Download or read book Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis Question and Answer Volume 7 written by Dr. Chandrashekara. S and published by ChanRe. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh volume of the book series focuses on the use of tofacitinib for managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The book may serve as a clinical guide to assist healthcare professionals for using the drug safely and effectively, thereby to improve the prescription practice. In the past one decade, tofacitinib has emerged as a potent target synthetic (ts) DMARD for managing RA. The availability of the generic form in global markets has improved its accessibility and clinical use. The drug though very effective in the management of RA, has narrow therapeutic to toxicity ratio. The drug needs to be prescribed with caution. There are set guidelines and pre-introduction evaluation of the drug for safety and probable adverse events. The guidelines and recommendations provided in this book may help to clarify the uncertainties related to tofacitinib prescription. To improve the patient’s compliance, it is critical that the physician provides all the necessary information to the patient. Additionally, the clinician should have thorough knowledge on managing special circumstances, including drug-related complications. The content includes a brief introduction of the drug, followed by questions and answers explaining different clinical scenarios. The author has attempted to address almost all plausible clinical scenarios involved in the RA management using tofacitinib.
Download or read book Immunology of Rheumatic Diseases written by Sudhir Gupta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in basic science and clinical rheumatology make it appropriate at this time to create a volume devoted to the immunology of rheumatic diseases. The impact of molecular biology, gene cloning, and new technologies for establishing hybridomas and T-cell lines in the laboratory is now beginning to be felt in clinical medicine. There is a general air of excitement and a feeling that we stand on the threshold of a new era in molecular medicine and clinical science. It is this excitement that we have tried to capture in this book. This volume is divided into five sections entitled Basic Mechanisms, Autoimmunity, Classical Concepts of Rheumatic Diseases, Pathogenetic Mechanisms, and Therapy. This is not an arbitrary arrangement but represents our belief that from an understanding of basic mechanisms of disease pathogenesis will come new and more successful forms of treatment for the sufferers of rheumatic disorders. We have tried in the selection of authors to choose internationally recognized experts who have both a scientific and a clinical orientation to their subjects. We believe the marriage of clinical and basic disciplines represents the best hope for rapid knowledge transfer from the laboratory to the clinic, where such knowledge can be used to improve patient health.
Download or read book Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis Question and Answer Diagnosis to DMARDs written by Dr. Chandrashekara. S and published by ChanRe. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease, which may result in severe disabilities and deformities if not diagnosed early and managed with adequate dose of DMARDs. The early diagnosis is often impaired by initial atypical presentations and its close mimic to other autoimmune rheumatic diseases. From the point of diagnosis to treatment of the disease, the practicing rheumatologist confronts various challenges. With an intention to address such challenges and to develop a quick reference guide for all clinicians, author started publishing the question and answer series on rheumatoid arthritis since 2012. The answers provided are substantiated by well-accepted guidelines, literature evidence and clinical experience. These answers can assist decision making in diverse clinical circumstances. Author has made a sincere attempt to make the complied volume more scenario-oriented.

Download or read book Rheumatic Diseases and Syndromes Induced by Cancer Immunotherapy written by Maria E. Suarez-Almazor and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) across various cancers, the trends for indication at earlier stages, and the use of combination immunotherapy, the frequency of ICI-induced immune-related adverse events (irAE) is expected to grow substantially. Management of these irAE is challenging as it requires not only consideration of the toxicity but also risk-benefit ratios with respect to the primary cancer. Several rheumatic irAE have been reported with ICI therapy including arthritis, myositis, polymyalgia-like syndromes, sicca/Sjogren-like manifestations, and several other less common systemic autoimmune features commonly associated with connective tissue disease. This handbook provides clinicians with a comprehensive overview of the management of rheumatic irAE that develop from cancer immunotherapy. It focuses on the irAE seen with ICI, the most frequently used agents in treating cancer. It provides an overview of cancer immunology, immunotoxicity, and immunotherapies such as ICI, cytokine-based therapy, and CART. It examines the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment of a variety of rheumatic immune-related adverse events arising from these therapies. Chapters also cover cancer immunotherapy in patients with preexisting rheumatic diseases such as inflammatory arthritis and other connective tissue disorders. The book helps clinicians to distinguish the current types of cancer immunotherapy and general toxicity patterns, recognize and diagnose rheumatic clinical syndromes, understand the pathogenesis of irAE, and consider risk–benefit ratios when managing patients with rheumatic irAE. Rheumatic Diseases and Syndromes Induced by Cancer Immunotherapy is an essential resource for physicians and related professionals, residents, fellows, graduate students and nurses alike in rheumatology, clinical immunology, oncology, and internal medicine.
Download or read book Clinical Trials in Rheumatology written by Ruediger Mueller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-22 with total page 1239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A huge number of therapeutic studies has been published in rheumatology and clinical immunology. This number grows substantially by the year. As such, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of this multitude of studies and the ensuing therapeutic trends. Further to this, a particular study can be referred to in a variety of ways, either as a shortened version of the title or an acronym, adding to the confusion. The book Clinical Trials in Rheumatology, Second Edition, provides an updated summary of the important studies in the field for easy reference. Every study is shown with name, acronym (if in existence), authors, complete citation, study design, and a short overview of the trial's data and main conclusions. An acronym finder is supplied at the beginning of the book. This book is a valuable reference tool for rheumatologists and other clinical specialties, as well as for research scientists interested in immunomodulatory and selected other drug therapies in rheumatologic diseases.

Download or read book Managing Rheumatoid Arthritis Question Answer Volume 3 written by Dr. Chandrashekara. S and published by ChanRe. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of the book series has focused on the use of methotrexate (MTX) for managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The book is written with an intention to develop a clinical guide to assist healthcare professionals for using the drug safely and effectively, thereby to improve the prescription practice. In the past two decades, MTX has emerged as the gold standard DAMRD treatment for managing RA. The prescription of MTX has also changed significantly based on the accumulated experience from clinical practice. However, the assessment of the prescription patterns indicates the lack of evidence-based guidelines for prescribing the drug. The guidelines and recommendations provided in this book may help to clarify the uncertainties related to MTX prescription. To improve the patients’ compliance, it is critical that the physician should provide necessary information about the drug to the patient. Additionally, the clinician should have thorough knowledge on managing special circumstances, including the development of drug-related complications. The content includes a brief introduction of the drug, followed by questions and answers explaining different clinical scenarios. The author has attempted to address almost all plausible clinical scenarios involved in the RA management using MTX.
