When you wake up, are your joints the first things to speak to you? Do you have swollen, stiff, or achy joints? Have you been told you have arthritis? Do you know when it is going to rain, just by the soreness level in your joints? Are you tired of missing activities with family and loved ones because of your arthritis? Do you ever want to feel “normal” again? Many people think of arthritis as the end of living. “I have arthritis. It is just going to keep getting worse and worse. There’s nothing I can do about it”. WRONG! It’s true that once arthritis occurs, it is always there. But there are many ways to improve your pain, movement, strength, and functioning even with arthritis! Over the years I have found it increasing hard for people to find accurate information on healing their pain. Sure, there is a ton of information out there! Just search “arthritis” on the internet and thousands upon thousands of sites will come up. But is it accurate? Can you really believe it? Much of it is misleading. It is someone trying to sell you something. Others are just plain wrong! So how is a non-medical person supposed to find accurate information on improving their pain? That is why I wrote this book. I hope you enjoy it. And if you like it, please share it with a friend.~ Dr. Sara S. Morrison

Early in its development, the subject matter of any field of surgery is too ill-defined and opinions are too fluid for the production of a book on the subject to be possible. Late in its development, controversy is at an end, and although it is still possible to produce a textbook, it is too late to produce a book that might stimulate discussion and crystallise ideas. This book has that objective, it being the Editor's view that the field of the surgical treatment of arthritis of the knee had reached an appropriate intermediate stage in 1978 when this text was written. Three broad issues stand out as being in need of resolution before the optimum form of surgical treatment for a given knee can be defined more convincingly than is possible at present: Firstly: What symptomatic and physical features of the knee are to be recorded pre- and post-operatively, upon the basis of which comparisons can be made between the results obtained by two different surgeons or with two different tech niques. The resolution of this issue requires general agreement not only upon what features of the knee should be recorded but, crucially, upon how these features should subsequently be presented so as to characterise a particular group of knees.

Bringing together the most up-to-date research on post-traumatic arthritis (PTA) and its management, this book is a comprehensive presentation of the current thinking on all aspects of the mechanisms of joint injury and subsequent development of PTA. Divided into thematic sections, it includes discussions of the incidence and burden of PTA, both in society at large and in the military population specifically; the relevant experimental work on PTA, from basic science to animal models; peri-articular tissue responses to of joint injury and potential mechanisms of PTA; the current clinical assessment and treatment of common joint injuries leading to PTA; and emerging technologies and treatments for PTA, including biomarkers and stem cell therapies. Taken together, it will be an invaluable resource for orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists and other joint injury researchers and clinicians.

This comprehensive text presents as introduction the basic knowledge of the anatomy and histology of joints as well as a thorough information on the histochemistry of the articular cartilage. All modalities of examination leading to the ascertainment of the diagnosis in joint affections are discussed in detail and according to the recent results of scientific research. All known (59) entities of arthritis and related affections (4) are considered as to their etiology, pathogenesis, symptomatology, clinical examination, laboratory tests, radiological findings, pathologic anatomy, histopathology, differential diagnosis, conservative treatment and surgical treatment. Each chapter is supplemented with illustrations of exemplary clarity and instructiveness; many of these presented changes were never published before. This didactically well organized and systemic book is of highly informative use to rheumatologists, general practitioners, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and physical therapists.

Designed to be a practical handbook on clinical trial management in these key therapeutic areas, 'Clinical Trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis' is aimed at principal investigators pharmaceutical physicians and other pharmaceutical staff involved in the design, conduct and monitoring of these increasingly complex diseases. In the last several years a new classes of biologic agents have emerged and changed the treatment paradigm for patients, not only with classically defined rheumatoid arthritis, but also with other related diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis. Furthermore, osteoarthritis is a major disease state that is often treated by the rheumatologist, but is one where patient management programs are currently limited with a need for new therapeutic approaches. In both inflammatory and non-inflammatory arthritic conditions, clinical trials have become both large and complex due to the nature of the diseases, with ever-challenging new surrogate end-points being employed. Topics covered in this title will therefore include study design, clinical endpoints, technical issues, data collection, use of centralized medical image reading facilities and biochemical marker laboratories, as well as data analysis and future therapies. This book takes the user through the process step-by-step from start to finish, also providing a background on the regulatory guidelines, ethical implications, endpoints, and current therapies.
