Description and Table of Contents
Description
This excellent reference discusses the clinical manifestations and differential diagnosis of gout, hyperuricemia, and related arthropathies resulting from crystals deposited in joints.
Presents new findings in inflammation pathogenesis!
Providing historical perspective as well as the most up-to-date science, Gout, Hyperuricemia, and Other Crystal-Associated Arthropathies
describes the mechanisms of inflammation
profiles the cellular and molecular biology of crystal-cell interaction
reviews groundbreaking epidemiological studies of gout
outlines acute neutrophil-mediated synovitis
details the uses of radiographic imaging in detecting and analyzing crystal deposition
highlights musculoskeletal syndromes associated with calcium oxalate, calcium pyrophosphate, and other types of crystals
links gout to conditions such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and alcohol consumption
extends insights from gout research to other types of arthritis
and more!
Featuring over 500 references, tables, drawings, photographs, and micrographs, Gout, Hyperuricemia, and Other Crystal-Associated Arthropathies is suitable for rheumatologists, orthopedists and orthopedic surgeons, internists and primary care physicians, clinical pharmacologists, rehabilitation and inflammatory disease specialists, neurologists, immunologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and medical school and graduate students in these disciplines.
