With about 10-20% of the adult population in Europe being tattooed, there is a strong demand for publications discussing the various issues related to tattooed skin and health. Until now, only a few scientific studies on tattooing have been published. This book discusses different aspects of the various medical risks associated with tattoos, such as allergic reactions from red tattoos, papulo-nodular reactions from black tattoos as well as technical and psycho-social complications, in addition to bacterial and viral infections. Further sections are dedicated to the composition of tattoo inks, and a case is made for the urgent introduction of national and international regulations. Distinguished authors, all specialists in their particular fields, have contributed to this publication which provides a comprehensive view of the health implications associated with tattooing.

Dieses Buch führt praxisnah und sicher durch die komplexe Autoimmundiagnostik und die Diagnostischen Pfade. Es bietet einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Aspekte der Autoimmundiagnostik, eine Standardanleitung zur Methodik der indirekten Immunfluoreszenz und beschreibt prägnant alle wichtigen Autoimmunerkrankungen hinsichtlich ihrer Diagnose. Das innovative Konzept der diagnostischen Pfade, das in Deutschland und international zunehmend in den Kliniken angewandt wird, dient hier als praktischer Wegweiser für den Kliniker und leitet vom Symptom durch alle Schritte und Verzweigungen bis hin zur Diagnose. Die Ableitung eines diagnostischen Vorgehens über einen Algorithmus ist verbindlich, wird vielerorts in Krankenhausinformationssysteme implementiert, fördert die Verständigung zwischen Klinik und Labor und verhindert Fehldiagnosen. This book provides a practical and secure guide through the complexity of Autoimmune Diagnostics and Diagnostic Pathways. It contains an overview of significant aspects of Autoimmune Diagnostics, a standard procedure for indirect immunofluorescence and describes all important autoimmune diseases in terms of their diagnostic. In step with actual practice the innovative concept of Diagnostic Pathways leads from symptoms through all steps and branches to diagnosis.

This comprehensive guide offers a state-of-the-art overview of basic and clinical aspects of atopic dermatitis (AD). The name "atopic dermatitis" was first used in 1933, and Drs. Lewis Webb Hill and Marion B. Sulzberger presented their report "Evolution of atopic dermatitis" in 1935. Their observations accurately forecasted the contemporary issues in the management of the condition, such as the conclusions that should be drawn from our understanding of the pathogenesis of AD, and the use of steroids as the main treatment. Several aggravating factors have recently been identified, and these also need to be addressed. In this context, the expert contributors to this book describe and discuss the evolution of atopic dermatology from Sulzberger’s era to the present day, including clinical manifestations, etiopathology and treatment. In addition, it explores skin care intervention, the role of microbiom and GWAS studies, and presents unique, previously unpublished cohort studies. It provides insights into the dynamic changes in AD since Sulzberger introduced topical steroids for its treatment. It is a valuable resource for dermatologists, medical practitioners and researchers who are interested in atopic dermatology.
