Product Description
This comprehensive visual reference contains over 150 images from a wide gamut of variations of the disease, as well as charts and tables detailing the most up-to-date information on patient susceptibility, incidence, and symptoms, providing the clinical presentation of the disease, as well as radiographic, ultrasound, and MRI images to highlight the role of imaging in psoriatic arthritis. Although several proposed methods for classifying PsA have been published, none has been widely accepted or validated. This book proposes the use of an amended version of the Moll and Wright method, and functions mostly as a visual reference and data source of the most up-to-date findings and comprehensive images of PsA. The book includes sections on juvenile psoriatic arthritis which aid practitioners in distinguishing the characteristics and features of the disease in children, as well as discussions of clinical drug trials.
The book will be of particular interest to rheumatologists, dermatologists, and family practitioners.
Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: An Integrated Approach
In the past decade it has become increasingly clear that psoriatic disease, both of the skin and joints, can be a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the physician and a debilitating illness for the patient. At the same time, advances in genetics and immunology have increased our understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This text contains a comprehensive discussion by an international group of experts in psoriatic disease of the pathomechanisms, genetics, diagnosis, and treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The information is presented in parallel in order to emphasize the similarities and differences between these two diseases that so commonly occur together. We believe that this approach will make this text an important resource for all practitioners who treat patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
