Prevention and Treatment of Rheumatic Diseases - by Nicholas Greyson (Hardcover)

About the Book

Rheumatic diseases comprise a diverse group of conditions affecting joints, muscles, and connective tissues. These disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and gout, are characterized by inflammation and often result in pain, stiffness, and swelling in affected areas. They can vary widely in severity and may impact overall health and quality of life significantly. Autoimmune mechanisms play a crucial role in many rheumatic diseases, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging or laboratory tests to assess inflammation levels or autoimmune markers. Treatment strategies aim to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and prevent joint damage. This may involve medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgery. Ongoing research continues to improve understanding and treatment options for these complex and challenging conditions. Treatment of Rheumatic diseases is an upcoming field of science that has undergone rapid development over the past few decades. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of these researches. This book attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the field of Rheumatic diseases.
