Osteoporosis by Gavin Clunie
Despite advances in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in the last ten years, the condition still poses major clinical challenges. Non-adherence to drug therapy is a widespread problem in patients with rheumatic diseases and osteoporosis in particular. Part of the Oxford Rheumatology Library, this second edition summarizes the latest developments in the management of osteoporosis and includes new chapters covering the clinical role of denosumab and orthopaedic issues in the management of fractures in patients with osteoporosis. This practical pocketbook is an essential resource for trainees and clinicians in rheumatology, endocrinology, and geriatric medicine, as well as general practitioners and paramedical staff involved in osteoporosis care.
This second edition has neatly described the newer imaging techniques in the assessment of osteoporosis as well as newer management options.. This will be helpful for anyone interested in a quick understanding of the basics of osteoporosis as well serving as an excellent tool for trainees and primary care physicians. * Doody's Notes *
Dr. Hakim qualified in Medicine at United Medical and Dental Schools (Guys Hospital campus) in 1993, with an additional intercalculated BSc in Biochemistry. He trained in Rheumatology in the North Thames Region, where he developed his interest in medical education. He took time out to complete an MD that studied the learning needs of GPs in the area of musculoskeletal disease. Gavin Clunie is a Consultant Rheumatologist at Ipswich Hospital. He trained in rheumatology in London and has a research background in musculoskeletal imaging and nuclear medicine techniques. He now has research and clinical interest in Spondylarthropathy conditions (ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis etc) and runs a bone density (DXA) scanning and mini-metabolic bone service in the hospital. Prior to medicine, Gavin was employed in tennis and had modest success as a professional and had taught widely in the USA and Australia notably. Further titles by this author can therefore be found in the 'self-help' sections of large book shops. After completing his specialist training, Dr. Haq joined BSMS in 2005 as Senior Lecturer in Medical Education and Rheumatology at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, a new medical school established in 2002. Dr Haq contributed to curriculum development and assessment strategy, and in 2008 became Director of Undergraduate Studies, with responsibility for the undergraduate BMBS degree programme. Dr Haq has just been appointed as Chair of Arthritis Research UK's Education Strategy Group, and in the past has served on several BSR committees and was national trainee representative.
