Recent reports indicate that the prevalence of sarcoidosis is rising and mortality in chronic sarcoidosis patients is increasing. With myriad clinical manifestations, and multi-system involvement, there is a need for all clinicians to have a working knowledge of the condition. This Monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent advances in sarcoidosis. Opening with chapters on history, epidemiology and pathobiology, it goes on to provide in-depth coverage of: specific organ manifestations and general diagnostic pathways; traditional as well as innovative treatment strategies; and, importantly, patient quality-of-life assessment. This book will be useful to clinicians around the world.
Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: A Guide for the Practicing Clinician is a valuable resource for clinicians of varied disciplines concerning the care of the sarcoidosis patient. Sarcoidosis is a multi-system disorder and represents a major challenge to physicians. Although any organ may be involved with sarcoidosis, the lung is the most common organ affected. Chapters are written by distinguished authors who have extensive experience in caring for these patients. Detailed figures and tables are provided to guide the practicing clinician through all aspects of the condition, from clinical manifestations to treatment options. Pulmonary Sarcoidosis: A Guide for the Practicing Clinician is fully comprehensive and evidence-based and will be an essential addition to the bookshelves of all whose practice involves the care and treatment of patients with sarcoidosis.
ARCH ANGELS a.k.a. BLOOD OF ANGELS "Robert Randisi is a master of the genre. He's one of the best." —Michael Connelly, Author of Chasing the Dime Young boys are being kidnapped in Chicago and turning up dead . . . strangled to death. Shockingly, the same thing is happening in St. Louis, but there the victims are young girls. Is it one killer seeking different victims in different cities, or could it be two killers at work with frighteningly similar methods? That's what Joe Keough and his partner, Harriet Conners, have to find out. Keough has been sent from Washington, D. C., as part of the federal Serial Killer Task Force to stop these murders and find the killer—or killers—before any more children are lost, or bodies found. It's been a while since he's been back in his hometown of St. Louis, but he's going to have to hit the ground running in this deadly race against time and at least one mad strangler. "A fine crime novel." —Booklist "Plenty of tension." —Publishers Weekly "A riveting, increasingly suspenseful plot. Recommended!" —Library Journal "Randisi is a masterful writer." —James W. Hall, Author of Blackwater Sound
