Skeletal muscle is one of the three major muscle tissues found in humans. It is made up of thousands of muscle fibers encased by connective tissue sheaths. It is present throughout the body and responds to stimuli by contracting. It serves many functions including maintenance of body position and posture, joint stabilization, storage of nutrients, production of movement and regulation of body temperature. Insufficient dietary protein can cause muscle damage through a variety of mechanisms. Furthermore, intense training can lead to skeletal muscle breakdown which can be worsened by a lack of protein in the diet. Insufficient hydration can reduce blood flow to working muscles that makes them more vulnerable to injury. This book explores all the important aspects of skeletal muscle physiology in the present day scenario. It also provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of the role of nutrition. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the joints on both sides of the body. Some of its common symptoms are tenderness, pain and swelling in more than one joint, stiffness, weakness, fatigue and fever. There is no specific cause of rheumatoid arthritis, but factors like emotional or physical stress, smoking and infection may result in the immune system attacking the joints. The diagnosis includes physical exam based on symptoms and medical history. Blood tests like erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), along with imaging tests such as X-rays, ultrasounds and MRI scans are used to diagnose RA. Its treatment aims to prevent or improve joint function and damage. There are several medications like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), COX-2 inhibitors, corticosteroids and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) that help to relieve the symptoms of RA. Treatment of severe RA includes surgeries, like synovectomy and total joint replacement to correct the deformity. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about rheumatoid arthritis. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for clinicians and medical students.

Skeletal muscles are organs of the vertebrate muscular system that are commonly connected to bones of the skeleton by tendons. They are present throughout the body and respond to stimuli by contracting. They are also found in the eye socket, tongue, upper esophagus and diaphragm. Skeletal muscles have a variety of functions, such as maintaining the position and posture of the body, nutrient storage, generating movement, joint stabilization, and regulating body temperature. These muscles comprise muscle and nerve fibers, connective tissue and blood vessels, which allow humans to move and carry out daily tasks. Additionally, they are also critical for breathing mechanics. The dysfunction in skeletal muscles can cause a variety of medical diseases ranging from dysphagia to tremors, myopathies, weakness, tendon ruptures, ataxia, etc. This book explores the recent studies on skeletal muscle physiology. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Psoriasis is a non-communicable and chronic autoimmune disease. It is characterized by red, itchy scaly patches mostly on the knees, elbows, back and scalp. There are five main forms of psoriasis. It includes plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, and erythrodermic psoriasis. It is a genetic disease, which is stimulated by environmental factors.

It leads to several complications such as conjunctivitis, metabolic syndrome, Crohn's disease, Parkinson's disease, etc. Diagnosis varies according to the appearance of the skin. It includes differential diagnosis and in certain cases a skin biopsy. Psoriatic arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis which affects people who have psoriasis. The most common treatments for mild to moderate psoriasis include topical treatments (application of creams or ointments), phototherapy, and systemic treatment (oral and injected medications). Treatment of psoriatic arthritis involves biological therapies, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroid injections.

Multiple factors such as age, genetic history, muscle weakness and autoimmune disorders can lead to the development of arthritis. There are several diagnostic tests for this medical condition that include physical examination, blood tests, X-ray, MRI, and CT scans. The objective of treatment is to provide effective relief from symptoms and control further joint damage. Some common treatments are medications, physical therapy, nutrient rich diet, occupational therapy, regular exercise, and hot and cold compresses. The aim of this book is to present new insights into arthritis research. It is a vital tool for all researching or studying this medical condition.

Hip replacement, also known as hip arthroplasty, is a surgery in which a prosthetic implant, often known as a hip prosthesis, replaces the hip joint. A whole hip replacement or hemi (half) replacements are two options for hip replacement surgery. Total hip replacement surgery may be prescribed in cases of joint failure caused by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, traumatic arthritis, protrusio acetabuli, certain hip fractures, benign and malignant bone tumors, etc. Knee replacement or knee arthroplasty, is a surgical method that replaces the weight-bearing surfaces of the knee joint to reduce pain and impairment. This type of surgery is mostly recommended when conservative measures fail to relieve joint discomfort, as well as for other knee disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Infections, blood clot, a fracture during or after surgery, nerve damage, and continued pain or stiffness are some possible complications associated with hip and knee replacement surgery. This book consists of contributions made by international experts. There has been rapid progress in this area of orthopedic surgery. Doctors and students actively engaged in hip and knee arthroplasty will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.

A tissue refers to a distinct material comprising of special cells, which work together in coordination to carry out a particular function. There are four types of tissues, namely, connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue. Connective tissue diseases are a set of medical conditions in which the connective tissues of the body are the primary target of pathology. There are several types of connective tissue diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, marfan syndrome, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and microscopic polyangiitis. The signs and symptoms of these diseases include weakness, fatigue and fever. Some of the major epithelial tissue diseases and conditions include celiac disease, asthma, human papilloma virus (HPV), vertigo, and certain types of cancer. Medications, vitamin supplements and physical therapy can be used to treat these diseases. This book aims to understand the clinical perspectives of tissue diseases. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book is a vital tool for all researching and studying these diseases.
