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.
