Verbrennungen kommen haufig vor, meist als Folge eines Unfalls. Manche Wunden heilen spontan, andere mussen in einem Brandverletzten-Zentrum versorgt werden. Dieses Kompendium bietet einen schnellen Uberblick uber den aktuellen Wissensstand zur Diagnose und Therapie von Verbrennungen. Erstversorgung, Flachen- und Tiefenbestimmung, chirurgische Versorgung, Haut und Hautersatz sind nur eine kleine Auswahl der behandelten Themen. Das Buch richtet sich an alle Berufsgruppen, die Verbrennungen behandeln, ob als Notarzt, Chirurg oder Pflegekraft.
La consapevolezza che l atopia sia l espressione di una piu facile suscettibilita della cute e delle mucose (oculari, respiratorie, digestive) agli agenti esterni in senso lato, porta alla logica conseguenza che i professionisti della salute che se ne debbano occupare siano vari e necessariamente coordinati. La nozione di atopia allarga il concetto tradizionale di allergia, perche in molti pazienti atopici non sono dimostrabili le classiche alterazioni immunologiche dell allergia. Questi due fatti hanno quindi portato alla creazione di Dipartimenti dell Atopia nelle strutture sanitarie di vari paesi. Lo scopo di questa pubblicazione e quello di "tradurre" e schematizzare gli argomenti svolti in maniera accademica nella prima edizione della Scuola dell Atopia e che si sono condensati nel libro omonimo. Questo libro, invece, si propone di essere uno strumento sintetico e di rapida consultazione, destinato a chi si trovi di fronte a questi pazienti nel quotidiano, sia essi un medico o un pediatra di base ma anche un infermiere o un farmacista. Il libro comprende un atlante fotografico cronologico ed annotato delle principali manifestazioni dell atopia cui segue la sezione degli algoritmi commentati su ciascuno dei principali capitoli. La terza parte, infine, offre un elenco critico dei "prodotti" per l atopia disponibili in Italia ed include, oltre ai farmaci topici, una selezione dei dermocosmetici utili nella gestione dei questi pazienti."
Organ transplantation has been successfully performed over the last 35 years and the number of organ allograft recipients is steadily increasing. Long-term immunosuppression, necessary for good graft function, inevitably induces undesired effects (particularly infectious and neoplastic ones) among which cutaneous ones are very frequent and potentially life-threatening. This book deals with all aspects of cutaneous disorders that may be encountered in the setting of organ transplantation. It reflects the pioneering work performed since long by Dermatologists in Lyon, in collaboration with teams specialised in kidney, heart, lung, liver and pancreas transplantation.
Melanocytic neoplasms are of capital importance for all surgical pathologists and dermatopathologists. These tumors span a huge range of morphologic expression and biologic behavior, are potentially of the highest medical significance and are often fraught with diagnostic pitfalls and high litigation risk. "Pathology of Challenging Melanocytic Neoplasms "offers a dynamic text where readers will encounter a broad spectrum of challenging melanocytic lesions, both benign and malignant and will thereby acquire a solid, working knowledge that they can immediately apply to daily diagnosis. The authors aim to clarify this often thorny field, keeping a steady focus on patient-related issues. The volume emphasizes the practical application of basic morphologic principles, immunohistochemistry and molecular methods in order to secure a confident diagnosis. Abundant illustrations display the characteristic features of the most important disease entities. Rather than being yet another encyclopedic work of reference, this volume takes a fresh approach as it resembles a series of stimulating seminars employing exemplary case material to highlight, illustrate, and succinctly discuss the key points. To this end, the reader will be guided through a series of paired cases that pose a significant diagnostic challenge. By comprehensively comparing and contrasting two related entities, each such chapter will illuminate an intellectual pathway through which an important diagnostic puzzle can be solved. To broaden the differential diagnosis even further, additional illustrative cases are added to each discussion. Algorithms and tables summarize key points. Clinically relevant, up-to-date references will be provided to guide further study. Written by experts in the field, this novel text will be of great value to surgical pathologists in practice and dermatologists as well as residents and fellows training in these specialties.

