Are ultraviolet rays dangerous? This is the question addressed by the leading dermatological experts who compare their wide clinical experience in this book. It has now been established that ultraviolet rays provoke erythema and can cause considerable damage to blood vessels. But what is their precise impact on the occurrence of premature ageing and cancer of the skin, and other serious consequences? The specialists contributing to this work report on their observations and give objective and reasoned opinions on this question. Their explanations are rounded out by many colour illustrations and diagrams.

In this second edition of the Histological Typing of Skin Tumours, the concise format of the first edition has been maintained. The number of tumours described, however, has increased considerably, especially in the melanocytic, adnexal, fibrous tissue and lymphoid neoplasms. Care has been taken to avoid needless subclassification, with the aim of limiting the expansion of categories to those fulfilling demonstrable histological criteria. The commentaries remain succinct whilst including the major diagnostic points, with reference to relevant immunohistochemical features.More than 200 new illustrations are included. Close collaboration with the authors of the AFIP Atlas of Tumor Pathology on Melanocytic and Non-melanocytic Tumours of the Skin ensures a consistent approach to the classification of skin tumors

Clinical cases are a key component in modern medical education, assisting the trainee or recertifying clinician to work through unusual cases using best practice techniques. Dermatology is an important discipline in this regard since it is a highly visual subject requiring the reader to describe often very subtle differences in the presentation of patients and define accurately the diagnostic and management criteria to base their clinical decision-making on. This is particularly the case in the field of psychocutaneous disease where scientific advances are shedding new light on the understanding and treatment of long-recognized conditions located at the interface of dermatology and psychiatry. Psychodermatology covers all aspects of how the mind and body interact in relation to the onset and progression of various skin disorders.

Scabies is a parasitic disease caused by the human itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei, which burrows through the skin leading to an intensely itchy rash. The scabies mite, which is just smaller than can be visualized by the naked eye (to most), mates and lays eggs in the human skin which hatch and mature, thereby propagating its life cycle. A diagnosis of scabies causes many patients anxiety and consternation. The Itch: Scabies details the essential clinic details of scabies - what it is, how to diagnose it, how to treat it, and examines common pitfalls in its recognition and cure. The methods of transmission of scabies and its level of contagiousness are also discussed in detail. Accounts of scabies date back to antiquity; this book reveals a history which is replete with medical and scientific missteps. The scabies mite was in fact the first infectious organism to ever be discovered, which represents a underrecognized landmark in the development of modern medicine. In spite of this, however, because it cannot be easily studied in the lab, our current knowledge of scabies is somewhat limited. Much of our current clinical understanding of scabies derives from a most unusual set of human experiments performed on conscientious objectors by Kenneth Mellanby in Britain during World War II. Through its use of clinical vignettes and images, this book brings the fascinating story of scabies to light and will be of interest to medical practitioners, historians of medicine, and the general public alike.

Paediatric Dermatology is an indispensable and highly-accessible practical guide for all healthcare professionals faced with the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of children with skin diseases. The second edition has been fully revised and updated to take into account new advances in therapies including biologics and genetics, and emerging problems such as rashes associated with transplantation and immunosuppression. Divided into 39 comprehensive chapters written by experts in both dermatology and paediatrics, the book is organised according to presentation and body site rather than diagnosis, making it ideal for quick reference in the clinical setting, as well as general study. It contains over 325 full-colour, high-quality clinical photographs of skin conditions, as well as simple algorithms to aid diagnosis of common presentations such as itchy red rashes, blistering disorders, bruising, and nail disorders. Features of more rare dermatological conditions are listed under the relevant clinical signs for easy reference and to aid diagnosis. Advice is given on when to refer to a dermatologist, while short descriptions of approved treatment modalities are given where appropriate.

This guide to dermatological treatments provides concise yet comprehensive, up-to-date overviews of treatment guidelines and pearls for a plethora of skin diseases. It is divided into three main sections that address the many different skin diseases, the drugs available for dermatological treatments, and the various methods applied in dermatology, including fillers, botulinum toxin, lasers, dermoscopy, cryosurgery, and electrosurgery. Each skin disease-focused chapter describes current treatments while also providing a brief synopsis of etiology and clinical presentation. Treatment indications and contraindications, modes of action, and dosages are clearly identified. This third edition of the European Handbook of Dermatological Treatments has been extensively revised to reflect the advances of the past decade, including biologic agents for psoriasis, also used as promising off-label treatments in other skin diseases, targeted agents for malignant melanoma and basal cell carcinoma, and new treatment modalities for rosacea, acne, atopic dermatitis, and urticaria, to name but a few. The successful easy-to-use format is retained in this new edition, which is enriched with clinical photos that will make reading a pleasurable as well as a learning experience.

