This book was released on 2001-11-08 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading clinicians and clinical researchers discuss in practical detail the newest treatments used in rheumatic diseases, emphasizing-without neglecting current standard treatments-those experimental therapies now undergoing clinical trials and poised for early introduction into the rheumatology armamentarium. The diseases and therapeutic regimes examined here range from rheumatoid arthritis and its treatment by gene therapy, to osteoarthritis and systemic autoimune diseases. Each chapter is organized so that the busy clinician can quickly obtain all the information needed optimal patient treatment. This includes an analysis of the pathogenic mechanisms that explain the molecular basis of the newer therapeutics, reviews of animal data and the results of clinical trials, and recommendations concerning use, side effects, and precautions.
Download or read book Recent Advances in Rheumatology written by Travis Reagan and published by Hayle Medical. This book was released on 2019-06-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rheumatology is concerned with the diagnosis and therapy of rheumatic diseases. These diseases can be classified into degenerative arthropathies, systemic conditions and connective tissue diseases, inflammatory arthropathies and soft tissue rheumatism. Rheumatoid arthritis, septic arthritis, spondyloarthropathies, etc. are categorized as inflammatory arthropathies. Tennis elbow, low back pain and Golfer's elbow fall within soft tissue rheumatism. The incorporation of biologics such as inhibitors of JAK-STAT signaling pathway, TNF-alpha and certain interleukins are one of the most important developments in this field. Autoimmune diseases are a principal cause of many rheumatic disorders. Therefore, much of research in rheumatology is focused in this direction. Clinical trials of monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of arthritic disorders are another emerging focus in rheumatology. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to rheumatology. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on rheumatology.

Download or read book Biologics in Rheumatology written by Coziana Ciurtin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant progress has been acquired in the treatment of rheumatic conditions with the introduction of biologic therapies, which has enabled better control of disease activity and improved patients' long-term outcome. Apart from several biologic treatments already licensed for use in autoimmune rheumatic conditions, numerous other agents are currently under investigation. This rapid expansion of the therapeutic armamentarium requires a critical analysis of individual biologic options and their clinical indications, in order to facilitate the optimal use of these new therapies. The authors felt that a comprehensive book revisiting all the evidence available regarding the efficacy, cost-effectiveness and health implications of the use of biologics in rheumatology was needed in order to integrate the clinical, ethical and socio-economic aspects related to their use. This book is aimed at specialist doctors, trainees, nurses and health professionals working in the field of rheumatology. It critically appraises the level of evidence behind the use of biologic agents in diverse autoimmune diseases, comprising separate chapters which focus on rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, myositis, systemic sclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, seronegative spondyloarthropathies, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, small, medium and large vessel vasculitis, osteoporosis, and interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatic conditions. In addition, the book explores aspects related to the use of biologic agents, such as ethical considerations of consenting patients to take part in clinical trials with biologics, and adolescent and adult rheumatology nurse perspectives related to patients' benefits of biologic therapies. Particular interest is given to the use of biologics during pregnancy and assessment of their infectious risks. A separate chapter explores the off-target benefits associated with the use of anti-TNF therapies. Several chapters include data about cost-effectiveness, and national and international guidelines for the use of biologic agents in different rheumatic conditions.

Download or read book Progress in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Research written by Tomas I. Seward and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book is devoted to leading-edge research developments in lupus which is a condition of chronic inflammation caused by an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. The immune system is a complex system within the body that is designed to fight infectious agents, for example, bacteria, and other foreign invaders. One of the mechanisms that the immune system uses to fight infections is the production of antibodies. Patients with lupus produce abnormal antibodies in their blood that target tissues within their own body rather than foreign infectious agents. Because the antibodies and accompanying cells of inflammation can involve tissues anywhere in the body, lupus has the potential to affect a variety of areas of the body. Sometimes lupus can cause disease of the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, joints, and/or nervous system. When only the skin is involved, the condition is called discoid lupus. When internal organs are involved, the condition is called systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
