Systemic lupus erythematosus : clinical and experimental aspects by Josef S Smolen( Book )

10 editions published in 1987 in English and Undetermined and held by 150 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

More than 140 years ago, lupus erythematosus (LE) was recognized as a disease entity by clinicians working in the field of dermatology, which had only recently become an independent medical discipline. Soon after cutaneous lupus was first reported, it was realized that, apart from the skin, the disease could involve other organs and thus be systemic in nature. The latter observations were first made by MORITZ KApOSI [1], whose work has attracted renewed attention re cently and who succeeded FERDINAND VON HEBRA to the chair of dermatology at the Medical Faculty in Vienna. The early description of lupus erythematosus in both its cutaneous and systemic manifes tations was thus intimately associated with Vienna and its Medical School. The next phase in the study of lupus was characterized by an in crease in knowledge of the type and extent of organ involvement. The work by OSLER [2], LIBMANN and SACKS [3], and KLEMPERER [4] best represents these advances. The increase in clinical knowledge of LE finally led to DUBOIS' famous monograph [5], which was pub lished at a time of renewed interest in SLE, elicited by the descrip tion by HARGRAVES et al. [6] of the LE-cell phenomenon. A more detailed analysis of this finding revealed that the disease was charac terized by an abnormal immune response, although its pathogenetic implications were still unclear

Rheumatoid arthritis : recent research advances by Josef S Smolen( Book )

8 editions published in 1992 in 3 languages and held by 143 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Many advances have occurred in the last 5 years especially in understanding genetic susceptibility factors, the role of immune response in chronic arthritis and the relationship between cellular processes that underlie inflammation and tissue damage. All these are dealt with in depth in the individual contributions. Genetics studies included illustrate how studies of HLA genes and genes controlling the autoantibody repertoire may be involved. Environmental factors are believed to be important and studies both in humans and in experimental models on the role of viral and bacterial agents are covered. The fascinating relationship between microbes, dysregulated immune responses and oncogenes are also examined. Since autoimmunity is the key aspect of the immunological response in rheumatoid arthritis, the role of antigens is re-examined as is the part played by immune T and B cells. New areas of clinical application of basic science is well presented in this book, forexample, in examining how markers of cartilage destruction may become important in monitoring disease activity. A chapter reviewing possible future novel therapies is included

Contemporary targeted therapies in rheumatology by Josef S Smolen( )

11 editions published between 2003 and 2007 in English and held by 106 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

In Further Targeted Therapies in Rheumatology, the editors of the successful Targeted Therapies in Rheumatology return to the subject to look at how this rapidly moving field has developed in the intervening period. Many completely new therapies have now been added to what was known previously. The book contains 100 illustrations and is edited by an international team, with contributions from experts. Topics include cells and cell surface receptors, cytokines, chemokines, and other effector molecults, transcription factors and signaling molecules, inflammatory mediators, matrix molecules, as well as human and experimental rheumatic diseases

Praktische Rheumatologie by Attila Dunky( )

2 editions published between 2001 and 2012 in German and held by 13 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Die Krankheiten des rheumatischen Formenkreises erlangen immer mehr Bedeutung in der Medizin. Die Kenntnisse über Molekularbiologie, Immunologie, medikamentöse und chirurgische Therapie haben in den letzten Jahren rasant zugenommen. Es ist den Herausgebern und Autoren gelungen, die Rheumatologie mit all ihren Randgebieten auf dem letzten Stand des Wissens zu präsentieren und gleichzeitig für die Tätigkeit am Krankenbett eine praxisbezogene Hilfe anzubieten. Im allgemeinen Teil wird u. a. auf die Bausteine des Bindegewebes, Immunologie, Genetik und Epidemiologie eingegangen, gefolgt von einem Teil über Diagnostik und Krankheitsbilder und einem therapeutischen Teil, der alle medikamentösen, nicht-medikamentösen und chirurgisch-orthopädischen Aspekte beinhaltet. Besonders in den klinischen Kapiteln wird durchgehend eine übersichtliche Gliederung nach folgendem Muster eingehalten: Definition, Häufigkeit, Ätiologie und Pathogenese, Krankheitsbild und Verlauf, Labor, bildgebende Verfahren, Komplikationen, Differentialdiagnose, Therapie und Prognose. Das Lehrbuch ist damit eine geglückte Synthese von fundiertem Handbuch und praktischer Checkliste

Rheumatoid arthritis by Michael H Weisman( Book )

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory joint disease, which can cause cartilage and bone damage as well as disability. Early diagnosis is key to optimal therapeutic success, particularly in patients with well-characterised risk factors for poor outcomes such as high disease activity, presence of autoantibodies, and early joint damage. Treatment algorithms involve measuring disease activity with composite indices, applying a treatment-to-target strategy, and use of conventional, biological, and newz non-biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. After the treatment target of stringent remission (or at least low disease activity) is maintained, dose reduction should be attempted. Although the prospects for most patients are now favourable, many still do not respond to current therapies. Accordingly, new therapies are urgently required. In this Seminar, we describe current insights into genetics and aetiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, assessment, therapeutic agents, and treatment strategies together with unmet needs of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
