Atlas of Psoriatic Arthritis Eds. Mease and Helliwell A visual guide to the complex and inter-related diseases of psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, this volume contains more than 150 images spanning a wide spectrum of variations of the disease. Each chapter comprises an introductory overview, along with a series of relevant images and tables in which the key information on each topic is outlined. The content is comprehensive and authoritative, featuring contributions from leading experts who chart the diseases from diagnosis through to clinical treatment.  This book contains an expansive but simple to digest summary of the subject, featuring up-to-date discussion by renowned field practitioners on the following areas: Epidemiology Aetiology and pathogenesis Clinical evaluation Paediatric psoriatic arthritis Imaging Skin disease Management of psoriasis Treatment of psoriatic arthritis   Along with charting the rise of radiological imaging in the subject, the book also includes sections on juvenile psoriatic arthritis, which will aid clinicians in distinguishing the characteristics and features of the disease in children, as well as discussions of clinical drug trials. Overall, the book will be of particular interest to rheumatologists, dermatologists, and family practitioners, with the atlas’ images especially providing an essential reference library.

Tissue engineering is gaining interest as it is applied for regeneration of organs to attain their lost function. Although resorbable scaffolds and progenitor cell types are required principles to engineer a functional tissue locally, the inductive signal is a prerequisite to trigger the growth and differentiation of responding cells in space and time. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), also called growth and differentiation factors (GDFs), originally identified from bone have been successfully used to regenerate the bone in humans. Most recent preclinical data suggests that BMPs have a potential to provide protection against inflammation and fibrosis in acute and chronic injury of parenchymal tissues when applied systemically to sustain the function of kidney and liver. The application of BMPs from a local to systemic utility is a rapidly growing field, gaining interest among researchers and biotech entrepreneurs. In this volume, we summarize the advances made on the local and systemic use of BMPs including chapters covering the regulation of BMP-signalling pathways, biological actions of BMPs in bone, cartilage and teeth, as well as clinical applications and potential systemic use of BMPs for tissues beyond bone. This volume is of interest to researchers from immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, and clinicians from orthopedics and dentistry, as well as to research managers from biotech and pharmaceutical companies.

According to the Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee (ADCC), between 14.7 and 23.5 million people in the USA–up to eight percent of the population–are affected by autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are a family of more than 100 chronic, and often disabling, illnesses that develop when underlying defects in the immune system lead the body to attack its own organs, tissues, and cells. In Diagnostic Criteria in Autoimmune Disease, the editors have gathered in a comprehensive handbook a critical review, by renowned experts, of more than 100 autoimmune diseases, divided into two main groups, namely systemic and organ-specific autoimmune diseases. A contemporary overview of these conditions with special emphasis on diagnosis is presented. Each chapter contains the essential information required by attending physicians as well as bench scientists to understand the definition of a specific autoimmune disease, the diagnostic criteria, and the treatment.

Inflammatory Arthritis in Clinical Practice is intended primarily as a concise practical handbook for general practitioners, rheumatology doctors in training and those in related specialties like orthopaedics. It will also be of interest to specialist nurses and allied health professionals working in the field. It covers all aspects of the diagnosis and management of rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthropathies with chapters on Rheumatoid arthritis – pathogenesis, clinical features, laboratory investigations, imaging, predicting outcomes and health economics Spondyloarthropathies – pathogenesis, clinical features, laboratory investigations and imaging followed by individual sections on each spondyloarthropathy Symptomatic Drug Treatment – analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including coxibs Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs – methotrexate, leflunomide and other conventional DMARDs, combination therapy, current best practice Biologics in Rheumatoid Arthritis – tumour necrosis factor inhibitors and other novel biologics, health economics Systemic and Local Steroids Non-pharmacological therapy – multidisciplinary approach, communication and patient education, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, surgery, dietary interventions and complementary therapies.
