Excerpt: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks synovial joints. The process produces an inflammatory response of the synovium (synovitis) secondary to hyperplasia of synovial cells, excess synovial fluid, and the development of pannus in the synovium. The pathology of the disease process often leads to the destruction of articular cartilage and ankylosis of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can also produce diffuse inflammation in the lungs, pericardium, pleura, and sclera, and also nodular lesions, most common in subcutaneous tissue under the skin. Although the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, autoimmunity plays a pivotal role in both its chronicity and progression, and RA is considered as a systemic autoimmune disease. ...http://booksllc.net/?id=25875 ...

Product Description
This up-to-date and comprehensive set of two CD-ROM discs provides a superb collection of official Federal government documents on the subject of lupus and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Lupus causes the immune system to attack healthy cells and tissues by mistake. This can damage the joints, skin, blood vessels and organs. There are many kinds of lupus. The most common type, systemic lupus erythematosus, affects many parts of the body. Discoid lupus causes a rash that doesn't go away. Subacute cutaneous lupus causes sores after being out in the sun. Another type can be caused by medication. Neonatal lupus, which is rare, affects newborns. Anyone can get lupus, but women are most at risk. Lupus is also more common in African American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American women. The cause of lupus is not known.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust. This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the relevant institute for this disease, and others.In addition to the comprehensive disease-specific coverage, this disc set also includes our Medical Encyclopedia, a $19.95 value!

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sydenham's chorea or Chorea minor (also known as "Saint Vitus' Dance") is a disease characterized by rapid, uncoordinated jerking movements affecting primarily the face, feet and hands. SC results from childhood infection with Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococci and is reported to occur in 20-30% of patients with rheumatic fever (RF). The disease is usually latent, occurring up to 6 months after the acute infection, but may occasionally be the presenting symptom of RF. SC is more common in females than males and most patients are children, below 18 years of age. Adult onset of SC is comparatively rare and most of the adult cases are associated with exacerbation of chorea following childhood SC. ... Read more

Product Description
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with high morbidity and mortality. The book gives a comprehensive review into the history, clinical and immunological aspects including diagnostic and prognostic markers of SLE. The report also describes SLE within a multi-ethnic Caribbean population and compares findings within the three major races. The patient population is drawn from the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, one of the few Caribbean countries with significant concentrations of people of African, East-Indian and mixed descent. The peoples of the Caribbean are descended primarily from inhabitants of West Africa and India and has provided an interesting opportunity to compare the major characteristics to those occurring in their ancestral homeland. While a number of studies have been conducted within developed countries, no comprehensive work has been undertaken within the Caribbean area. The only study of its kind from this region, it is a book for graduate students, medical students and researchers. ... Read more
