Pattern analysis is a powerful method that changed dermatopathology, nowadays an indispensable tool in the diagnostic workup of inflammatory and neoplastic lesions. The diagnosis of melanocytic lesions can also be mastered by pattern analysis, which is the link between pathology, dermatoscopy, and clinical dermatology and supports the integration of all views. The histopathologic diagnosis of melanocytic lesions can be challenging for novices and experts alike. While classifications of melanocytic lesions come and go, pattern analysis is timeless; it can be assigned to any classification, current or future, and provides a framework that allows to address complex and uncertain cases in a repeatable manner. While uncertainty cannot be totally eliminated, pattern analysis helps to express this uncertainty in a meaningful way. Written by expert dermatopathologists with experience in dermatoscopy, this book is dedicated to young colleagues and to those who have not yet settled on one of the competing schools of thought; it is intended as a practical guide to help making correct observations, to describe them with a well-defined terminology, and to yield critical decisions in the face of incomplete or conflicting information. The illustrations contained in the volume are all original pictures in high-quality and full-color: reproductions of histopatological cuts in low and high magnification will assist pathologists, dermatologists, and dermatopathologists in interpreting histological slides of melanocytic skin lesions.
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.

Das vorliegende Essential bietet einen fundierten Einblick in die photobiologischen Wirkmechanismen, die einer Phototherapie mit UV-A, UV-B oder PUVA zu Grunde liegen. Es stellt zudem einen Leitfaden fur die Durchfuhrung einer Phototherapie dar. Die Phototherapie ist eine seit Langem genutzte und effektive Behandlungsmodalitat in der Therapie verschiedenster Dermatosen. Im Wesentlichen entfaltet sie ihre Wirkung durch drei Mechanismen. Erstens fuhrt UV-Bestrahlung zu einer Induktion von DNS-Schaden, was zum Zelltod fuhren kann. Zweitens beeinflusst Phototherapie sowohl angeborene wie auch spezifische Anteile des Immunsystems und entfaltet eine immunmodulatorische Wirkung. Drittens wird der Kollagenstoffwechsel verandert.
Over the decades, research has demonstrated that in categories of life deemed to be important, beautiful people achieve more desirable outcomes, are judged more favorably, and receive preferential treatment. An understanding of the historical aspects, science, and implications of what the human mind finds aesthetically pleasing is quintessential for dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and others who practice aesthetic medicine as the importance of beauty in today's society is what brings patients into clinics. While an element of dissatisfaction with one's appearance is commonplace, clinicians should remain vigilant for individuals who seek cosmetic procedures to quell excessive body image concerns that are out of proportion to objective physical findings. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a disorder of self-perception; it is the impairing preoccupation with a nonexistent or minimal flaw in appearance. According to recent statistics, BDD occurs in 0.7-2.4% of the general population; however, multiple studies have suggested an incidence of 6-16% in patients seeking aesthetic medical treatments. Moreover, a vast majority will at some point seek dermatologic treatment and cosmetic surgery. Such patients are unlikely to be satisfied with corrective procedures, and only 15% of dermatologists surveyed thought that they could successfully treat BDD. Therefore, Beauty and Body Dysmor phic Disorder aims to assist dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other aesthetic providers in recognizing key characteristics as well as providing treatment strategies to help in caring for those with BDD.
This practical guide to the use of radiotherapy for the treatment of sarcomas and skin cancers covers a wide range of disease scenarios, identifying which treatment techniques are applicable in particular clinical circumstances. Among the conditions considered are extremity soft tissue sarcomas, retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas, bone sarcomas, uterine sarcomas, chordomas, pediatric sarcomas, squamous cell carcinomas, basal cell carcinomas, melanomas, Merkel cell carcinomas, and cutaneous lymphomas. Detailed attention is devoted to the issues and considerations of relevance in everyday practice when treating these diseases. The use of multiple radiotherapy techniques and procedures, including IMRT, brachytherapy, radiosurgery, and particle therapy, is fully explained, and the role of radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy and emerging therapeutics such as immunotherapy and biologic anticancer agents is also addressed. The book will be of high value for practicing radiation oncologists, medical and surgical oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, trainees, and other medical professionals.

""Sun Protection in Man"" looks at the beneficial and harmful
effects of solar radiation. The physiological consequences of sun
exposure have been systematically studied starting at the end of
the nineteenth century and we now have accumulated knowledge about
how Caucasian and Asian skins reacts to solar radiation. The
chemical effects of solar ultraviolet radiation have been analyzed
with particular emphasis during the second half of the twentieth
century. Research on micro-organisms has allowed us to understand
the mechanisms of UV-induced mutagenesis and photosensitization.
Studies with laboratory rodents have opened the path to the
understanding of UV-induced immune-depression, carcinogenesis,
photo-damage and photo-aging. The results of these studies have
enabled other scientists to investigate the same phenomena in human
organs such as the skin and the eye. UV radiation damages hair, as
well. The present knowledge in these fields is summarized in some
of the chapters of this monograph.

The Handbook is heavily illustrated with diagnostic guides and treatment algorithms from Dr Schadendorf (which are supported by national and international guidelines), as well as numerous images from his practice to support the text. Busy healthcare professionals who want a quick review of diagnostic and staging guidelines as well as a summary of current therapies for cutaneous melanoma will benefit from this succinct guide.
Die Nutzung des Ultraschalls auch im Fachgebiet der Dermatologie ist noch relativ jung. Dass die Ultraschalldiagnostik speziell mit hochaufloesendem Ultraschall (20MHz) bei entzundlichen Veranderungen der Haut sowie bei Hauttumoren und in der Diagnostik und Beurteilung von Lymphknoten insbesondere unter der Fragestellung ihrer Dignitat sinnvoll einzusetzen ist, hat die Methode inzwischen etabliert. In dem Buch wird das gesamte Gebiet der Ultraschalldiagnostik von Haut und Lymphknoten ausfuhrlich abgehandelt, das praktische Vorgehen wird beschrieben und anhand einer Vielzahl von Bildern und Befundinterpretationen vermittelt. Dabei wird auch auf moegliche Artefakten und Fehlermoeglichkeiten in der Interpretation von Ultraschallbildern eingegangen. Das Wissen fur den Erwerb der KV-Qualifikation "Ultraschall in der Dermatologie" wird vermittelt.
