Abstract

La consapevolezza che l’atopia sia l’espressione di una più facile suscettibilità della cute e delle mucose (oculari, respiratorie, digestive) agli agenti esterni in senso lato, porta alla logica conseguenza che i professionisti della salute che se ne debbano occupare siano vari e necessariamente coordinati. La nozione di atopia allarga il concetto tradizionale di allergia, perché in molti pazienti atopici non sono dimostrabili le classiche alterazioni immunologiche dell’allergia. Questi due fatti hanno quindi portato alla creazione di Dipartimenti dell’Atopia nelle strutture sanitarie di vari paesi. Lo scopo di questa pubblicazione è quello di "tradurre" e schematizzare gli argomenti svolti in maniera accademica nella prima edizione della Scuola dell’atopia e che si sono condensati nel testo omonimo. Questo libro, invece, si propone di essere uno strumento sintetico e di rapida consultazione, destinato a chi si confronta con questi pazienti nel quotidiano: medico, pediatra di base, infermiere o farmacista. Il libro comprende un atlante fotografico cronologico ed annotato delle principali manifestazioni dell’atopia cui segue la sezione degli algoritmi commentati su ciascuno dei principali capitoli. La terza parte, infine, offre un elenco critico dei "prodotti" per l’atopia disponibili in Italia ed include, oltre ai farmaci topici, una selezione dei dermocosmetici utili nella gestione dei questi pazienti.

Abstract

Neurocutaneous diseases are a wide group of conditions that affect the nervous system but appear as lesions of the skin. Some of the more common entities have variable forms of expression that can confuse the diagnosis; for the rare conditions it is difficult to find descriptions in the literature. Recent insights into their cellular, biochemical and molecular genetic bases have shown the essential need for a new nosology and updated genotype-phenotype correlations. The book provides an authoritative source of knowledge about these difficult problems and bridges the gap between clinical recognition and the new molecular medicine. The editors, distinguished clinicians and geneticists, assembled an internationally renowned group of collaborators, many of them the experts who first described a particular disorder or established its present accepted definition. They have written a practical, comprehensive guide to the recognition, investigation and management of more than 60 recognised phakomatoses.

Abstract

In recent years the relevance of non-invasive bioimaging techniques in the field of melanoma screening has steadily increased. In the new era of clinicoimaging  diagnosis, reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) will have a major impact on the diagnosis and management of neoplastic and inflammatory skin diseases.   This book focuses on the use and significance of in vivo RCM for non-invasive high-resolution imaging of the skin. All of the chapters in this hands-on guide are generously illustrated with numerous confocal images and structured in a reader-friendly way. The contents include: ¢          detailed information on the most relevant and up-to-date aspects of RCM, ¢          schematic drawings summarizing and explaining the most important RCM criteria, and ¢          a chapter specifically devoted to bridging the gap between dermoscopy, RCM, and histopathology. At the end of each chapter, core messages recapitulate the most pertinent aspects.   Reflectance Confocal Microscopy for Skin Diseases will be a valuable resource for all physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic and inflammatory skin diseases

Abstract

In Dermatovenereologie voor de eerste lijn wordt een uitgebreid en praktisch overzicht gegeven van de dermatologie en venereologie. Op basis van deze uitgave kan iedere medicus aan de hand van de morfologische en topografische kenmerken van een huidaandoening snel een differentiële diagnose opstellen en zich een indruk vormen van de therapeutische mogelijkheden. Het aanbod van ruim 750 klinische foto's maakt het stellen van een definitieve diagnose gemakkelijker. Bij het bespreken van de aandoeningen komen achtereenvolgens het klinisch beeld, het voorkomen, de pathofysiologie, de diagnostiek, de behandeling en eventueel het beloop en het moment van verwijzen aan de orde. Naast hoofdstukken over bijzondere aandachtsgebieden zoals psychodermatologie en fotodermatologie is er speciale aandacht voor dermatosen die voorkomen bij mensen in een bepaalde levensfase, zoals zwangere vrouwen, ouderen en kinderen. In deze negende, geheel herziene druk zijn vele ontwikkelingen en nieuwe inzichten opgenomen en is aandacht besteed aan het actualiseren van de referenties. Alle hoofdstukken zijn vernieuwd en bijgewerkt. Diagnostische handelingen zoals het maken van een KOH-preparaat, het verrichten van een huidbiopsie en het beoordelen van het beeld door een dermatoscoop zijn dankzij de toegevoegde afbeeldingen beter te begrijpen. Ook zijn extra paragrafen toegevoegd over: teledermatologie, piëzogene papels, lipoedeem, bedwantsen, de ziekte van Kawasaki, huidafwijkingen bij kindermishandeling en microdermabrasie. Het uitgebreide register maakt het boek bij uitstek geschikt als naslagwerk. Dermatovenereologie voor de eerste lijn is enerzijds bedoeld voor studenten geneeskunde die door de systematische opbouw en de vele schema's hun weg kunnen vinden in de dermatologie. En anderzijds voor huisartsen, kinderartsen, verpleeghuisartsen, en overige medici die veel te maken hebben met dermatologische ziektebeelden.

Abstract

Dermatological clinical skills, unlike the diagnostic skills in other branches of medicine, are generally neglected in medical schools and take a long time to master, even though skin problems comprise 20-30% of primary care visits. In Dermatology Skills for Primary Care: An Illustrated Guide, a widely experienced dermatologist (Dr. Trozak) and two family physicians (Drs. Tennenhouse and Russell) seek to correct this deficiency by teaching the basic diagnostic and therapeutic skills used by dermatologists and demonstrating their application in daily practice. Using extensive illustrations and an excellent library of color photographs, the authors provide an overview of basic skills and cover 33 common dermatological conditions encountered by primary care clinicians every day. Writing in a simple, logical style clearly understandable to the nondermatologist, they discuss the full range of dermatological disorders, such as dimple warts, rosacea, scabies, erythrasma, epidermal/dermal lesions, freckles, moles, malignant melanoma, common skin cancers, shingles, acne, and atopic dermatitis, among others. Up to date and comprehensive, Dermatology Skills for Primary Care: An Illustrated Guide offers clinicians an authoritative and easy-to-use resource that will not only improve basic dermatological skills, but will also provide the broader foundation clinicians need when managing troubling skin disorders.

Abstract

The demand for outpatient cutaneous surgery procedures has increased at a rapid rate over the last several decades. Cosmetic, oncology, and reconstructive procedures are being performed by primary care physicians and a variety of specialists in different disciplines such as dermatology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, and otolaryngology. As the number of cutaneous surgery procedures rises, so will the rate of complications, which are inevitable and occur even with the most skilled and meticulous surgeons. This comprehensive text will enable the practicing physician to formulate a preoperative strategy to not only prevent complications before they occur but also to properly diagnose and manage complications when they arise, allowing the physician to provide optimal care to the patient.

Abstract

Although there are numerous technical-scientific books on breast cancer in the global bibliography, such books deal exclusively with the nature of the disease in majority populations of the Western societies, with little or no reference to the nature of the disease in the minority populations in such societies. Similarly, the nature of breast cancer in black women of the less privileged societies, and in women of ethnic groups living in countries of similar socio-economic status, is virtually unknown. For various epidemiological reasons, breast cancer incidence is rapidly increasing in these counties, more so than currently is the case in developed countries. Thus, the global burden of cancer is shifting gradually to these areas of the world, and may equal or even surpass the breast cancer burden in the Western societies within the foreseeable future. This book is unique because it bucks the trend of virtually all other breast cancer books by addressing specifically the breast cancer experience of women of African descent and their lifestyle counterparts in other societies of the world.
