Book SynopsisDon’t Get Burned! In her newest book, Dr. Lani Simpson provides readers with no-nonsense, easy-to-understand advice about the sun and how our bodies react to sun exposure. This go-to-guide for all members of the family includes: practical information about how to obtain vitamin D from the sun safely, how to protect yourself and your family from sunburns, and how to find safe sunscreen products. This book examines how our ancestors worshiped the sun and how those beliefs shaped our modern relationship with the sun. Dr. Lani’s No-Nonsense Sun Health Guide advocates for a conscious and respectful relationship with the sun. The sun is now listed as a carcinogen, this is true, especially when we allow our skin to burn and neglect basic sun protection. And we also need vitamin D, which is produced when certain rays interact with exposed skin. There are hundreds of conditions that have been associated with vitamin D deficiency including: multiple cancers, hormone imbalances, bone loss and osteoporosis and multiple sclerosis. So, how do we get this essential vitamin from the sun without damaging our skin that could end up causing skin cancers? Is taking a vitamin D supplement the answer? The fact is, not enough and too much vitamin D can result in health consequences. As a complete guide, it contains chapters on skin cancers, how to identify them, and as well as available treatment options. The final chapter covers the importance of sunlight itself that fosters our natural circadian rhythms for a good night’s sleep. These questions, and many more, are addressed in Dr. Lani’s No-Nonsense Sun Health Guide. This go-to-guide also reveals the truth about: sun exposure vitamin D sun tanning skin cancer chemicals in skin products sunscreen chemicals insomnia and the sun

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.

Book SynopsisWith the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) across various cancers, the trends for indication at earlier stages, and the use of combination immunotherapy, the frequency of ICI-induced immune-related adverse events (irAE) is expected to grow substantially. Management of these irAE is challenging as it requires not only consideration of the toxicity but also risk-benefit ratios with respect to the primary cancer. Several rheumatic irAE have been reported with ICI therapy including arthritis, myositis, polymyalgia-like syndromes, sicca/Sjogren-like manifestations, and several other less common systemic autoimmune features commonly associated with connective tissue disease. This handbook provides clinicians with a comprehensive overview of the management of rheumatic irAE that develop from cancer immunotherapy. It focuses on the irAE seen with ICI, the most frequently used agents in treating cancer. It provides an overview of cancer immunology, immunotoxicity, and immunotherapies such as ICI, cytokine-based therapy, and CART. It examines the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of rheumatic immune-related adverse events arising from these therapies. Chapters also cover cancer immunotherapy in patients with preexisting rheumatic diseases such as inflammatory arthritis and other connective tissue disorders. The book helps clinicians to distinguish the current types of cancer immunotherapy and general toxicity patterns, recognize and diagnose rheumatic clinical syndromes, understand the pathogenesis of irAE, and consider risk–benefit ratios when managing patients with rheumatic irAE.Rheumatic Diseases and Syndromes Induced by Cancer Immunotherapy is an essential resource for physicians and related professionals, residents, fellows, graduate students and nurses alike in rheumatology, clinical immunology, oncology, and internal medicine.Table of ContentsPART 1 - INTRODUCTION1.

Book SynopsisThis book details the practice of telerheumatology. Telemedicine is defined as the delivery of healthcare and the exchange of healthcare information across distances. Following, telerheumatology is the delivery of rheumatology care through telemedicine. There exists an increasing demand from patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems for access to academic specialists through telemedicine. This has been the case for the past several years and the demand has only increased with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There is currently a lack of rheumatologists in rural areas and that is expected to spread to a general lack by 2025. Telerheumatology offers an excellent and timely solution to fill these gaps and provide care.Telerheumatology care has been shown to be feasible and quite effective. The current COVID-19 pandemic has thrust the concept of telemedicine into the spotlight. However, not all telerheumatology care is the same and there exists many nuances and differences when examining telerheumatology care across the United States and the world. After comprehensively reviewing the origins of telerheumatology, this work defines in detail the current practice of telerheumatology, along with the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and all applications of telerheumatology. Expert authors also provide a detailed roadmap for providers to initiate, sustain, and grow a telerheumatology program. The book concludes by covering future directions of telerheumatology, including areas for expansion, improvement, and innovation.After reading this work, the editor and all the contributing authors hope that it will inspire, provoke thought and discussion, and lead to increased adaptation of providing telerheumatology care by rheumatologists and rheumatology providers.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisThis book presents paraproteinemia and the highly complex scientific information behind it to clinicians in a way they can understand and, ultimately, apply to their diagnostic and treatment practices. Paraproteinemia or dysproteinemia is characterized by the overproduction of an immunoglobulin by clonal expansion of cells from the B cells lineage which includes the plasma cells. The resultant monoclonal protein can be composed of the entire immunoglobulin or of its components. The identification and categorization of the different representatives of this group of disorders have traveled a long distance, but despite its high prevalence there is surprisingly limited evidence, in some areas, to guide the best clinical practice both at the time of diagnosis and during follow up. This book seeks to fill that gap. The book is divided into three sections, introductory chapters, disease entities and experimental therapies. The text guides clinicians through these diseases and disorders. The group of renal diseases attributed to deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins or their components are arranged as one disease category in order to simplify the understanding of these complicated diseases in plasma cell dysplasia. In emulation of this practical approach, at a larger scale, the volume editors and chapter authors attempt to encompass the whole spectrum of the paraproteinemias in this text. This will have the dual benefit of offering the audience a panoramic view of this group of disorders and simultaneously keeping them focused on its individual representatives. There have been many recent advances in diagnosis, risk stratifications, and management of many members of this group of diseases and they are explored in depth here. This is an ideal guide for rheumatologists, hematologists, nephrologists, immunologists, oncologists, and relevant trainees caring for patients with paraproteinemia and related disorders.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisThis book has been designed to lead you through the first steps of the shoulder arthroscopy. Offering a companion guide, its numerous illustrations and videos support the text and aid in comprehension.The most common mistake in shoulder arthroscopy is to focus on the screen, whereas an external perspective is needed, though not always easy to achieve in practice. We recommend following the chronological order for the first techniques, which are then detailed one by one and can be read separately depending on the problem encountered. These techniques, all of which were developed by the author in the course of 20 years of arthroscopic surgeries, are characterized by their simplicity.

