Progress in PMR

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is the most common chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disorder in people aged 50 years or older. The annual incidence of the disease is increasing as western society ages, and thus, increased awareness and knowledge of this often-misunderstood disease is essential. Recent knowledge of PMR is summarized in the book, from deep science to everyday practice, from primary care to university clinics, in order to draw attention to this challenging elderly rheumatic disease. Progress in PMR is the first English-language monograph in the world to supply readers with all information in the progress of PMR, from the first case reports to the latest research. This book is recommended not only for experts in the field but all medical subspecialty physicians and professionals.
