"Problem Solving in Rheumatology" joins this growing series. Co-authored by Lee Kennedy who wrote "Problem Solving in Diabetes", this will be an important contribution in an important and fast moving clinical area. Each clinical case will highlight how recent developments in clinical and pharmaceutical research have had key impact on the practice of rheumatology. More than 50 cases covering all the major areas of rheumatic disorders will be included, eg., rheumatoid arthritis, gout, joint replacement surgery, diet, pain management, carpel tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, tennis elbow, osteoporosis, ankyklosing spondylitis, infections and tumours to name but a few. In style of the series, each case will be accompanied by introductory questions, a few key references and a management algorithm. The practice of rheumatology is constantly changing with new ways to manage disorders. It should be a popular book, reflecting up-to-date practice. This is a practical and up-to-date book that will be a useful addition to the doctor's library.
