This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the etymologic background of rheumatology foretells the intimate relationship between diseases of the chest and rheumatologic disorders, a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Close collaboration between experts in both disciplines is essential in the comprehensive assessment and management of these complex patients. It has been nearly 10 years since Clinics in Chest Medicine devoted an issue to the pulmonary complications of the rheumatic disease. New antibodies have been discovered that aid in diagnosis and phenotyping of disease and give further insights into pathobiologic mechanisms. We now have criteria for interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features, which describe individuals with both interstitial lung disease and combinations of other clinical, serologic, and/or pulmonary morphologic features, which presumably originate from an underlying systemic autoimmune condition, but who do not meet current rheumatologic criteria for a defined connective tissue disease. With translation of fundamental discoveries, we have an even greater treatment arsenal that includes new and re-purposed immunosuppressive and biologic therapies, antifibrotic drugs, and agents that target vascular pathways. Data from rigorous placebo-controlled clinical trials now inform treatment decisions. In addition, a greater number of centers are willing to perform lung transplantation in highly complex patients with outcomes mirroring those without rheumatic disease, and there is an evolving role for autologous stem-cell transplantation.
Download or read book Pulmonary Manifestations of Rheumatic Disease written by Paul F. Dellaripa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectrum of systemic rheumatologic disease (often termed connective tissue disease) is characterized by autoimmune-mediated organ dysfunction, and the lungs are a frequent target. There are numerous pulmonary manifestations associated with connective tissue diseases, and all patients with rheumatologic disease are at risk of developing associated lung disease. Pulmonary Manifestations of Rheumatic Disease covers the comprehensive management of rheumatologic lung disease, which requires a multi-disciplinary approach and is optimized by active engagement by rheumatologists working closely with pulmonologists and other specialists. The book offers a practical reference using a case-based approach for practicing clinicians in the ongoing assessment and understanding of rheumatologic lung disease, and presents the science and pathophysiology underlying rheumatologic lung diseases. The first text of its kind specifically dedicated to describe diverse, commonplace, and challenging aspects of rheumatologic lung diseases, Pulmonary Manifestations of Rheumatic Disease serves as an invaluable tool for the practicing clinician.
