Reumatologi

Denne bog er godt nyt for 1,5 millioner danskere, der hver dag står med valget: smerter eller medicin. Nemlig de 700.000 danskere, der plages af gigt, og de ca. 800.000, der døjer med skader i deres led. Bogen er Danmarks første anti-inflammatoriske manual til, hvordan man holder sine led velsmurte og smertefri med helt naturlige midler. Især nem og lækker mad, der virkelig kan mærkes i leddene. Bag bogen står kost- og livstilsvejleder Martin Kreutzer, der tidligere har skrevet to bestsellere om anti- inflammatorisk kost. I årenes løb har Martin hjulpet hundredvis af mennesker med gigtsygdomme, der udspringer af inflammation, dvs. en kronisk betændelsestilstand, der giver ømme og stive led. Han har også fået skadede atleter på alle ambitionsniveauer tilbage på sporet igen med anti-inflammatorisk kost i kraftige doser. Gigt påvirker hver anden 40-årig og stort set alle over 60 år. Skader kan ramme i alle aldre, men bliver sværere at få bugt med, når man kommer op i årene. Men ny forskning viser, at mange ledproblemer kan dæmpes og holdes i bero, hvis man spiser en række helt bestemte madvarer – og skruer ned for andre. Bogen giver klar besked om, hvilke madvarer der mest effektivt sikrer kroppens frie bevægelighed og gør det let for læseren at nå op på de rette doser med nemme madopskrifter, der har den helt perfekte sammensætning. Opskrifterne, der har større anti-inflammatorisk helingskraft end alle tidligere bøger om inflammation, er komponeret af Simon Weisdorf, mad- og sundhedsentusiasten bag det nye, succes-site cookingclub.dk, der når ud til flere hundrede tusind danskere. Bogen giver også gode råd om, hvordan man gavner leddene maksimalt med forskellige former for træning og ved at tage hånd om udfordringer som stress og søvn.

Den antiinflammatoriske kost har vist sit værd mod talrige livsstilssygdomme. Nu kommer den i en ny version, der sætter kurs mod hjernen. Hvordan giver man sin hjerne det optimale brændstof? Hvilke mad- og drikkevarer kan være udslagsgivende for, at man får energi, overskud, glæde og gode ideer og kan holde koncentrationen og huske – selv når man har lynende travlt og er under pres? Nøglen til at frigive hjernens positive kræfter og opbygge et solidt bolværk over for alt det negative som fx stress hedder i høj grad antiinflammatorisk kost, her i en ny og lidt anderledes version med ekstra fokus på særlige råvarer og måltidsstrategier, der specifikt påvirker hjernen. Stadig flere mennesker rammes af sygdomme som stress, depression og demens, og der forskes i disse år intenst på området. Hvordan man bedst muligt forebygger disse sygdomme og omsætter den nyeste viden på området til helt almindelig hverdagsmad, er omdrejningspunktet i denne nye bog fra Martin Kreutzer og Simon Weisdorf, der er en opfølger til sidste års bestseller Velsmurt. Heldigvis behøver man ikke gå på jagt efter sjældne råvarer og ingredienser for at booste sin mentale sundhed. Langt de fleste hjernevenlige madvarer kan fås i et helt almindeligt supermarked. Bogen gennemgår de koststrategier og næringsstoffer, som forskerne anser for særlig vigtige i forhold til hjernen og er en lettilgængelig guide til de antiinflammatoriske kostprincipper. 68 fristende opskrifter, der rummer de rette mængder af alt det, en sund hjerne kan drømme om, gør det ekstra nemt at kaste sig ud i den sunde, hjernestyrkende kost.

Makkerparret bag flere bestsellere om anti-inflammatorisk kost viser i deres nye bog vejen til, hvordan man én gang for alle kan opnå et vægttab og svælge i lækker mad.Den anti-inflammatoriske kost er med god grund berømmet for sine mange gode virkninger mod en lang række helbredsproblemer, f.eks. gigtsmerter, overbelastningsskader og hjerte-kar-syg[1]domme. Kombinationen af fede fisk, planteolier, nødder, grøntsager, frugt og andre råvarer går i et nærmest magisk samspil ind og understøtter kroppens immunforsvar og dæmper den tilstand af kronisk inflammation, som kan få mange skavanker til at blusse op.Derimod vil det være nyt for mange, at den anti-inflammatoriske kost også har et andet vigtigt potentiale: Den kan reducere ens fedtdepoter på sundeste vis. Især hvis man har et livmål i den høje ende, kan der ligge en kæmpestor anti-inflammatorisk gevinst i at smide nogle kilo, da mavefedt fungerer som en rugekasse for inflammation, der kan sprede sig til resten af kroppen.Tab sig sundere med anti-inflammatorisk kost forklarer, hvordan man får fuld glæde af de gode madvarers slankende egenskaber – uden at give køb på sundhed, mæthed og ikke mindst velsmag. Som læser bliver man klædt godt på til projektet med nogle få, vigtige retningslinjer for, hvordan måltiderne skal skrues sammen, et forslag til en kostplan – og 55 lækre opskrifter, der ikke bare giver anti-inflammatoriske superkræfter, men også en god og langvarig mæthed mellem måltiderne.Bogen indeholder desuden en udførlig guide til, hvordan man kan skrue endnu mere op for vægttabet og den anti-inflammatoriske virkning i kroppen ved at dyrke motion, ikke mindst ved at gå.

