Rheumatology Books
Oxford University Press Inc The Sjögrens Book
Book SynopsisAfflicting one in 83 Americans, Sjögren''s is a serious and systemic autoimmune disease that, along with symptoms of extensive oral and ocular dryness, can lead to other serious complications including profound fatigue, chronic pain, major organ involvement, neuropathies and lymphoma. While there is no cure for Sjögren''s, approaches exist to help manage and treat aspects of the disease, and this revised handbook offers everything readers need to understand and cope with their diagnosis.The Sjögren''s Book, Fifth Edition is a comprehensive and authoritative guide, produced by the Sjögren''s Foundation and its medical advisors and edited by a leading authority on autoimmune disorders. This expanded edition provides readers with the best medical and practical information on this disease, bringing together current thinking about Sjögren''s in an easily readable and understandable book and providing important new content on areas not covered in previous editions. With more than fifty chapters written by leading experts, this handbook illuminates the major clinical aspects of the disease and is loaded with practical tips and advice as well as scientific advancements in the field. Indeed, it offers a wide-ranging look at the many faces of Sjögren''s, covering diagnosis, the many organ systems that can be affected, emotional burden and management, treatment options, and hope for the future. Recognized as the bible for Sjögren''s sufferers, this reliable and informative guide is the first place for patients to look when they have questions about this disabling disease. It is a valuable aid that patients can use while discussing their illness with their physician and an excellent resource for family members. Because Sjögren''s is greatly underdiagnosed, this handbook is a particularly valuable resource for healthcare professionals.Trade ReviewSince 1989, The Sjögren's Book has been the prime resource for those affected by this disease. This Fifth Edition is even more comprehensive in its scope. Not only does this book detail how this systemic disease is diagnosed and managed by health care professionals, but it provides a comprehensive guide on how to cope with its myriad manifestations. I recommend this wonderful resource to all my patients. * Alan Baer, MD, MACR Director, Jerome L. Greene Sjögren's Syndrome Center Professor of Medicine Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine *This book puts the patient front and center. Clinicians and patients will gain a better appreciation of Sjögren's disease's wide range of symptoms, and the need for collaborative multidisciplinary care to optimize patient outcomes. * Arun Varadhachary, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurology, Washington University School of Medicine *This is a must-have resource for anyone touched by Sjögren's. The Sjögren's Foundation and all contributors have ensured that comprehensive and accurate information is included in this easy-to-understand format to shed light into the many complexities of this serious disease. This revised edition will better enable all readers to become even stronger advocates for themselves and for Sjögren's. * Steven Taylor, CEO, Arthritis Foundation *I'm proud to put forth our most comprehensive edition of The Sjögren's Book to date. As a patient, I personally use this book as my go-to resource to learn about my disease and to better cope with my multitude of symptoms. I bring the book with me to help educate my medical providers and emphasize that Sjögren's is serious and systemic. Our knowledge of Sjögren's has come a long way in the past 10 years and this 5th edition captures this information and gives the entire Sjögren's community hope for the future. * Janet E. Church, CEO, Sjögren's Foundation *

Scion Publishing Ltd Rheumatology: A Clinical Handbook
Book SynopsisRheumatology: A clinical handbook is an essential resource for medical students who need an introduction, understanding and overview of the subject. Most competing texts either burden medical students with information they do not require, or cover rheumatology alongside orthopaedics and as a result compromise fundamentals of rheumatology. This book is different: It provides all the information students need during their rheumatology placement Further information resources are signposted for those who want to take their studies further A definition and brief pathophysiology for each condition is provided, which is linked to the respective clinical features. The book covers the core elements of diagnosis and treatment based on the latest national guidelines to swiftly bring students and junior doctors in training up-to-date. Self-assessment questions and an OSCE chapter provide a way of checking that users have understood and grasped the core material, as well as enabling students to be well equipped for their written and OSCE examinations. Written by two medical students and an experienced consultant rheumatologist, the book combines a reader-friendly writing style with coverage of the material through clinical experience of a professional in the field. Printed in full colour throughout, with an attractive design, a clear and concise writing style as well as a range of pedagogical features including an array of mnemonics, pictures and diagrams, Rheumatology: A clinical handbook is exactly the sort of book medical students and newly qualified doctors would benefit from.Trade ReviewFive-star reviews: Brilliant guide for any medical student! "This book is a fantastic guide for any medical student wanting a concise and student friendly source for everything rheumatology! The layout of the information as well as the pictures and little tips provided on how to go about this subject has been extremely helpful. The book is divided into sections making it easy to catagorise the information, I would definitely recommend it as a read if you're struggling with rheumatology." Amazon reviewer Best rheumatology guide for medical students "I used this book for my musculoskeletal rotation and I strongly recommend it. I didn't even have to make notes from this book but simply read it a few times as it includes all salient up to date information in a very easy to follow colourful format without unnecessary paragraphs of information like in many other textbooks. The student friendly features are topped off with exam styled questions making this arguably the best rheumatology read out there for medical students." Amazon reviewer Brilliant! "I am a medical student and this is the best Rheumatology book I've found. It's very clear and concise with all of the