B) Professor Jajić published an impressive number of scientific and professional books (monographs, textbooks, manuals), edited books and chapters in books in the field of rheumatology and physical medicine

Those were intended for undergraduate teaching and postgraduate studies at the School of Medicine, University of Zagreb,  and the continuing education of specialist doctors and subspecialists in the field of rheumatology, physical medicine, and other related professions, for which many generations of medical students, resident doctors, doctors in subspecialization, specialists and subspecialists, including today’s generations who use them, are immensely grateful.

The monograph Algodystrophic syndrome   is the debut in our literature. Algodystrophic syndrome is a complication of healing of traumatic, inflammatory or some other processes on the locomotor system and other unexplained etiological factors. Unlike other diseases, its definition is unusually complicated and difficult, and the nomenclature is not unique. The approach to such patients is therefore insufficient and polypragmatic. This was the reason for writing this monograph, which certainly fills a gap in domestic literature and will provide readers with numerous answers to questions related to this entity. It is recommended for physiatrists, rheumatologists, orthopedists, traumatologists, cardiologists, neurologists, occupational medicine doctors. It consists of 17 chapters, namely: definition, nomenclature, historical overview, epidemiology, etiology and pathogenesis, pathological anatomical picture and pathophysiological events, clinical picture, topographic forms of algodystrophic syndrome, radiological and laboratory findings and other diagnostics, differential diagnosis, treatment, clinical course and prognosis of algodystrophic syndrome. The textbook has a table of contents and an index, and behind each chapter there is the latest literature related to the text, which enables further expansion of knowledge. It is richly  documented and polished.  The work was reviewed by professor Krešimir Koržinek and professor Šime Mihatov.​
