Rheumatology Secrets 5th Edition — the question-and-answer rheumatology review, now with IgG4-related disease
Rheumatology Secrets, 5th edition, edited by Jason Kolfenbach and Sterling G. West and published by Elsevier, teaches the specialty the way a good attending quizzes you on rounds: one sharp question, one clear answer, then the pearl that makes it stick. This fully revised edition runs from basic immunology and pathophysiology to the manifestations and treatment of common and rare rheumatic disorders, adds a chapter on IgG4-related disease, and refreshes drug and technology coverage throughout. You receive it here as a true (publisher-quality) PDF.