Hver dag vokser vores viden om, hvordan vi ved at spise naturens kraftfulde råvarer kan blive sundere og stærkere og beskytte os mod de mange livsstilsstilssygdomme, som udspringer af inflammation i kroppen. Derfor er der brug for en ny, opdateret grundbog om, hvordan man målrettet kan få glæde af den nyeste viden og lykkes med antiinflammatorisk kost.Den nye bog har også en anden vigtig mission: I de senere år er der opstået et hav af myter og misforståelser om, hvad man kan spise og ikke spise på en antiinflammatorisk kost. Resultatet er, at mange mennesker begynder at spise unødvendigt restriktivt og forsage råvarer, som kunne gavne dem – eller opgiver. Bogen rydder grundigt op i myterne med en enkel koststrategi, som gør det let og lystbetonet at leve efter antiinflammatorisk – år efter år.Bogens 77 opskrifter sprudler af både velsmag og antiinflammatorisk styrke. Råvarerne kan fås i helt almindelige supermarkeder, og retterne er så lette at tilberede, at alle kan være med.

This book presents paraproteinemia and the highly complex scientific information behind it to clinicians in a way they can understand and, ultimately, apply to their diagnostic and treatment practices. Paraproteinemia or dysproteinemia is characterized by the overproduction of an immunoglobulin by clonal expansion of cells from the B cells lineage which includes the plasma cells. The resultant monoclonal protein can be composed of the entire immunoglobulin or of its components. The identification and categorization of the different representatives of this group of disorders have traveled a long distance, but despite its high prevalence there is surprisingly limited evidence, in some areas, to guide the best clinical practice both at the time of diagnosis and during follow up. This book seeks to fill that gap.  The book is divided into three sections, introductory chapters, disease entities and experimental therapies. The text guides clinicians through these diseases and disorders. The group of renal diseases attributed to deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins or their components are arranged as one disease category in order to simplify the understanding of these complicated diseases in plasma cell dysplasia. In emulation of this practical approach, at a larger scale, the volume editors and chapter authors attempt to encompass the whole spectrum of the paraproteinemias in this text. This will have the dual benefit of offering the audience a panoramic view of this group of disorders and simultaneously keeping them focused on its individual representatives. There have been many recent advances in diagnosis, risk stratifications, and management of many members of this group of diseases and they are explored in depth here.  This is an ideal guide for rheumatologists, hematologists, nephrologists, immunologists, oncologists, and relevant trainees caring for patients with paraproteinemia and related disorders.

This autobiography chronicles the life and career of Haralampos M. Moutsopoulos, an internationally renowned professor of medicine and prolific researcher on Sjogren's syndrome and autoimmune rheumatic diseases. In language that is simple and direct, he takes us on a fascinating journey from the days of his first scientific awakenings at a hospital in his native town of Ioannina, Greece, through his university years in Athens and training in the U.S., to his eventual return to his homeland. In Greece, he developed two centers of excellence in his field, first at the newly founded University of Ioannina Medical School Department of Internal Medicine and, second, at the Athens University Medical School, Department of Pathophysiology, where he taught until his retirement in 2011. Along the way, he introduces us to his teachers and mentors, and to the colleagues and students he mentored in turn, many of whom went on to assume high-ranking positions in Greece and abroad. A major theme throughout the book is his impassioned struggle for excellence, meritocracy, and transparency in universities and in the National Health System in Greece. Peppered with both amusing and unsettling incidents from this lifelong crusade to raise professional standards and against misconduct, the book is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about or entering the medical profession.

This book is an in depth guide to chronic and neuropathic pain. The issue of chronic and neuropathic pain is very prevalent, yet only a fraction of the symptoms and root causes, as well as potential treatment plans, are properly understood. Additionally, less than half of cases are accurately identified and properly treated. The existing drugs, although classified as very strong and powerful, cannot provide lasting relief to chronic and neuropathic pain. Thus, with all the unique features of this condition, this book presents a systematic way of diagnosing and approaching this condition so every practitioner can appropriately treat their patients. In addition to introducing key concepts, like classification of chronic pain and the challenges patients and practitioners face when dealing with and treating chronic and neuropathic pain, this book also covers different syndromes that can lead to neuropathic pains. It discusses how to monitor progress by using outcome measures, the presence of chronic and neuropathic pain in children and young adults, and the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain as it relates to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Interestingly, the latter is not presently addressed except with the usual pain drugs for general pain-this book aims to revolutionize the approach to chronic and neuropathic pain by exploring it separately from the clinical approach to general pain. It is interesting to note that these cytokines require a specific mode of action if we want to neutralize them in our system, and this concept will be discussed in the regenerative intervention sections. Since it is so necessary to address the many factors to chronic and neuropathic pain as laid out in the proposed table of contents, it is also critical include as varied authors as possible to address this condition from all areas being covered. The team assembled to author the chapters included in this text come from diverse backgrounds of practice and clinical and research interests, from physical medicine and rehabilitation to anesthesiology to radiology and interventional pain medicine. This is an ideal guide for all clinicians caring for patients with chronic and neuropathic pain.

