Genetics for Rheumatologists
The Molecular Genetic Basis of Rheumatic Disorders
Julia Newton
,
Matthew Brown
e altri
editore: ReMedica
pagine: 220
This work aims to provide a quick reference source for doctors written to help answer questions on genetics and rheumatology. A large proportion of the diseases seen by rheumatologists have genetic influences. Some diseases are monogenic, but many are without Mendelian patterns of inheritance, nonetheless still having strong hereditary influences. The dissection of the genetic basis of rheumatic diseases has moved rapidly over the past 15 years, increasing our understanding of the causation of the disease, and in many cases improving diagnostic tests and the ability to advise patients about their risk of disease. Increasingly rheumatologists are asked about the likelihood of offspring developing their parents' diseases and about the utility of genetic testing for those diseases. This book aims to provide some answers.
Disorders of Bone and Mineral Metabolism
Fredric Lawrence Coe , Murray J. Favus
editore: Lippincott Williams and Wilkins
pagine: 1100

The contributors examine normal bone structure and mineral metabolism throughout the life cycle, explain the mechanisms underlying each disorder, and provide succinct guidance on evaluation and management. This edition describes recently introduced drugs, thoroughly reviews powerful new treatments for osteoporosis and nephrolithiasis and also features completely rewritten chapters on stone formation. Over than 500 illustrations complement the text plus over 150 tables help readers find needed information at a glance

The chapters on pathology and therapeutics are approached through a clinical framework, accompanied by multiple photographs and offer classical and recent references. The topic of foot orthoses and shoes is easily understandable. The main notions on ankle prostheses are particularly exposed and discussed. The chapters are so clearly presented that they will interest non-specialists and specialists alike. In some of the areas of the treatment, an extremely experienced author offers his point of view on the indications of the therapeutic approaches.

Pathology and Pathobiology of Rheumatic Diseases
Hans G. Fassbender
editore: Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. K
pagine: 503
Pathology and Pathobiology of Rheumatic Diseases glows with the uncommon precision of the pathologist, the clarity of the tea- cher, and the unswerving commitment of the investigator. Fass- bender has produced a major contribution to the literature of rheumatic diseases. The practical experience and wisdom brought together in this book, substantiated by excellent exam- ples of histopathology, produce a landmark for all who have made the study of rheumatic diseases their profession. The enor- mous achievements made in molecular biology, genetics, struc- tural biochemistry, and clinical science have been assembled in this book to interact in a meaningful way with the anatomical histology of the rheumatic diseases. It is not easy for any single investigator to paint the picture of a disease process, from its clinical description to its mechanisms, and then to a defined hypothesis, and finally an understanding. Nonetheless, Fassbender has done this in a clear and convincing way that integrates our current knowledge of this group of dis- eases. Scientific discovery in medicine moves from the bedside to the bench, back to the bedside, and then back to the bench, etc.
It is this iterative process of new observation and new discovery that has given us the achievements in medicine over the past century.
