This detailed, practical textbook focuses on immune mediated disorders of the nervous system with particular focus on systemic autoimmune disorders. Divided into three sections, the first discusses the neuroanatomical and pathophysiologic basis of immune mediated disorders of the nervous system. Following this are 24 chapters devoted to individual clinical conditions. To conclude, the final section explains what is known about the mechanisms of immunomodulatory treatments and practical points about monitoring patients on these treatments. Neurorheumatology: A Comprehensive Guide to Immune Mediated Disorders of the Nervous System bridges the gaps among different branches of medicine and is an indispensable resource for rheumatologists and neurologists looking to develop a firm understanding of these dynamic disorders.

Le guide PAPA en rhumato-gériatrie est le second guide PAPA de spécialité - après l'uro-gériatrie. Il a été coordonné par le Professeur Claude Jeandel et le Docteur Emmanuel Maheu pour AGRHUM (Association Gériatrie et RHUMa-tologie). Ce guide traite les principales pathologies rhumatologiques du sujet âgé : L'arthrose, l'épaule douloureuse, les pathologies de la hanche, les pathologies du genou, les pathologies rachidiennes, l'ostéoporose, les chutes et parcours de marche, les arthropathies microcristallines, la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, la pseudo-polyarthrite rhizomélique, les tendinopathies, les douleurs des pieds. Le Guide PAPA en rhumato-gériatrie s'inscrit dans les objectifs d'Agrhum, à savoir : établir un guide des conduites à tenir dans les 12 principales situations rencontrées en rhumato-gériatrie (hors affections relevant de l'infectiologie et de l'oncologie). Le présent ouvrage a été rédigé par les membres de l'Association Agrhum : Philippe Bréville, Christian Cadet, Claude Jeandel, Jean-Laurent Le Quintrec, Odile Lévy-Reynaud, Emmanuel Maheu, Agnès Portier, Bernard Verlhac, Jean-Marie Vétel.

Because genetic factors can impact immune responses, and immunogenetic associations serve as a predictor of disease development and as a biological indicator of disease progression, the study of immunogenetics is important to basic genetics and immunology, as well as to translational and individualized medicine.This book addresses a few but important issues on the subject of immunogenetics. First, it will review the role that human leukocyte antigen molecules play in the immune system and then take into consideration the effectiveness of Western blotting for the detection of immunologic proteins. The book will discuss studies on the immunogenetics of cancer and tuberculosis followed by implications for immunotherapy. Working separately, the book will also provide evidence that the application of immunogenetics has improved our understanding of brain and behavior disorders.

Epithelial tissue does not spring to mind as an obvious source of autoimmune phenomena. Yet, genetic predisposition and influence of various environmental and epigenetic factors may lead to epithelium becoming a springboard for the development of autoimmune diseases, such as Sjögren’s syndrome, primary biliary cholangitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, or IgG4-related diseases. This book is intended as an introduction to the problem of “autoimmune epithelitis” and diseases closely related to the immune disturbances of the epithelium, with special emphasis on those affecting exocrine glands. Both theoretical and practical knowledge, presented by authors from a wide range of medical specialties, should be of help for medical professionals who have to deal with this difficult problem in their daily practice.
