The Year in Rheumatic Disorders provides a single authoritative resource that enables the busy clinician to keep up to date. Compiled by a distinguished team from the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, this book covers each of the major rheumatic disorders in a separate chapter. Each chapter begins with an introduction setting the scene, followed by an analysis of the past twelve months' peer-reviewed literature, discussing the most important papers individually, and then gathering the themes in a final conclusion, and putting all these new developments in clinical context. The reader can then can go straight to the key points raised by all the papers and see where modifications to practice may be necessary.
