Rheumatology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatic diseases. There are more than hundred types of rheumatic diseases. Some of the common ones include osteoarthritis, tendinitis, capsulitis, palindromic rheumatism, Sjren syndrome, dermatomyositis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Rheumatic diseases can cause severe damage to essential organs including lungs, heart, nervous system, kidneys, skin and eyes. These diseases may even lead to difficulty in performing simple routine activities including bathing, dressing and walking. The intake of analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is considered to be effective in treating rheumatic diseases.

The study of such conditions and the development of therapeutic interventions for these disorders falls under the scope of rheumatology. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of rheumatology. Various advancements in this domain related to clinical principles and practice have been looked at in detail.