L'esigenza di chiarire i concetti attuali dell'atopia, che per troppo tempo hanno oscillato tra una primitiva visione squisitamente clinica ed una successiva unicamente immunologica, era matura da tempo. L'avere compreso che il ruolo delle immunoglobuline E non e esaustivo ed avere accettato la salomonica divisione tra atopia intrinseca ed estrinseca, sono stati i primi due passi fondamentali. Le recenti scoperte del ruolo dell'immunita innata, e quindi dei peptidi antimicrobici, hanno aperto dei fondamentali spazi di comprensione nell'atopia e non solo. Quello che ora appare chiaro e che l'atopia non e la malattia di un organo ma piuttosto un difetto delle membrane che delimitano il nostro "self." Il fatto che queste membrane si chiamino pelle, intestino, congiuntiva, bronchi o quant'altro ha artificialmente frammentato la comprensione ed il trattamento di un fenomeno unitario. Questo libro vuole cercare di fare una sintesi delle diverse esperienze ma soprattutto essere uno stimolo a far si che la medicina si focalizzi costruttivamente sullo stesso bersaglio. Se cosi sara, non assisteremo piu a"guerre di religione" tra scienziati e medici pratici o, peggio ancora, tra i differenti specialisti che si contendono il paziente. Se l'atopia, come noi crediamo, e un problema globale, esso puo essere adeguatamente affrontato solo in un contesto pluridisciplinare e in clima collaborativo, non solo tra medico e medico ma anche tra medico e paziente.
This second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Medical Dermatology provides practical and accessible advice on how to reach a diagnosis or create a management plan when faced with patients with a range of skin conditions. Giving concise and clear guidance on investigation and treatment, this Handbook helps doctors adopt a step-by-step approach at the bedside to make sense of skin problems by analysing clinical signs. Illustrated and in full colour, it covers skin physiology, an overview of common skin conditions, and skin problems commonly seen in a broad range of specialities, from rheumatology to psychiatry, as well as children and the elderly. Now comprehensively updated with new clinical pictures, references, and extensively reworked chapters on skin in infancy and childhood, cutaneous reactions to drugs, skin tumours, and rheumatology. This second edition now includes a brand new chapter on skin and genetics, detailing this fast-growing and important area of dermatology, promoting good communication with a patient-centred and practical common-sense approach for trainees in dermatology, junior doctors, GPs, and medical students.
Reflectance confocal microscopy enables lesions in skin to be examined without excision, but with improved diagnostic accuracy, assessment of dermoscopic-histologic correlation, assessment of surgical margins, as well as speed and convenience for the physician and patient. This extensively enlarged and updated text reviews the current and future state of the art for those involved with the diagnosis and treatment of skin tumors, with a greatly increased amount of material on the expected normal patterns of skin throughout life and on non-melanocytic tumors.
A unique compilation of expertise on anatomy, physiology, clinical issues, and current research, this textbook analyzes the range of presentation with age, ethnicity, symptoms, disorders, diagnoses, and toxicity. The second edition of this essential resource for anyone taking care of female patients has been doubled in scope to include additional chapters. All physicians, whether dermatologists or gynaecologists, as well as those researching the scientific evidence and symptoms, will benefit from the experience of the expert contributors and editors gathered here.
Since the first edition of this book was published in 2004, to much acclaim, the pace of innovation in the field of skin metrology has increased and various new technologies have become available. This new, revised edition reflects these advances by presenting the current theory and practice of noninvasive investigation and measurement of the skin and its appendices in health and disease. The first, extensive part of this authoritative work is devoted to the physiology and metrology of the various structural components of the skin. Skin functions and their measurement are then discussed in detail, with sections on mechanical protection, photoprotection, barrier function, immune function, thermoregulation, and sensory function. In addition, careful consideration is given to skin disease rating and skin maps, and a unique list of physical and biological constants and units is provided. Not only is this new edition the first comprehensive, practical handbook in this domain - it will also serve as a manual of skin physiology and collates anatomical, functional, and physical quantitative data that would otherwise be arduous to retrieve because of their dispersal throughout the literature. It will prove a valuable resource for dermatologists, cosmetologists, bioengineers, physiologists, pharmacists, and all others who deal with the skin in their work.
