Interdisciplinary Rheumatology – serie

Certain diseases may involve organ systems that cross the boundaries of specialties. For instance, a patient with scleroderma can develop interstitial lung disease, or a patient with relapsing polychondritis can have the clinical manifestation of subglottic stenosis. This book represents a collaboration between specialties, helping clinicians recognize the implications of disease both within their own specialty and in the overlapping specialty. Here, leading experts from the fields of rheumatology and pulmonology provide a masterclass in the care of patients with systemic illnesses that involve the immune system and the lungs.Key Features:Provides an evidence-based clinical approach to the patient with pulmonary manifestations of rheumatic diseaseDetails cutting-edge research with input from the world’s leading expertsDiscusses possible future directions for research and advancement

A key problem in medicine is that certain diseases may involve organ systems that cross the boundaries of individual specialties. For instance, a patient with scleroderma can develop myocarditis, or one with vasculitis can manifest with aortitis, which in turn can affect the function of the aortic valve. This book represents a dialogue between specialties, helping clinicians understand the implications of disease both within their own specialty and in the overlapping specialty of the case. Here leading experts from the fields of rheumatology and cardiology provide a masterclass in the care of patients with systemic illnesses that involve the immune system and the cardiovascular system.Key Features:Provides a clinical approach to the patient with cardiovascular manifestations of rheumatic disease.Details cutting-edge research with inputs from the world’s leading experts.Discusses possible future directions for research and advancement.

Ask rheumatologists what is one of the things that they desire most and they’ll often say: I wish I knew more about other areas so I could care for patients whose disease manifestations cross over into other specialties. This is especially true of patients whose rheumatologic conditions have dermatology manifestations or are closely linked to dermatologic disease. The intersection between them lends well to interdisciplinary care, and rheumatologists, dermatologists and primary care physicians have the opportunity to expand their knowledge through the expertise shared in this book. This book serves as a dialogue between specialties and provides a masterclass from world-renowned experts.Key Features:Provides a clinical approach to the patient with dermatologic manifestations of rheumatic disease.Details cutting-edge research with input from the world’s leading experts.
