{ "item_title" : "Clinical Rheumatology Handbook 2027", "item_author" : [" Benedict T. Elmsford "], "item_description" : "A swollen joint may be the beginning of a much larger clinical picture.In rheumatology, symptoms do not always respect the boundaries of individual diseases. Joint inflammation may coexist with skin changes, vascular abnormalities, or evidence of organ involvement. Autoantibody findings may strengthen a diagnostic suspicion-or introduce uncertainty when laboratory results and clinical features do not agree.Making sense of these presentations requires a sound understanding of inflammatory disease, immune mechanisms, diagnostic limitations, and the treatment considerations that follow.CLINICAL RHEUMATOLOGY HANDBOOK 2027 brings these interconnected subjects into a focused examination of rheumatic disorders, highlighting the relationship between clinical findings, laboratory evidence, disease classification, and therapeutic decision-making.The handbook addresses important areas of rheumatologic practice: Inflammatory arthritis: Evaluating patterns of joint involvement and distinguishing inflammatory presentations from competing explanations.Autoimmune and connective tissue diseases: Understanding systemic manifestations, overlapping clinical features, and the implications of multisystem involvement.Vasculitis: Examining vascular inflammatory disorders and the diagnostic considerations associated with different patterns of disease.Serologic interpretation: Understanding how antibody findings contribute to assessment, why positive results require clinical context, and where testing limitations matter.Biologic therapy: Exploring treatment principles, patient assessment, and the safety considerations associated with immune-modifying treatment.Complex diagnosis: Bringing together symptoms, examination findings, investigations, and competing diagnostic possibilities.Intended for medical learners and healthcare professionals developing their understanding of rheumatic disease, this reference approaches the specialty through the clinical relationships that make diagnosis and management challenging.It recognizes that inflammatory disorders may evolve over time, laboratory findings are not always conclusive, and treatment decisions depend on more than the name assigned to a disease.In a specialty defined by overlapping presentations and changing clinical evidence, sound judgment begins with recognizing the pattern-and understanding where that pattern may lead.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/816/545/9798165454974_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "200.00", "online_price" : "200.00", "our_price" : "200.00", "club_price" : "200.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