This book evaluates muscle and nerve biopsies. It creates a more analytical view of neuromuscular diseases in the light of clinical findings. Diseases that occur mostly in muscle or nerve tissue may show common clinical findings. Addressing these two issues together will make it easier to understand the diseases. Neuromuscular diseases, normal histology, embryology, and physiopathology of muscles and nerves are discussed with a main focus on differential diagnosis. The book also presents the most cost-effective and easiest-to-follow algorithms for the differential diagnosis of diseases.

The book examines recent developments in regenerative medicine and the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound. Musculoskeletal regeneration has become a prominent research topic, no doubt due to the sociological and economic pressures imposed by the current ageing population. The ever expanding role of regenerative medicine and the identification as well as characterization of stem cells have introduced a major paradigm shift in the field of musculoskeletal and sports medicine as well as orthopaedic surgery. Whereas in the past, diseased tissue was replaced with allograft material, current trends in research revolve around regenerating damaged tissue.Specifically, regenerative medicine stands in contrast to the standard treatment modalities which impair the body's natural abilities to facilitate endogenous repair mechanisms such as anti-inflammatory drugs; or destructive modalities (e.g., radiotherapy, nerve ablation, injections of botulinum toxin) and surgical interventions that permanently alter the functioning of a joint, bone or spine. When compared to other allopathic options (including knee and hip arthroplasty with a 90-day mortality rate of 0.7%), regenerative medicine treatment modalities have a lower incidence of adverse events with a growing body of statistically significant medical literature illustrating both their safety and efficacy. Focusing on the major values of regenerative medicine, this book with its 21 chapters is expected to fill an important void in the current literature. It will take that extra step to guide you in your day to day clinical practice. Featuring contributions from a large international group of leaders in regenerative medicine and musculoskeletal ultrasonography, this book is an authoritative reference for rheumatologists, physiatrists, sonographers, radiologists, physiotherapists and orthopaedic specialists.

This volume on Rarer Arthropathies, part of the series "e;Rare Diseases of the Immune System"e; aims to fill a gap in the literature by informing and updating clinicians on the unusual and uncommon forms of arthritis and related musculoskeletal conditions. It will be a valuable go-to resource for clinicians to support them in differential diagnosis, in particular when facing unusual presentations. Nineteen chapters written by experts have covered a wide range of these conditions, providing first rate information on topics yet lacking adequate coverage; from Palindromic Rheumatism to SAPHO Syndrome and other chronic immune-mediated conditions, while also including arthritis in leprosy, tuberculosis and chikungunya.Smaller, crisp paragraphs and apt subheadings will help the readers in easily understanding the up to date information provided in the chapters. Line diagrams, original full-color clinical photographs and informative tables also support easy assimilation of information, turning this book in a useful ready reckoner on the desks and smartphones. All specialists, including rheumatologists, orthopedic surgeons, pediatricians, physicians practicing internal medicine and rehabilitation medicine will find this volume invaluable in   their daily clinical work. 

This book is an entirely revised second edition of "Imaging of the Knee", published in 2003, and provides an up-to-date comprehensive review of imaging and pathologies of the knee. In the first part of the book, the various techniques employed when imaging the knee are discussed in detail. Individual chapters are devoted to radiography, arthrography, computed tomography and CT arthrography, magnetic resonance imaging and MR arthrography, and ultrasonography. The second part then documents the application of these techniques to the diverse clinical problems and diseases encountered in the knee. Among the many topics addressed are congenital and developmental abnormalities, trauma, meniscal pathology, the cruciate and collateral ligaments, the postoperative knee, infection, arthritis, osteochondritis, osteonecrosis and tumors. Each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field, and a wealth of illustrative material is included. This book will be of great value to radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons.

In this book recognized world-renowned expert authors expose the state of the art on musculoskeletal ultrasound elastography.Low cost, wide dissemination and accuracy in the evaluation of the musculoskeletal structures, nerves, periosseous soft parts, vascular structures, together with the possibility of performing real time dynamic studies, made the ultrasound technique widely spread among sonographers and musculoskeletal radiologists.Each chapter presents a description of the elastographic semiotics of the main pathologies of the musculoskeletal system and soft tissue, images that represent both routine and more complex clinical cases in a practical and schematic way and summary tables on the characteristics in terms of elasticity found in the main pathologies.A wealth of color images as well as dynamic images and tables complete the book, that will be a useful tool for sonographers , radiologists, orthopedists, sports medicine specialists wishing to expand their knowledge on ultrasound elastography.
