Many oncologic therapies used to treat cancer have significant implications for the skin. These dermatologic reactions follow recognizable patterns and are closely related to the type of treatment given. Cutaneous Toxicities from Anti-Cancer Therapies,by Drs. Allireza Alloo and Nicole LeBoeuf, provides comprehensive coverage of cutaneous toxicities caused by the full spectrum of oncologic modes of treatment-specifically cytotoxic chemotherapy, targeted chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. This portable photoguide is a quick bedside handbook for dermatologists, oncologists, primary care providers, emergency room physicians, and other health care professionals who see patients undergoing treatment for cancer. Summarizes current evidence on skin toxicity from oncologic treatment using a succinct, highly practical format for quick reference Defines specific reaction patterns for oncology therapies and provides clinical pearls and treatment recommendations Features abundant full-color clinical photos that help you quickly identify reaction patterns and skin toxicity from specific cancer therapies Highlights special considerations for skin of color and pediatrics in boxes throughout the book Enrich Your eBook Reading Experience Read directly on your preferred device(s),such as computer, tablet, or smartphone.

The main goal of the present book is to deal with the role of nanobiotechnology in skin, soft tissue and bone infections since it is difficult to treat the infections due to the development of resistance in them against existing antibiotics. The present interdisciplinary book is very useful for a diverse group of readers including nanotechnologists, medical microbiologists, dermatologists, osteologists, biotechnologists, bioengineers. Nanotechnology in Skin, Soft-Tissue, and Bone Infections is divided into four sections: Section I- includes role of nanotechnology in skin infections such as atopic dermatitis, and nanomaterials for combating infections caused by bacteria and fungi. Section II- incorporates how nanotechnology can be used for soft-tissue infections such as diabetic foot ulcer and other wound infections; Section III- discusses about the nanomaterials in artificial scaffolds bone engineering and bone infections caused by bacteria and fungi; and also about the toxicity issues generated by the nanomaterials in general and nanoparticles in particular. The readers will be immensely enriched by the knowledge of new and emerging nanobiotechnologies in a variety of platforms.

This classic text sets a standard in this subject by outlining the scientific aspects that underlie pathological processes, relating these to specific organ systems and placing all in a context that the student of medicine or pathology can appreciate, understand and enjoy. The clearly defined and easy-to-follow structure, enhanced by numerous photographs and explanatory line diagrams, focuses on core material without neglecting novel concepts and up-to-the minute detail. A one-stop-shop in pathology, it reflects fully the integration of pathology into clinical teaching whether system or problem-based, and will take the student right through medical school and beyond to postgraduate training.

Eczema is the most common skin disorder in the industrialized world, followed closely by psoriasis, rosacea and acne. However, conventional medicine still offers no permanent solution to these conditions. In this book, natural health author Shann Nix Jones tells the incredible story of how she discovered a chemical-free method to help treat these conditions, during her struggle to heal her son's eczema and save her husband from a life-threatening MRSA superbug infection. Shann's staggering discovery is that eczema is not actually a skin condition - it's an autoimmune disorder. Your skin is simply a map of your gut; in order to heal the skin, you must first heal the gut. Shann reveals the latest scientific research about the 'microbiome' - the vast ecosystem of microorganisms that lives inside us. In simple, easy-to- understand language, she explains the gut-skin connection: what eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne really are; why they're often accompanied by hay fever, asthma, IBS and food allergies; and how adopting the kefir-based Good Skin Solution can help to treat both the symptoms and the underlying causes of your skin condition. If you, or anyone you know, are suffering from an on-going skin condition, this book could be the lifeline you've been waiting for.
