This rare medical text from the late 20th century offers a fascinating glimpse into the early clinical use of diclofenac sodium, a groundbreaking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that revolutionized the treatment of rheumatic conditions and musculoskeletal injuries. Authored by the renowned medical illustrator Frank H. Netter, whose vivid anatomical drawings have educated generations of healthcare professionals, this volume features a collection of symposia proceedings that document the initial clinical trials and therapeutic applications of Voltaren (the brand name for diclofenac sodium).
Beyond its historical significance, this book is a testament to the pioneering spirit of medical research and the relentless pursuit of new treatments to alleviate human suffering. Netter’s exquisite illustrations, combined with the cutting-edge medical insights of the time, make this a highly prized acquisition for collectors of vintage medical literature, as well as a valuable resource for researchers and healthcare professionals interested in the evolution of rheumatology and orthopedic medicine.
