Download or read book Skills in Rheumatology E Book written by Hani Almoallim and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a quick aid for any clinician dealing with patients with rheumatic diseases. The major gap that we tried to fill by writing this book is the clinical relevance to practice! It is hardly ever seen that a resident in rheumatology is carrying any book about rheumatology in his/her rotation! Obviously, because there are no good books with relevance to the daily practice a resident is facing! Now, here are the specific objectives of the book. The chapters might be fulfilling more than one of these general objectives: To construct a clinical approach to patients with arthritis. To interpret laboratory findings in patients with rheumatic diseases. To prescribe and monitor drugs used to treat patients with rheumatic diseases. To construct a diagnostic approach to common medical problems in patients with rheumatic diseases. To provide an update in the classification and management of common rheumatic diseases based on international societies. The features and content in the book that will be most valuable: The first part which represent the basics in rheumatology practice. There will be a comprehensive chapter about how to approach history taking from patients presenting with a rheumatological problem. There will be also a simplified approach to MSK examination of common joints from a rheumatological perspective with the intention to diagnose arthritis and not to be mixed with sports injuries or other soft tissue problems. In the last section of the book, we will bring the latest classification criteria and the latest recommendation for management guidelines (they are so many!) in one section! We are not considering our book as a reference in how to manage patients with RA or SLE by prescribing appropriate drugs! We are going only to focus on the approach to the patients and providing the latest guidelines for management available for the reader of the book.

Book excerpt: I was Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at the tender age of 25, my world turned upside down. The vibrant, active life I once knew seemed to fade away, replaced by a constant battle against pain, stiffness, and fatigue. It was as if my own body had turned against me, a cruel twist of fate that threatened to confine me to a life of limitations. But I was determined not to let RA define me. I refused to surrender to the debilitating symptoms that threatened to rob me of my dreams and aspirations. Instead, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, seeking ways to reclaim control over my health and well-being. Along the way, I stumbled upon the transformative power of diet and fitness. I discovered that the foods I consumed and the way I moved my body had a profound impact on my RA symptoms. With each step, each mindful choice, I felt a renewed sense of empowerment, a growing belief that I could manage my condition and live a fulfilling life. This book is a testament to my journey, a personal account of the challenges I faced, the lessons I learned, and the strategies I developed to thrive with RA. I share my story not as a medical expert but as a fellow traveler on this path, hoping to inspire and empower others who are facing similar battles. Within these pages, you will find a wealth of information on how to harness the power of diet and fitness to manage RA effectively. I delve into the science behind nutrition and exercise, exploring how specific foods and activities can reduce inflammation, improve joint function, and enhance overall well-being. But this is not just a book about food and exercise; it's a story of resilience, self-discovery, and the unwavering belief in one's own potential. It's a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever before. I hope that my journey will resonate with you, that my experiences will serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration. Whether you are newly diagnosed with RA or have been battling the disease for years, I believe that there is always something new to learn, a new path to explore, and a new level of empowerment to embrace. Join me on this journey as we redefine life with RA, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is about the pain and suffering that I had to indulge as a young child who had to live with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of nine. I learned early that sickness does not have a special age. This disease caused me to grow up early in order to cope with it. I learned that people could be so cruel and mean. People do not just have prejudice about skin color; they can have prejudice toward someone who has a disease that they do not understand. However, thank God for my grandmother, Hattie Fields. She taught me God is the head of my life and that He has a reason for everything he does. The plan that he has for me is to show others with a disease, or even those without one, that life is what you make of it. I hope that this book can help someone live his or her life to the fullest and gain happiness"--Page 4 of cover

It explores the practice of incorporating psychological and behavioral approaches in the rheumatology clinic in order to surmount the problems of access and enhance the quality of care, promotes a comprehensive perspective on the numerous issues affecting persons with arthritis, and provides clinical guidelines for management.
