A huge number of therapeutic studies has been published in rheumatology
and clinical immunology. This number grows substantially by the year.
As such, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of this
multitude of studies and the ensuing therapeutic trends. Further to
this, a particular study can be referred to in a variety of ways, either
as a shortened version of the title or an acronym, adding to the
confusion. The book Clinical Trials in Rheumatology provides a summary
of the important studies in the field for easy reference. Every study is
shown with name, acronym (if in existence), authors, complete citation,
study design, results, and summary. An acronym finder is supplied at
the beginning of the book. This book is a valuable reference tool for
rheumatologists and other clinical specialties, as well as for research
scientists interested in immunomodulatory and selected other drug
therapies in rheumatologic diseases.
