The field of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases is known as rheumatology. It is often termed as the study and practice of medical immunology. Rheumatologists deal with diseases related to the soft tissues, musculoskeletal system, heritable connective tissue disorders, vasculitides and autoimmune diseases. Some common rheumatic diseases are osteoarthritis, tendinitis, capsulitis, palindromic rheumatism, Sjögren syndrome, dermatomyositis and systemic lupus erythematosus. The intake of analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are considered to be effective in treating rheumatic diseases. Surgical methods to treat such diseases include synovectomies and corrective interventions. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of rheumatology. The various advancements in this domain are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. This book includes contributions of experts and doctors, which will provide innovative insights into rheumatology.
