Product Description

In 1983 Graham Hughes described a syndrome in which the blood has a tendency to clot. Hughes syndrome is at the root of diverse conditions such as stroke, leg vein thrombosis and recurrent abortion.Hughes Syndrome addresses the complete range of features produced by this common disorder, which is also known as antiphospholipid syndrome. The condition can affect any organ, and is treated using commonly available drugs including low-dose aspirin and warfarin. This timely book fulfils the need for a cross-disciplinary clinical textbook and contains contributions from the leading international authorities.Hughes Syndrome should be read by anyone who might have a clinical or scientific interest in this condition: rheumatologists, haematologists, obstetricians and neurologists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not for the general reader, 2 Jun 2003

This review is from: Hughes Syndrome: Antiphospholipid Syndrome (Paperback)

As you might expect from a textbook, this book is highly informative for the medical specialist, but is likely to leave the casual reader (such as myself) behind. Don't get me wrong, there is a great deal of interesting information in this book, and it is well worth reading, but I do not recommend it to the general reader. Overall I thought that this is a good book, but I give it a very guarded recommendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not for the general reader, 26 May 2003

By Kurt A. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Hughes Syndrome: Antiphospholipid Syndrome (Paperback)

Not long ago, my wife was diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome, or antiphospholipid syndrome, and I set out to understand this condition. This book is a textbook that is highly technical in nature, and is not intended for the casual reader. It is composed of 45 chapters, organized into six sections: 1) clinical aspects, 2) laboratory investigation, 3) basic aspects, 4) therapy, 5) differential diagnosis, and 6) prognosis. Each of these chapters is written by a leading physician or researcher, or even by a team.
