Description
Get new insights into the causes, detection and therapy of osteoporosis and the osteoporosis of rheumatic diseases. In this state-of-the-art

on genetics and pathogenic mechanisms, current developments in diagnostic interventions and prevention, and the very latest techniques
in treatment. This is a must-have reference for comprehensive, one-stop coverage of Osteoporosis.
