      Gout is now the most common form of inflammatory arthritis in the United States, with a recent resurgence of research interest in its cause and management. Calcium crystal-related arthritis has also attracted renewed attention, with new nomenclature having been recently elaborated, aiding contemporary research efforts. This topic has never been covered in Rheumatic Disease Clinics and it represents a large content hole. The articles will cover diagnosis, management, emerging therapies and imaging.

      By the time this issue of Gastroenterology Clinics of North America is released, it will have been 16 years since infliximab was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn disease. Not only have we come a long way in understanding the efficacy and safety of infliximab, we are beginning to understand how and when to use the drug. Furthermore, as of this writing, we have five other biologic agents approved for either Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis, and there are many more molecules currently in drug development for these indications. In this issue,the Editors have assembled a collection of experts to provide the most cutting-edge information on the status of biologic therapy for inflammatory bowel disease.

    • Uvéites : 49 questions cliniques

      L'uvéite, troisième cause de cécité évitable dans les pays développés, peut survenir à cause d'un traumatisme, d'une infection, d'une auto-immunité ou d'une affection tumorale. La prise en charge d'une uvéite reste un défi potentiellement difficile auquel sont confrontés de nombreux ophtalmologistes. La complexité des étiologies et le nombre de plus en plus important de stratégies thérapeutiques imposent une bonne appréhension de chaque situation clinique rencontrée. La présentation des différentes situations cliniques sous forme de questions courtes et pratiques contribue à l'originalité de ce livre. En effet, chaque spécialiste participant à l'ouvrage apporte des réponses précises et didactiques à des cas spécifiques tels que « Comment est-ce que je traite une uvéite chez une femme enceinte ou allaitante ? », « Quelles sont les étiologies à évoquer en priorité devant une uvéite aiguë hypertensive ? », « Comment est-ce que je traite un patient avec une toxoplasmose oculaire ? » Ce livre, coordonné par C. Stephen Foster, spécialiste de renommée mondiale dans ce domaine et auteur de plusieurs traités sur le sujet, est rendu d'autant plus efficace par le grand nombre d'illustrations (photographies, tableaux de synthèse) et d'autant plus convivial par le style qui rappelle des échanges entre confrères.
