Subjects (MeSH): Arthritis, Rheumatoid

Abstract: Atlas of Rheumatoid Arthritis is a high-quality educational initiative, written by leaders in the field of rheumatology, containing a collection of approximately 150 relevant images, with extended descriptive captions and a comprehensive bibliography. The Atlas of Rheumatoid Arthritis will provide clinicians with a visual guide to rheumatoid arthritis, focusing on assessment, diagnosis and treatment, including newer research into the signalling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of RA, before focusing on the treatment of RA. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common and most serious of the inflammatory arthritic disorders, and it dominates clinical rheumatological practice. Effective, early treatment is vital as this can slow the course of the disease and reduce joint damage. RA is usually treated using disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), most commonly methotrexate. The newest treatments target the disease-causing immune elements specifically and directly.

Contents: Classification of rheumatoid arthritis -- Pre-rheumatoid arthritis -- Early rheumatoid arthritis -- Established rheumatoid arthritis -- Remission and rheumatoid arthritis -- Magnetic resonance imaging in rheumatoid arthritis -- Ultrasound imaging in rheumatoid arthritis -- Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in rheumatoid arthritis -- Methotrexate -- Immunotherapy -- Rituximab -- Novel therapies in rheumatoid arthritis: small molecules.

Abstract: Nowadays, it is established that carpal ligamentary lesions may lead to instability and then to carpal arthritis. However, the variety of anatomopathological classifications and the multiplicity of surgical repair techniques reflect the difficulty of conceiving this ligamentary pathology. The clinical analysis and traditional investigation techniques face the complexity of the wrist. Its mechanical complexity is due to the number of synchronized bones in every movement of the hand. The clinical analysis of the wrist is insufficient to precisely measure the mobility of each carpal bone. Paraclinical examinations are also significant for clinical diagnosis. The tools available today range from X-rays to arthroscopy, including arthroCTscan and soon MRI. As concerns repair techniques, their diversity must not hide the fact that a biomechanical and physiological principle is involved and must be identified. This book is the result of a reflection of an expert group in the field of wrist pathology. It attempts to analyze, understand, explain and make comprehensible, if not obvious, the reflections that each practitioner should employ during the diagnosis and treatment of carpal ligamentary lesions. The focus is consciously not on degenerative carpal pathology, which usually enjoys more visibility. We hope that readers will benefit from the fact that fragmented pieces of knowledge are gathered in a single work, that they will find in this beginning synthesis inspiring to rethink a difficult and sometimes thankless surgery and to further the surgical advances of the 21st century.

Contents: PART 1: FUNDAMENTALS -- Anatomy of the carpal ligaments -- Biomechanics of the carpus. Application to the ligamentary lesions -- Clinical examination of wrist ligaments -- Imaging traumatic carpal instabilities -- MRI of Normal Anatomy and injuries of extrinsic ligaments -- Definition and classification of carpal instabilities -- Radio-carpal rotary instability -- Vertical Instability of the carpus. Axial dislocation and fracture-dislocation: Review of the literature -- Normal arthroscopy of the wrist -- Wrist arthroscopy to study intrinsic ligaments -- Arthroscopic anatomy and lesions of the extrinsic ligaments -- Dynamic arthroscopic testing: false positives and false negatives -- Arthroscopic criterions to date ligamentary trauma -- PART 2: TREATMENT OF LIGAMENTARY LESIONS -- Management of the wrist sprains by the general practitioner -- Role of the surgeon in raising the awareness of first-line general practitioners -- Management of the constitutional painful mediocarpal laxity -- Arthroscopic debridement and pinning: treatment of peri-lunate unstable recent lesions -- Scapho-lunate ligament suture with arthrotomy -- Treatment of scapho-lunate instability with Blatt's capsulodesis -- Treatment of the chronic lesions of the scapho lunate ligament before arthritis -- Berger's dorsal intercarpal capsulodesis in chronic scapho-lunate instability -- Viegas's dorsal scapho-lunate capsulodesis -- Capsulo Fibrodesis.

Abstract: Challenging Cases in Rheumatology and Diseases of the Immune System is the latest title in a growing collection of thought-provoking case-based titles from Massoud Mahmoudi, D.O., Ph.D. Like his three preceding titles, Challenging Cases in Allergy and Immunology (2009), Challenging Cases in Allergic and Immunologicá Diseases of the Skin (2010), and Challenging Cases in Pulmonology (2011), this easy-to-read title presents the topic in a challenging and enjoyable case-based format. Developed by 30 distinguished contributors, the book consists of six parts and 16 chapters, with each chapter presenting two cases. The style of this title follows the previous books: each topic begins with an abstract, followed by a case presentation, working diagnosis, data, final diagnosis, and discussion. In addition, to enhance a review of the subject and stimulate critical thinking, there are 5 to 10 multiple choice questions and answers in each chapter. Challenging Cases in Rheumatology and Diseases of the Immune System is an indispensable resource for all clinicians who care for patients with rheumatic and immunologic disorders.
