Emphasizing the clinical utililty of the procedures discussed, Acute Rheumatic and Immunological Diseases
includes useful algorithms to sort through interrelated medical conditions and diagnoses
focuses on acute management issues rather than on chronic therapy for rheumatic and immunological diseases
provides an exhaustive review of drug overdosage and toxicity
delineates successful treatment strategies for hematological, cardiopulmonary, and renal problems
analyzes specific therapeutic modalities
and much more!
