgeons as they make important decisions on selecting the most optimal spine surgery techniques.
