Hardening of the skin is one of the most visible manifestations of the disease. It’s estimated that about 300,000 Americans have scleroderma. About one third of those people have the systemic form of scleroderma. Since scleroderma presents with symptoms similar to other autoimmune diseases, diagnosis is difficult.

  • Vitamin D, An Issue of Rheumatic Disease Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 38-1
    • Sol Epstein
    • English
    This issue features internationally renowned experts who have provided their expertise on a variety of topics related to the importance of vitamin D. It was not until feed back loops were identified between Vitamin D production and parathyroid hormone, phosphate that it earned its place as a true endocrine hormone. Current social and economic conditions have brought it back into the limelight with outbreaks of rickets and osteomalacia even in developed countries. However its complex regulation, together with the identification and characterization of the vitamin D receptor and its role in influencing multiple genetic pathways and function has heralded a new era highlighting its importance in health and disease. This includes its role in auto immune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus, cancer especially breast and prostate, skin, neurological and cognitive disorders and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. We now know that adequate levels of vitamin D it is important in preventing falls and fracture. The need for supplementation and the amount recommended has also changed considerably from what we previously considered sufficient. The ongoing development of selective active analogs of vitamin D targeted to specific organs and function leads to the exciting possibility of improving outcomes of diseases associated with vitamin D regulation.

    • French
    Les syndromes douloureux atypiques peuvent être rencontrés dans l'exercice quotidien de chaque praticien, car tous les appareils peuvent être concernés. Souvent mal connus et de diagnostic retardé, ils sont alors à l'origine d'une multiplication de consultations et d'examens dont une grande partie peut s'avérer inutile. Dans cette 2e édition, l'auteur, anesthésiste et spécialiste de la douleur, a répertorié 30 nouveaux syndromes et largement enrichi l'iconographie. Outre les dessins très explicites, plus de 100 clichés radiographiques, coupes de scanner et d'IRM viennent améliorer la compréhension de la genèse du syndrome douloureux et souligner l'importance de l'imagerie pour les diagnostics différentiels. La description clinique, claire et détaillée, s'appuie sur une iconographie très parlante qui évoque immédiatement au lecteur le type de tableau douloureux. Ce guide permettra d'identifier clairement des plaintes restées jusque-là sans explication satisfaisante et sera d'une grande aide au quotidien de chaque praticien, en médecine interne ou de spécialité. Chaque syndrome est présenté selon un schéma-type très didactique, qui facilite la consultation : - signes et symptômes ; - examens complémentaires ; - diagnostics différentiels ; - traitement ; - complications et pièges à éviter ; - conseils cliniques.