Covering many aspects of dermatology, this handy and comprehensive reference aid is packed with key information on common skin problems including quick reference treatment guidelines. Topics include: *The integumentary system *Anatomy and physiology *How skin is affected by infection, ageing and ethnicity *Skin healing and wound management *Describing skin conditions *Pharmacology *Eczema and dermatitis *Fungal infections *Acne vulgaris *Evaluation of melanoma and pigmented lesions *Common skin conditions in primary care

Il fuoco di Sant Antonio e una malattia, certo Ma quale? Per noi Italiani e sicuramente l Herpes zoster; ma e sempre stato cosi? Ebbene, no

Sant Antonio Abate aveva la fama di taumaturgo e guaritore gia in vita, nonostante si fosse ritirato in un remoto deserto. Cosi, quando le sue spoglie arrivarono in Europa dopo l anno Mille, tutti coloro che soffrivano di malattie dolorose e urenti, imploravano Sant Antonio che li guarisse da quel "fuoco" che li tormentava.

Ma quali erano queste malattie cosi dolorose? Le antiche cronache sono spesso troppo succinte o troppo romanzate per orientarci nella diagnosi ma erisipela, sifilide, ergotismo hanno fatto certamente buona compagnia allo zoster.

L ergotismo, soprattutto, era una malattia terrorizzante perche compariva ad ondate imprevedibili e, come la peste, colpiva i virtuosi come i viziosi, scardinando l interpretazione allora dominante, del dolore come conseguenza del peccato. Come se non bastasse, l ergotismo non solo provocava terribili sofferenze ma spesso anche stati di confusione mentale e di delirio che erano (questi si ) sicuramente attribuiti al demonio.

Bisogna aspettare il XVIII secolo e l eta dei Lumi per mandare in soffitta le superstizioni che infestavano la medicina ed allora l ergotismo si rivela essere non piu una maledizione ma una solo una malattia, un effetto del consumo di pane nero alloiato

Lo studio degli allucinogeni e la scoperta dell LSD nel XX secolo, mettono la parola fine all interpretazione mistico-religiosa di alcune patologie e gettano inaspettatamente nuova luce su quello che fu il segreto meglio custodito dell Antichita: il culto dei Misteri Eleusini.

In questo libro, la storia del fuoco di Sant Antonio di dipana dai racconti medioevali sino all odierna virologia e suggerisce che la curiosita e la scienza sono l unico antidoto contro la superstizione e il mistero.

Un filo rosso unisce i Misteri Eleusini al Fuoco di Sant Antonio: questo filo e l LSD. La molecola e la stessa ma il contorno e molto diverso e, di sicuro, molto appassionante.

Highly practical eyelid surgery resource informs important reconstruction decisions and strategies Skin malignancies frequently affect the periocular area, necessitating excision followed by eyelid reconstruction. Periocular trauma is also quite common, and because of the highly complex regional anatomy, requires expertise for effective reconstruction. Preparation by ophthalmic plastic surgeons prior to periorbital reconstruction is often not possible due to the unpredictability of defects left after Mohs micrographic surgeons clear tumor margins or in cases of trauma. Eyelid Reconstruction by renowned expert Suzanne Freitag and esteemed coeditors N. Grace Lee, Daniel Lefebvre, and Michael Yoon fills a void in the literature. The book provides a quick and practical ophthalmic plastic surgery guide on how to plan and perform a full spectrum of periocular reconstruction procedures. The textbook is a compilation of patient cases and the authors' vast, richly diverse expertise. The book starts with two chapters covering complex periorbital anatomy and basic surgical principles, both of which are critical to performing safe and effective surgery. The third chapter provides a comprehensive overview of Mohs surgery in the periorbital area, an important topic given many defect reconstructions are secondary to Mohs micrographic surgical excisions. Subsequent chapters, organized by anatomic region, feature discussion of surgical approaches for reconstructions of various size and depth defects. The final chapter details eyelid trauma repair, including lid margin and lacrimal lacerations. Key Features An essential go-to pre- or peri-operative reference surgeons can consult quickly as reconstruction cases arise Practical and concise procedural descriptions accompanied by numerous high-quality photographs and illustrations enhance comprehension Chapters dedicated to medial canthus, lower eyelid, upper eyelid, and lateral canthus reconstruction procedures discuss special considerations based on underlying anatomy, adnexal structures, and required functions This is a must-have resource for residents, fellows, and experienced surgeons in the fields of ophthalmic plastic surgery, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, Mohs surgery, and maxillofacial surgery.
