Product Description
Behçet’s Syndrome has seen great strides over the last two decades in the availability of new treatments and the understanding of underlying pathogenesis. Only 30 years ago the majority of particularly young men with Behçet’s lost total eye sight, now only a minority do. This book covers the most recent developments in the basic and clinical aspects of Behçet’s Syndrome. International authorities have collaborated to offer their diverse expert knowledge on the multiple affected organs and systems, including the skin, the eye, the brain,the lungs and not the least the gastrointestinal and the locomotor systems. A special chapter is devoted to juvenile disease. The definitive resource on Behçet’s Syndrome, this book is well suited for rheumatologists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, neurologists, and health professionals caring for Behçet’s patients. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Pictures worth a thousand words
This book has the best collection of Behcet's-related pictures (skin lesions, etc) that you'll find in one place. If you've wondered what a pathergy reaction looks like, for example, or erythema nodosum, this book is an excellent resource. Warning -- if you're a BD patient AND a parent (and you can afford this book in the first place), it's not something to leave lying around the house for your kids to find: some pictures are horrific and might even give *adults* nightmares. If you're a doctor, this book will give you a basic overview of Behcet's -- but there's more detailed info on clinical research and outcomes in the "Contemporary Synopsis on Behcet's" (for info up to 1989) and the "Essential Guide to Behcet's" (for info up till 2002).

5-0 out of 5 stars If you have Behcet's Disease, take this book to your doctor!
This book is aimed at physicians treating people with Behcet's Disease, a rare autoimmune vasculitis.I think its best features are the many pages of close-up color photos of what Behcet's Disease can do to your body and skin.Take this book to your doctor(s) if a diagnosis of Behcet's Disease is being considered!It's expensive, but you simply can't get this type of resource elsewhere. ...

Product Description
The above mentioned conference was hosted in Paris, following on from the Mayo Clinic. Behçet's disease remains mysterious, despite the increasing interest of researchers, reflected in the 200 communications selected for this publication. Numerous previously held beliefs about the disease are disputed or contradicted, following on from the conference. For example, the disease was previously described as a disease limited to the Mediterranean basin, whereas it is in fact omnipresent, as is demonstrated by papers from more than 20 countries across the globe. Described as being seven times more likely to affect men, in fact the disease afflicts women more often in epidemiological surveys and takes a more minor form. Behçet's disease can begin in childhood, even though it was believed to be a disease of young adults. In spite of the absence of biologic or histologic markers, Behçet's disease has international classification cri ... Read more

Product Description
Behçet's Disease (BD) is one of the most-studied systemic disorders characterized by an occlusive vasculopathy of multiple organs. The etiology and pathogenesis of BD are still unclear, but there is evidence for genetic, immunologic and infectious factors in the onset and throughout the course of the disease. Immunology of Behçet's Disease highlights various aspects of BD. After an epidemiological overview, the clinical presentation of ocular and non-ocular symptoms of BD are summarized. The immunopathological changes reflect a chronic vasculitis of arterioles, venules and capillaries. The role of T-cells, but also of NK-T-cells, secreted cytokines and neutrophils is covered. For years microorganisms have been under investigation as initiating BD and, in particular, immune reactions against various microbial heat shock proteins could be an important etiological factor. It has been shown that the pathogenic gene involved in the development of BD is pinpointed to HLA-B51. Finally, the treatment of BD is discussed in detail, including new options like anti-TNF-alpha-antibodies and interferon-alpha. Immunology of Behçet's Disease summarizes our knowledge regarding the most important factors that induce or trigger BD and will stimulate research in the field and help to initiate new ideas. ...

There are also other leads available at the American Behcet's Disease Association's website. So please don't throw your money out the window for this free information available at your finger tips.

1-0 out of 5 stars PLEASE don't waste your money on this CD set!!!
It's rare that a Behcet's resource has made me this angry (unless you consider my review of The Official Patient's Sourcebook on Behcet's Disease: A Revised and Updated Directory for the Internet Age by Icon Health Publications.)

