Rheumatology Essentials By Anand Malviya. 1st Edition 2025. Paperback.

Musculoskeletal complaints account for nearly a quarter of the
general clinical visits, yet medical training worldwide often lacks
essential guidance on diagnosing and triaging these conditions
effectively.

This introductory book empowers the physicians and the healthcare
providers with a simple yet powerful approach to classifying rheumatic
and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) into three key categories.

Mechanical-structural wear-and-tear managed by physical medicine, rehabilitation, or orthopedic specialists
‘Third pain’ (biopsychosocial pain without tissue damage) best addressed by pain management teams.
Systemic immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases requiring urgent rheumatologic care of a trained rheumatologist.
Relying
on the time-honored clinical history, physical examination, and a few
targeted tests, this streamlined approach enhances diagnostic accuracy,
reduces delays, and optimizes healthcare resources.

This book is a must-read for undergraduate and postgraduate
students in medicine, primary care physicians, general physicians and
frontline emergency-room physicians, empowering them in appropriately
handling and triaging patients with RMDs.
