Download or read book A Clinician s Pearls Myths in Rheumatology written by John H. Stone and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-03 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Important strides have been made in understanding the pathophysiologic basis of many inflammatory conditions in recent years, but rheumatology remains a discipline in which diagnosis is rooted in the medical history skillfully extracted from the patient, the careful physical examination, and the discriminating use of laboratory tests and imaging. Moreover, selection of the most appropriate therapy for patients with rheumatic diseases also remains heavily reliant upon clinical experience. Medical disciplines such as rheumatology that depend significantly upon clinical wisdom are prone to the development of systems of ‘Pearls’ and ‘Myths,’ related to the diseases they call their own, a ‘Pearl’ being a nugget of truth about the diagnosis or treatment of a particular disease that has been gained by dint of clinical experience and a ‘Myth’ being a commonly held belief that influences the practice of many clinicians – but is false. This book will pool together the clinical wisdom of seasoned, expert rheumatologists who participate in the care of patients with autoimmune diseases, systemic inflammatory disorders, and all other rheumatic conditions.

Download or read book Case Control Studies written by Ruth H. Keogh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case-control approach is a powerful method for investigating factors that may explain a particular event. It is extensively used in epidemiology to study disease incidence, one of the best-known examples being Bradford Hill and Doll's investigation of the possible connection between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. More recently, case-control studies have been increasingly used in other fields, including sociology and econometrics. With a particular focus on statistical analysis, this book is ideal for applied and theoretical statisticians wanting an up-to-date introduction to the field. It covers the fundamentals of case-control study design and analysis as well as more recent developments, including two-stage studies, case-only studies and methods for case-control sampling in time. The latter have important applications in large prospective cohorts which require case-control sampling designs to make efficient use of resources. More theoretical background is provided in an appendix for those new to the field.
Download or read book Reappraisal of Prevailing Premises in Sarcoidosis written by Jerome M. Reich and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances an evidence-based, unifying conceptual view of sarcoidosis that accounts for many of its baffling and seemingly paradoxical features. It thoroughly explores certain aspects of sarcoidosis—including its fundamental nature, causation, relationship to neoplasia, and appropriate treatment—in which prevailing premises either lack support or are opposed by a critical analysis of available data. Where possible, the text transcends description by positing plausible pathogenetic mechanisms. The final chapter sketches 20 fundamental questions, suitable candidates for future investigation, modeled after Hilbert’s justly famed 1900 address to mathematicians at the Second International Congress.