conditions you need to know without waffling. It also contains a useful section about investigations and medication. I previously found Rheumatology to be confusing but thanks to this book it now seems much clearer!" Amazon reviewer An essential textbook for all medical students "I'm surprised there aren't more medical revision guides like this. The book is really student friendly - the content is straight to the point and I really like the use of boxes, diagrams and pictures. I would definately recommend this book to any student undergoing their rheumatology rotation." Amazon reviewer To the point "Very informative and concise, good resource for medical students. Gives all the relevant information in a clear and easy to understand format. I epecially like the "OSCE tips boxes". Very handy for quick reference on the wards." Amazon reviewer Five Stars "Excellent layout. Clear, concise and informative condition summaries, plenty of images and self-assessment. Must-read for all Medical Students" Amazon reviewer Very easy to understand and useful! "For me this book ticks all of the boxes for being a fine modular text. I was completely lost when it came to rheumatology before I picked up this book. It provides you with a lot of high quality information but in a way that is easy to digest. The best feature that sets this book apart from other rheumatology or orthopaedics/rheumatology books is the use of modern features such as a bullet point format, good use of colour and lots of mneumonics, tables and diagrams. The book also being new and up-to-date includes the latest national guidelines in rheumatology and saves me having to search through pages and pages of NICE guidance for instance. Finally the book being small and light makes it practical to carry on wards and clinics. The only downside is that it is a touch pricy for a modular text, but having said that I highly recommend this text for anyone undergoing their rheumatology rotations." Amazon reviewer Wonderful! "A fantastic book, well written and full of wonderful pictures, tables and diagrams. All the pertient information without the waffle! I can't wait to see what else they bring out." Amazon reviewer I have been using this book for my rheumatology placement and it's been really useful! "I'm a very visual learner so I love the fact that it is colourful and concise. I think there is the right amount of information and the tables and diagrams make everything very easy to understand especially as rheumatology is such a tricky specialty that requires knowledge of every other system." Amazon reviewer Small book, concise, really helpful "I recently stated working as a Sonographer in Rheumatology and have found this book an excellent source of information in a small, concise format - thank you" Amazon reviewer Excellent "Excellent book - so clear and a good basis to build on." Amazon reviewer I loved this book "This book [has] very good explanation, easy to understand and remember.Well pictured and structured. The author wrote this book absolutely in that way what I was looking for. Highly recommended!" Amazon reviewer Five Stars "Really helpful for the exam, well written, informative and precise" Amazon reviewer Five Stars "Excellent book for grasping rheumatology as a medical student. Clear, concise and well explained information." Amazon reviewer Genuinely Helpful "I am really happy about my purchase of this book. It's a really nice and easy read, pitched at the perfect level for a medical student like myself. In addition to its easy-to-read layout, i found the diagrams to be extremely helpful and clear. The pictures used and the use of colour is a welcome bonus as well. The OSCE chapter as well as the online access to SBA questions with detailed answers are particularly useful for exams."

Human Kinetics Publishers Essentials of Electromyography
Book Synopsis The interest in and use of electromyography (EMG) have grown significantly in recent years. Researchers have found numerous clinical and research uses for EMG, including biofeedback, gait analysis, and clinical diagnosis for neuromuscular disorders. Yet, until now, few sources have been available to help novices understand the characteristics of the instrumentation, signal analysis techniques, and appropriate EMG applications. Essentials of Electromyography provides the perfect starting point for those who plan to use EMG because it aids in the comprehension of issues such as handling noise contamination to the area, slope, and variability of the EMG signal. The text is also a solid reference for practitioners who use EMG, including exercise scientists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and motor development specialists.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Arthritis Research
Book SynopsisArthritis is an inflammatory disease affecting the joints and surrounding tissues. As the disease develops it can cause severe pain and disability. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful, degenerative joint disease that often involves the hips, knees, neck, lower back, or the small joints of the hands. Treatment usually includes analgesics, topical creams, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (known as NSAIDs); appropriate exercises or physical therapy; joint splinting; or joint replacement surgery for seriously damaged larger joints, such as the knee or hip. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an auto-immune inflammatory disease that usually involves the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, or ankles. This book brings together leading research in the field.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Focus on Fibromyalgia Research
Book SynopsisFibromyalgia syndrome is a common and chronic disorder characterised by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. The word fibromyalgia comes from the Latin term for fibrous tissue (fibro) and the Greek ones for muscle (myo) and pain (algia). Tender points are specific places on the body -- on the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and upper and lower extremities -- where people with fibromyalgia feel pain in response to slight pressure. Although fibromyalgia is often considered an arthritis-related condition, it is not truly a form of arthritis (a disease of the joints) because it does not cause inflammation or damage to the joints, muscles, or other tissues. Like arthritis, however, fibromyalgia can cause significant pain and fatigue, and it can interfere with a person''s ability to carry on daily activities. Also like arthritis, fibromyalgia is considered a rheumatic condition. This book presents the latest research in this field.
