Product Description
Numerous diseases in the areas of orthopaedics, rheumatology, and radiology can only be completely diagnosed if the corresponding conditions of the skin and mucous membranes are included in the diagnostic work-up (skin-bone). Conversely, dermatologic assessment of skin symptoms in isolation may lead to serious delays and errors in the diagnosis and treatment of associated changes in the musculoskeletal system. This monograph gives an interdisciplinary synopsis, from a dermatologic and clinical radiologic perspective, of 85 disease entities which in practice are likley to present. For orientation purposes the main dermatologic and radiologic symptoms are presented in table form at the beginning of the book. ... Read more

Product Description
The last decade has seen major advances in the understanding of the function of the bone marrow and the factors which regulate the formation of blood and the immune function. Technological advances have allowed both a more thorough examination of the processes involved in malignant and non-malignant bone marrow diseases, and the development of new treatments to combat them. The premise of this book is that, with investigation and treatment more closely linked than ever before, clinicians require as great a knowledge as possible of the underlying biology of their therapeutic weapons, whilst researchers need to understand the clinical potential of the biological agents they produce. In the second edition of this well-received work, the authors cover new developments in the molecular biology, diagnosis and treatment of bone marrow diseases, including bone marrow transplantation, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with a final section on possible future developments ...
