    About this ebook

    A Synopsis of Rheumatic Diseases presents the study and practice of rheumatology. It discusses the aetiology, diagnosis, and management of the rheumatic disorders. It addresses the scientific work on antinuclear antibodies and extractable nuclear antigens. Some of the topics covered in the book are the biology of synovial joints and connective tissue; immunological principles of rheumatic disorders; pathology of the inflammatory reaction; examination of the locomotor system; classification of rheumatic disorders; rehabilitation in chronic arthritis; and the major rheumatic diseases. The rheumatism due to extra-articular causes is covered. The arthritis associated with skin disorders is discussed. The text describes the neoplasms of synovial membrane and tendon sheaths. A study of the hereditary connective-tissue disorders and psychogenic rheumatism is presented. A chapter is devoted to the limb pain syndromes. Another section focuses on the cervical pain and brachial neuralgia. The book can provide useful information to radiologists, doctors, physical therapists, students, and researchers.
