Description
Developed as a companion text to the 3rd Edition of the heralded Rheumatology, by Hochberg et al., this state-of-the-art reference presents
today's understanding of the spondylarthropathies. You'll find thorough examinations of the innovative, new treatments that challenge
older concepts of treatment and management of the disease. Noted experts in the field also present the latest concepts in early diagnosis
using advanced imaging techniques * cutting-edge knowledge of the pathogenetic and epidemiologic features * essential new developments
in immunology * and the most recent understanding of the socio-demographic impact of the disease.
