Raynaudâ€henomenon: A Guide to Pathogenesis and Treatment comprehensively reviews the understanding of a disorder that continues to challenge primary care clinicians and specialists alike. In the last decade, there have been important advances not only in understanding the pathophysiology of Raynaudâ€henomenon (RP), but also in developing diagnostic methods and effective drug and non-drug therapies.Thoroughly discussing the various manifestations of RP, including childhood RP, RP secondary to connective tissue disease, and a variety of other associated disorders that include vascular perturbation that mimics RP, this title provides a wealth of new information available on normal and abnormal thermoregulation and helps physicians identify the best therapeutic approaches to treating RP.The work offers differential diagnosis options, reviews potential causes -- such as autoimmune disease, industrial trauma, drugs, and metabolic causes --Âd provides clear recommendations for therapy.ÂŮgaging readers with case vignettes and a plethora of visual aids, Raynaudâ€henomenon: A Guide to Pathogenesis and Treatment is a state-of-the-art, authoritative reference and invaluable contribution to the literature that will be of interest to physicians, patients, and individuals dealing with these disease processes.
