In recent years, the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis has undergone tremendous changes due to methotrexate and biologics in large part. Until a decade ago, avoiding joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis was not realistic for rheumatologist. However, prevention of joint deterioration is now possible, and the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in long-term has been able to improve by advances in treatment. However, there are still many problems to be overcome before achieving the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. All of review articles presented on this book are explaining treatment, basic research, and patient care of rheumatoid arthritis with innovative perspective and ideas. I hope that the ideas that have been described in these articles help the reader to resolve the outstanding issues in rheumatoid arthritis.

Tremendous advances have been made in the field of rheumatology, profoundly changing our understanding of many rheumatologic conditions and creating a new frontier for effective treatments. This book explains the most significant advances in research and care and speculates as to what will be the future of rheumatology over the next several decades, including challenges and lessons learned from past experiences in the field. It highlights landmark research articles and scientific discoveries, discusses how big data, personalized medicine, new biomarkers for disease, and other technological revolutions will shape the future, making it a must-have resource for physicians from all regions of the world. Key Features • Includes concise yet thorough description of the landmark studies and scientific breakthroughs coupled with easy-to-follow organizational structure of chapters that are accessible to readers at different levels of training. • Brings together world-leading experts to provide a fresh perspective to trainees such as residents and fellows-in-training, as well as more senior clinicians and researchers across the field of rheumatology and in specialties such as cardiology, dermatology, pulmonology, nephrology, and neurology, all of whom care for patients with rheumatologic conditions. • Allows the authors to imagine and speculate about the evolution of the field of rheumatology in the coming decades. Examples of such speculative possibilities include use of synovial biopsy to predict response to treatment in rheumatoid arthritis, replacement of renal biopsy with urinary proteomics in diagnosing and classifying lupus nephritis, use of new therapeutics to obviate the need for steroids in the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis, and the use of machine learning to evaluate subtle changes in imaging for management of inflammatory arthritis.

Edited by Drs. Jack Cush and Kathryn Dao, this issue of Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America addresses one of the most significant issues facing the rheumatologist today––drug safety in a changing world where rheumatoid arthritis (RA) severity is less, patients are being identified and treated at a very early stage, and prevention is on the horizon. Topics covered include: communicating the risk of side effects, urate-lowering therapies, biphosphonates, biologics, malignancy risks, and administering therapies to patients with co-morbidities.

Rheumatology: Symptoms and Syndromes organizes the rheumatic diseases in the form of syndromes as stable combinations of symptoms, and links these to morphological manifestations. This presentation of the rheumatic diseases provides a pedagogical framework for differential diagnosis in rheumatology. To further aid the teacher and student, Professor Efim Benenson provides algorithms of clinical reasoning based on morphology and pathophysiology. Professor Benenson’s practice-oriented, didactic approach, and innovative organization of the rheumatic diseases is a valuable diagnostic aid to practicing rheumatologists and those teaching or training in rheumatology. Readers are recommended the companion book, Rheumatology: Clinical Scenarios, for further reading on Professor Benensons's organization of the rheumatic diseases.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease, which may result in severe disabilities and deformities if not diagnosed early and managed with adequate dose of DMARDs. The early diagnosis is often impaired by initial atypical presentations and its close mimic to other autoimmune rheumatic diseases. From the point of diagnosis to treatment of the disease, the practicing rheumatologist confronts various challenges. With an intention to address such challenges and to develop a quick reference guide for all clinicians, author started publishing the question and answer series on rheumatoid arthritis since 2012. The answers provided are substantiated by well-accepted guidelines, literature evidence and clinical experience. These answers can assist decision making in diverse clinical circumstances. Author has made a sincere attempt to make the complied volume more scenario-oriented.

User inclusion in innovation is increasingly the target of policy rhetoric at both organizational and societal levels. And extensive research has demonstrated the potential contribution that users can make, both at the 'front end' of innovation with their ideas and insights and downstream, facilitating adoption and diffusion. However, translating this potential into practice remains problematic, not least because we need to understand more about how to hear user voices, amplify their insights, and provide practical channels for inclusion to ensure full co-creation of innovation. Our earlier book from 2019 ('Responsible Innovation in Digital Health', Edward Elgar) added to the growing body of knowledge around whether users can be involved, and this book opens up the 'how?' theme. Our work suggested a spectrum of user involvement ranging from those who can participate fully to those who are passive players in the innovation process, and we explore in this book different tools, techniques, and mechanisms for enabling such users to become more involved in the innovation process. We look at the concept of 'boundary innovation spaces' as environments in which co-creation can be enabled, drawing on experience across a wide international research network. We also explore the broader innovation environment - the specific networks of actors and their interactions which define the innovation ecosystem where user inclusion may be embedded. This book moves the discussion beyond the question of whether users can be more effectively included throughout the innovation process to explore the ways in which this might be enabled.
