Synopsis

At last, a unique practical pocket guide emphasizing the clinical evidence-based approach to Rheumatology. Rheumatic conditions are common both in general and hospital practice and the breadth and complexity of rheumatic conditions that general practitioners and specialists encounter is quite astounding. Developing history-taking and clinical examination skills is fundamental to making a diagnosis and successful long-term monitoring of rheumatic conditions. The "Oxford Handbook of Rheumatology' is a practical, clinical aid to the diagnosis and management of rheumatic disorders. Section 1 takes the reader through common patterns of disease presentation and encourages the reader to consider differential diagnosis and then to refer to Section 2. Section 1 also contains some aspects of the general management of rheumatic diseases, particularly the principles of pain assessment, soft tissue and joint injections, and phsyiotherapy. Section 2 is a more formal and traditional review of the common rheumatic disorders. Each subsection introduces important diagnostic and therapeutic detail without burdening the reader with fundamental basic science. The second section has been written with an international audience in mind, incorporating UK, European, and US disease criteria where possible. The "Oxford Handbook of Rheumatology" highlights childhood and adolescent rheumatic disease throughout and is written in conjunction with the celebrated major reference work, the "Oxford Textbook of Rheumatology". The editorial advisors include: Professor Peter Maddison, Professor David Isenberg, Professor Pat Woo, Professor David Glass.

Revue de presse

For those whose orthopaedic shelves are well-weighted, there will be probably still a gap for this most valuable source of all those conditions which are not to be found in orthopaedic texts, but which present in predominant numbers to every orthopaedic clinic...here is a book shorn of obscure phrases, giving clear descriptions of every condition causing pain in limbs, the physical signs required to make the diagnosis and a sceptical analysis of each as an entry...essential reading for everyone in surgical orthopaedics. (Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol 89-B )

[The book] is a comprehensive and extremely practical guide and a valuable companion to any health professional working in rheumatology...[I] would highly recommend this pocket guide to both trainees and qualified practitioners with an interest in the speciality. (British Health Professionals in Rheumatology )
