Book Description
This is a "must have" reference book for patients, parents, caregivers, and libraries with medical collections. This sourcebook is organized into three parts. Part I explores basic techniques to researching osteoarthritis (e.g. finding guidelines on diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis), followed by a number of topics, including information on how to get in touch with organizations, associations, or other patient networks dedicated to osteoarthritis. It also gives you sources of information that can help you find a doctor in your local area specializing in treating osteoarthritis. Collectively, the material presented in Part I is a complete primer on basic research topics for patients with osteoarthritis. Part II moves on to advanced research dedicated to osteoarthritis. Part II is intended for those willing to invest many hours of hard work and study. It is here that we direct you to the latest scientific and applied research on osteoarthritis. When possible, contact names, links via the Internet, and summaries are provided. In general, every attempt is made to recommend "free-to-use" options. Part III provides appendices of useful background reading for all patients with osteoarthritis or related disorders. The appendices are dedicated to more pragmatic issues faced by many patients with osteoarthritis. Accessing materials via medical libraries may be the only option for some readers, so a guide is provided for finding local medical libraries which are open to the public. Part III, therefore, focuses on advice that goes beyond the biological and scientific issues facing patients with osteoarthritis. ... Read more

Good for older patients
Found the book to be perfect for my parents who are a bit shy of the internet. One was recently affected and wanted to start researching osteoarthritis, and this book put them in the right direction and made it easy. I would not recommend the book to someone who wants a basic understanding of the affliction (this is easy enough on search engines), but someone who want to know everything and know where to find it (trials, new inventions, etc.). It makes most sense to someone new to the disease and researching a medical topic.

Waste of money
This whole series of books is garbage.The information in the books is copied verbatim from health sites anyone can get for FREE on the internet.If you think it is bad when college students cut and paste information into their term papers, what do you think of cutting and pasting an entire book from the internet and then charging people a lot of money for it?I think it is a scam and the M.D. and Ph.D. who put their names on the cover should have their degrees revoked.

Don't waste your money on these books.You would be much better off going to a reliable health portal on the internet. ... Read more
