Infos

Rheumatoid arthritis can be seen as the prototype model of non-infectious inflammation. This is reflected in the wealth of new information generated each year on the subject. This clinical guide informs the practising rheumatologist of the latest research findings and different therapies available.

There is an increasing gap between the amount of information that is published and the time available to assimilate it. This is particularly true in rheumatology, where the proliferation of meetings and publications reflects, in part, the use of rheumatoid arthritis as the prototype model of non-infectious inflammation. This clinical guide aims to keep the practising rheumatologist informed of the latest advances in the field of rheumatology and of the new therapies available for patients.
