Dermatopathology: The Basics will serve as an effective and efficient handbook for the student of dermatopathology, and as a practical bench reference for the practicing diagnostician who desires rapid access to criteria that are useful in differentiating histologically similar entities. The chapters consist of essential bullet points arranged in organized outlines allowing for easy access and direct comparison between entities. The elaborate pictorial documentation will also enable the book to serve as an atlas of the most common dermatologic disorders. .

Containing a wealth of updated basic information and high quality of  iconographic material, Dermatopathology can assist the microscopists in a practical way to approach and solve the diagnostic problems they may face in the field. At a time when esoteric clinical entities and analytic techni­ques come and go, there is a need for a solid, updated, down to earth and "bench oriented" text in the field of dermopathology. This text provides a handbook which may be more helpful than an encyclopedic, "board orien­ted" textbook. The senior author of this book has been successfully working for over thirty years in his capacity as director of a private dermatopathology laboratory. His experience and knowledge of the subject is reflected in this well-structured and clearly-written text.

Why This Volume? The title of this volume reads like an oxymoron.After all, it is well known that,whether animal or human,adults do not spontaneously regenerate any of their organs that have been lost to accidental trauma or to surgery. If mammals could somehow regenerate organs such as the skin of a hand lost to a burn or a breast lost to mastectomy, scars should not ?ll the anato- cal site of the lost organ; instead,a regrown organ should emerge.If reg- eration were possible, treatments might also be developed for potentially lethal degenerative conditions such as a scarred heart muscle or a cirrhotic liver. The concept of induced organ regeneration in adults is relatively new. The deliberate modi?cation of healing to achieve regrowth of lost tissue structures does not follow directly from current mainstream paradigms of biological research.The ?rst tentative recognition that the healing process could be modi?ed to induce regeneration of the dermis, a tissue that does not spontaneously regenerate in adults, appeared in reports published in the early 1980s. Eventually, other organs, including peripheral nerves and the eye conjunctiva, were induced to regenerate in anatomical wounds known to be incapable of supporting spontaneous regeneration. The data on induced regeneration are scattered in a variety of journals, book chapters,abstracts,and theses.It is time to marshal the extensive e- dence.This is the main reason for writing this volume.

Human hair is the subject of a remarkably wide range of scientific investigations.  Its chemical and physical properties are of importance to the cosmetics industry, forensic scientists and to biomedical researchers.  The fifth edition of this book confirms its position as the definitive monograph on the subject.  Previous editions were recognized as “concise and thorough” (Journal of the American Chemical Society), “an invaluable resource” (Canadian Forensic Science Society Journal), and “highly recommended” (Textile Research Journal).  Chemical and Physical Behavior of Human Hair is a teaching guide and reference volume for cosmetic chemists and other scientists in the hair products industry, academic researchers studying hair and hair growth, textile scientists and forensic specialists. Features of the Fifth Edition: •Recent advances in the classification and characterization of the different proteins and genes in IF and keratin associated proteins in human hair are described.  •The mechanism and incidence of hair growth and loss and hair density vs. age of males & females are described for Asians, Caucasians and Africans in different scalp regions.  •Details of hair surface lipids and cuticle membranes provide a better understanding of the surface and organization of the CMC and its involvement in stress strain is presented.  •Recent evidence demonstrates a more bilateral structure in curly hair and a more concentric arrangement of different cortical proteins in straighter hair.  •SNPs involved in hair form (curl and coarseness) and pigmentation and genes in alopecia and hair abnormalities are described. •The latest biosynthetic scheme for hair pigments and structures for these and the different response of red versus brown-black pigments to photodegradation is described. •A new method for curvature on 2,400 persons from different countries and groups is used to assign curvature throughout this book.  •Additional data for age and effects on diameter, ellipticity, elastic modulus, break stress and other parameters are presented with much larger data sets featuring statistical analyses. •Hair conditioning, strength, breakage, split ends, flyaway, shine, combing ease, body, style retention, manageability and feel parameters are defined and described. •A new section of different life stages by age groups considering collective and individual changes in hair fiber properties with age and how these affect assembly properties.
