Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Basic, Applied and Clinical Aspects has been an essential resource for scientists and clinicians in this field since its original publication in 2015. The third edition of this work has been completely updated and expanded with the latest scientific and clinical developments in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) to date. Contributors at the forefront of each topic come together to enhance content on epidemiology and diagnosis, pathogenesis, mechanisms of tissue damage, clinical aspects of the disease, antiphospholipid syndrome, and treatments. Also added is the latest information on new treatments, criteria, monogenic forms of lupus, insights on the role of microbiome, and advances in understanding disease pathogenesis. This must-have reference is an indispensable resource for specialists in the diagnosis and management of patients with SLE as well as early career or experienced investigators studying basic aspects of the disease. It is a tool for measurement of clinical activity for pharmaceutical development and basic research of the disease, and a key reference work for hospital libraries.

**Selected for 2025 Doody's Core Titles® with "Essential Purchase" designation in Allergy/Clinical Immunology**The Rose-Mackay Textbook of Autoimmune Diseases, Seventh Edition is a comprehensive reference that emphasizes the "3 P's" of 21st Century medicine: precision, prediction, and prevention. Topics cover the modern systems approach to biology that involves large amounts of personalized, ongoing physiologic data ("omics") coupled with advanced methods of analysis, new tests of genetic engineering, such as CRISPR, auto inflammatory diseases, autoimmune responses to tumor immunotherapy, and information on normal immune response and disorders. Each of the major autoimmune disorders is discussed by researchers and clinical investigators experienced in dealing with patients.This new edition continues its success with 75% of the content revised, updated, or completely new. This edition is a valuable resource to clinicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune disease, as well as to scientists who want to follow developments in the field. - Provides new research on autoimmune diseases, their diagnosis, prevention, and therapy - Covers a complete range of all common, rare and new autoimmune diseases, including cancer and COVID - Extensively revised with 75% new material based on autoimmunity, developments in the different diagnosis and therapies for these autoimmune diseases, and a completely updated description of the different diseases - Supplemented with a website that hosts a Podcast per chapter

The Rose and Mackay Textbook of Autoimmune Diseases

Complement protein expression and activation control central aspects of the normal B cell response. Imbalances in these processes invariably lead to autoimmune disease. Complement activation causes tissue damage in a number of ways and may by itself lead to autoimmune disease. Although the use of complement activation inhibitors in the treatment of complement-mediated tissue injury and disease is largely in pre-clinical trials, the expectations that they will be of significant clinical value are high. This volume contains a series of review articles that address the role of complement in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease and the ensuing tissue damage. Topics include structural and functional aspects of the CD19/CD21/CD81 complex, role of the complement system in the expression of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Also featured is the role of complement activation in ischemia/reperfusion and autoimmune disease injury. Finally, indepth reviews about complement activation in the development of glomerulonephritis in autoimmune disease and the function of membranebound complement regulatory proteins in autoimmunity are presented. Students as well as basic and clinical researchers in immunology who wish to understand the role of complement in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease will value this comprehensive and up-to-date publication.

This new companion to Hochberg et al.'s Rheumatology masterwork provides new insights into the causes, detection and therapy of this challenging disease. In this state-of-the-art resource, you'll find 'one stop' coverage of all the latest scientific and clinical developments in SLE: new concepts in epidemiology, disease activity measures and outcomes; new concepts in immunoregulation, genetic and pathogenic mechanisms; new understanding and novel presentation of the processes of tissue/organ damage; comprehensive coverage of clinical features; and the very latest concepts in treatment. Provides the very latest understanding of the pathogenesis of SLE. Distills current understanding of the cellular, molecular, genetic and environmental factors that instigate and drive the disease. Includes comprehensive coverage of clinical features, including fatigue, organ system manifestations, overlap syndromes, infections, and more. Conveys the very latest understanding of mechanisms of tissue damage, including immune complexes, antibodies, and other mechanisms that lead to organ damage. Contains expert discussion of processes that are responsible for tissue injury - a hallmark of this text. Incorporates the latest treatment modalities, including steroids and non-steroidals, cytotoxic drug treatment, PAP's, and therapies on the horizon. Discusses the latest treatment options on disease modifying or disease controlling agents.
