Advances in Clinical Rheumatology—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue entitled “Advances in Clinical Rheumatology—2nd Edition”. We published 12 papers in the first edition and are excited to continue this series. For more details, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/I87L4H1081. We will explore a range of pivotal topics at the forefront of our evolving understanding and treatment of rheumatic diseases.

The study of rheumatoid arthritis has led to novel therapeutic strategies and emerging concepts in pathogenesis, and we aim to investigate the unique clinical presentations and challenges in the management of peripheral spondylarthritis. Papers discussing interventional procedures, such as radiofrequency ablation and transcatheter arterial embolization, and those covering metabolic bone diseases, from osteoporosis to rarer disorders, are also welcome. With these objectives in mind, we will provide insights into new diagnostic modalities and therapeutic interventions for patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a perplexing and often debilitating condition.

Through this Special Issue, we will contribute to the dynamic and ever-advancing field of clinical rheumatology, and we are confident that it will inspire continued progress in our understanding and treatment of these challenging conditions.

Dr. Jacopo Ciaffi
Guest Editor