Book SynopsisA comprehensive reference and practical guide on the technology and application of ultrasound to the musculoskeletal system. It is organized into two main sections. The first is devoted to general aspects, while the second provides a systematic overview of the applications of musculoskeletal ultrasound in different areas of the body. Ultrasound scans are correlated with drawings, photographs, images obtained using other modalities, and anatomic specimens. There is a generous complement of high-quality illustrations based on high-end equipment. This book will acquaint beginners with the basics of musculoskeletal ultrasound, while more advanced sonologists and sonographers will learn new skills, means of avoiding pitfalls, and ways of effectively relating the ultrasound study to the clinical background.Trade ReviewFrom the book reviews:“The book is geared towards all specialities interested in musculoskeletal ultrasound, including orthopaedics surgeons, sports physicians, rheumatologists and of course radiologists. It would be just as useful to a novice as an experienced practitioner. … I found this book extremely useful with many little tips for improving my own skills. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is enthusiastic about musculoskeletal ultrasound.” (Shah Khan, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 75 (6), June, 2014)"This book will serve as a terrific reading-room reference … to learn how to apply the cross-sectional modality of US to the musculoskeletal system. Best of all, it is fascinating, readable, and extremely well illustrated … . Each chapter is packed with pearls and is presented with clarity. … The same level of clarity, quality, readability, and comprehensiveness carries through every topic in every chapter. … It has the potential to be both an invaluable tutorial and a constantly used resource for subspecialist musculoskeletal radiologists."

Book SynopsisIschemic optic neuropathy, often referred to as a stroke of the optic nerve, is one of the major causes of visual impairment or loss of vision. Yet it is a highly controversial and confusing subject because of the general lack of in-depth scientific understanding of the subject. In this book the leading authority in the field describes in detail the current knowledge about the different forms of the often devastating disease. Insights into the underlying pathogenesis and peculiar clinical features are given, leading the reader to the most appropriate way of management. This information will help any physician dealing with patients who suffer from sudden loss of vision.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“Dr. Hayreh critically summarizes a vast and complicated array of literature on an often controversial topic. The conclusions are pertinent to a broad audience in neurology and ophthalmology, though the volume as a whole will likely draw the most interest from scholars of neuro-ophthalmology and related fields. … For the more typical reader … this serves to make each chapter accessible and informative in isolation. … The strength of this volume lies in its extensive, critical discussion of the literature with consistent style and message.” (Heather E.

Book SynopsisRheumatic diseases are characterised by inflammation and loss of function of one or more connecting or supporting structures of the body. These diseases especially affect joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, and muscles. Common signs and symptoms are pain, swelling, and stiffness. Some rheumatic diseases also can involve internal organs. There are more than 100 rheumatic diseases. Some are described as connective tissue diseases because they affect the supporting framework of the body and its internal organs. Others are known as autoimmune diseases because they occur when the immune system, which normally protects the body from infection and disease, harms the body’s own healthy tissues (National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases). Systemic rheumatic diseases often affect women during childbearing years, leading to concerns over medication use if pregnant. This book is a concise guide to the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases in pregnant women and in children. Divided into two main sections, the first examines the treatment of women with different types of rheumatic disease. Section two discusses paediatric rheumatology.
