This concise practical guide is designed to facilitate the clinical
decision-making process by reviewing a number of cases and defining
the various diagnostic and management decisions open to clinicians.
It is richly illustrated and diverse in scope, enabling the reader
to obtain relevant information regarding both standard and unusual
cases in a rapid, easy to digest format. The first in the series
will be on Geriatric Dermatology and will be prepared within one
month of acceptance and include photos. Each case will also include
a narrative description and patient management tips
The manifestations of dermatologic disease in the geriatric
population are often subtly different to those in the younger age
groups and there is a need to produce a practical and clinical
reference for dermatology fellows and residents, geriatricians and
related clinicians to identify dermatoses and their differential
diagnosis specific to the aging population. Diagnosis of Aging Skin
Diseases will provide the clinician with a visual encyclopedia of
geriatric dermatoses that can be used on rounds or in a reference
environment. It also provides a structured review of the
differential diagnosis of the lesions illustrated within the book,
which will make this a priceless reference resource for all
physicians dealing with older skin.
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. Integrative
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. In 1992 the National Institutes of
Health established the National Center for Complementary and
Alternative Medicine (now also called Integrative Medicine), which
has led to increased evidence-based research. The objective of this
book is to provide readers with an overview of traditional and
complementary treatment options for the most common skin problems
encountered in clinical practice.
Written by a leading dermatologist, The Blue Man and Other Stories
of the Skin provides a compelling and accessible introduction to
the life of our largest organ, while also recounting the author's
experiences with memorable patients he has treated who suffer from
mysterious skin conditions. Robert Norman begins by highlighting
the qualities of the skin, tracing the history of its conditions
and diseases, then examining the cultural, social and psychological
impact of both color and irregularity. The book also features an
absorbing collection of stories about some of his most intriguing
patients: from a man whose skin mysteriously turned blue, to a
hypochondriacal woman who begins to show signs of a
life-threatening disease. This is a fascinating account of the
dynamic nature of the skin, and the people who inhabit it.
This clinical case book serves as a useful guide for
dermatologists, internists, family practitioners, pediatricians,
and anyone else charged with the care of infectious diseases of the
skin of parasitic, fungal, bacterial, and viral origin. The
case-based format distinguishes this work from a reference-style
textbook, allowing readers to relate the presented cases to their
own practice. Clinical Cases in Infections and Infestations of the
Skin provides help and insight for clinicians in managing skin
disease, with each chapter serving as a springboard for further
pursuit and more extensive training. The reader will find useful
information and tools to help patients and will enable readers to
add to their current clinical regimens by becoming familiar with
healing systems beyond medical dermatology. The book will enable
those new to the field to develop a literacy and competence in the
management of infectious dermatology. For the more experienced
learner, it will assist in finding new ways to sharpen diagnostic
and treatment acumens.