What do you get for your $25? One CD that's supposedly filled with Behcet's-related information, and a second CD with the company's "Medical Encyclopedia." Let's look at the BD-related CD first. It contains 4 main files:

1) "Behcet Syndrome": This section is 244 pages long, which sounds great until you take a closer look. Less than 10 of these pages include direct information on Behcet's. Most of the pages are screenshots: lists of links to websites found by searching the government's MedlinePlus dot gov database. And many of the links lead to info for vasculitic diseases that are NOT Behcet's. What's in the other 234 pages of this section? There are 175 pages of screen shots of clinical trials, directly pulled from the clinicaltrials dot gov database. Only FOUR out of the 38 clinical trials that are listed directly relate to Behcet's. The remainder of the listed clinical trials are for "vasculitis" studies, and these studies weren't screened in advance before being dumped into this document. What else explains including studies where the "Exclusion Criteria" for the study is "Behcet's Disease"? (i.e., if you have Behcet's, you CAN'T join this clinical trial).

What's in the other 50 or so pages of this section? More than a few blank screen shots, and screen shots of pages from other U.S. government health-related websites (primarily NINDS).

2) The second section of this CD is a 75-page "Guide to Leading Medical Websites." Each page is a screen shot of the home pages of different health-related sites: WebMD, MedlinePlus, etc.

3) The third section is 3405 pages directly pulled from the NIAMS website (the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases). It includes all of the NIAMS health booklets that are already free to the public online -- including NIAMS' free PDF, "Questions and Answers about Behcet's Disease." Go to NIAMS dot NIH dot gov and search for this booklet yourself.

4) The fourth section is an unbelievable waste of disc space for this product's intended audience: patients looking for BD info. It's 13,635 pages directly pulled from the NIGMS website (National Institute of General Medical Sciences). Out of morbid curiosity, I did a search on "Behcet's" in this section. No surprise -- Behcet's isn't mentioned once on any of the pages.

What about the second CD? (The "Medical Encyclopedia")
Once again, there's a whole CD filled with screen shots from government websites: specifically from the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I'm not saying that info from these sites isn't valuable (it is), but you can get all of it yourself, for free, by going to these websites yourself.

I'm amazed that PM Medical Health News (who put this set together) says that this product is meant for patients, physicians, and nurses. Smart patients will stay away from this CD (and its sister product, "The Empowered Patient's Complete Reference: Behcet's Syndrome," which I don't expect to be any better than this one). And physicians and nurses have absolutely no need for the "Ultimate Medical Guide to Behcet's Syndrome." They already know how to find all of this information on their own.

One last comment -- Click on the "Author" link at the top of the page (PM Medical Health News). You'll be brought to 950+ very similar CDs created by this publisher, on a huge variety of health issues and diseases. I'm guessing that all of these CDs are almost identical. Like Icon Health Publications, PM Medical Health News has figured out how to capitalize on desperate patients who are looking for information on their rare illness.

I'm only giving a single star because there's no option for "zero" stars.

1-0 out of 5 stars Think twice before buying this Behcet's "resource"
I recently purchased and reviewed the "sister" CD to this product (the "21st Century Ultimate Medical Guide to Behcet's Syndrome - Authoritative Clinical Information for Physicians and Patients (Two CD-ROM Set). Unfortunately "The Empowered Patient's Complete Reference to Behcet's Syndrome" has been created by the same group as the Ultimate Medical Guide (i.e. PM Medical Health News, also listed under "Progressive Management"). By following the publisher's links, you can see that PM Medical Health News is selling more than 950 CDs on OTHER illnesses and diseases, too.

According to the publisher, "Our CD-ROMs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents." In other words, they're selling a collection of nothing more than SCREEN SHOTS of information that's readily available for free on government websites. From what I've seen on their other Behcet's CDs, they include very little information that's directly related to BD.

Please take a couple of minutes to read my other review (follow the link in my first paragraph above), and think twice before giving $25 of your hard-earned money to this group. There are better Behcet's resources out there, and this isn't one of them. ... Read more
