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.

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.

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.

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.

Many young people suffer from skin conditions which affect their physical and mental wellbeing. In the modern 'appearance-focused' world of social media, skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis can be particularly psychologically challenging.

This book provides clear, accurate, and evidence-based information for young people with skin conditions. It outlines what 'normal' skin is, with subsequent chapters covering the most common skin problems, including acne, eczema, alopecia, hidradenitis, psoriasis, sweating, urticaria, vitiligo, and others. Each chapter describes the condition in a clear, easy-to-read format, and offers practical, evidence-based advice for treating and managing symptoms. Additional resources in each chapter provide reliable sources for finding further information. The book also includes a unique section addressing the impact skin can have on your life and ways to address this. The book is written with teenagers and young adults in mind, but the information will be useful for anyone with a skin problem, or those involved with young people including parents, teachers, and health workers.

Botulinumtoxin gilt zu Recht als das Synonym fur die Schoenheitsmedizin. Seit Jahren stehen Botox-Behandlungen noch vor Fillerinjektionen oder invasiven Eingriffen (Lidkorrekturen, Fettabsaugungen, Brustvergroesserungen) an der Spitze der am haufigsten durchgefuhrten Behandlungen und die Nachfrage nimmt weiterhin zu. Dies liegt nicht zuletzt daran, dass die Ergebnisse immer besser werden, da behandelnde AErzte immer erstklassiger ausgebildet sind und durch die mittlerweile jahrelange Anwendung auch einen groesseren Erfahrungshorizont im Hinblick auf schwierigere Falle aufweisen. Gleichsam sinkt die Angst der Patienten vor einer Behandlung mit dem sogenannten "Nervengift". Dieses Buch vermittelt Fachwissen aus Wissenschaft und 20 Jahren Erfahrung in der asthetischen Botox-Anwendung. Neben der detaillierten Darstellung von zugrundeliegender Anatomie, Injektionsschemata, Dosierung und Nebenwirkungsmanagement, finden sich auch viele Tipps und Tricks zu allen praxisrelevanten Aspekten der asthetischen Botox-Anwendung, wie rechtlichen, organisatorischen und wirtschaftlichen Fragen, oder auch Patientenfuhrung und -bindung.
