Nanotechnology in Dermatology is the first book of its kind to address all of the important and rapidly growing aspects of nanotechnology as it relates to dermatology. In the last few years there has been an explosion in research and development for products and devices related to nanotechnology, including numerous applications for consumers, physicians, patients, and industry. Applications are underway in medicine and dermatology for the early detection, diagnosis, and targeted therapy of disease, and nanodesigned materials and devices are expected to be faster, smaller, more powerful, more efficient, and more versatile than their traditional counterparts. Written by experts working in this exciting field, Nanotechnology in Dermatology specifically addresses nanotechnology in consumer skin care products, in the diagnosis of skin disease, in the treatment of skin disease, and the overall safety of nanotechnology. The book also discusses future trends of this ever-growing and changing field, providing dermatologists, pharmaceutical companies, and consumer cosmetics companies with a clear understanding of the advantages and challenges of nanotechnology today.
Allergic diseases, affecting one in four people, are diagnosed through the demonstration of an abnormal immune response (sensitization) to a trigger (allergen) inducing a clinical hypersensitivity response. Allergen-induced immune responses can be demonstrated using in vivo (skin and challenge), or in vitro tests. The occurrence and severity of hypersensitivity reactions are influenced by mast cell disorders, such as hereditary alpha-tryptasemia, which is found in up to 8% of general population by means of serum tryptase measurement. The place of in vitro tests has considerably expanded since the beginning of the century, thanks to progress in multiple fields including allergen biochemistry,...
Contact urticaria syndrome was first defined in 1975 and since then scientific interest has steadily increased. New cases are continuously being reported furnishing information on novel clinical features. A large number of compounds could be responsible for triggering the syndrome including fragrances, cosmetics, latex, preservatives, flavorings, and disinfectants. However, contact urticaria syndrome is often misdiagnosed in part due to a misinterpretation of its clinical manifestation and lack of knowledge of appropriate testing protocols and diagnostic programs. The latter have to be individualized for each patient based on the substance in question, medical history, possible concomitant d...
Urticaria, commonly known as ‘hives’, is a skin rash which can have allergic and non-allergic causes. This handbook is an initiative of the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) Urticaria Centers of Reference and Excellence (UCARE). Divided into 22 sections, the text begins with an overview of urticaria, its classification, and aetiopathogenesis. The next chapters describe different types of urticaria, diagnostic measures, and therapeutic management. The final sections examine urticaria in children, in the elderly, in pregnancy and lactation, and in kidney, liver and cardiac disease. A separate chapter covers patient education material. Authored by renowned worldwide experts, the text is further enhanced by clinical images, tables and figures to assist learning.

This book addresses aspects of human factors in engineering and provides a detailed discussion of novel approaches, systems engineering tools, artificial cognitive systems, and intelligent technologies and automation. It presents applications in diverse areas, including digital manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure development, and cybersecurity. This book: • Merges the engineering perspective with the human factors and social dimension of computing and artificial intelligence–based technologies. • Covers technological development of human factors engineering and the human dimension in applications across all areas of modern society. • Relates to human behavior in the context of technology and systems interactions. • Discusses the design and the appropriation of 3D printing techniques in the management of an innovative product system. • Presents systems engineering tools, user experience methodologies, artificial cognitive systems, intelligent technologies, and automation. The text is for students, professionals, and researchers in the fields of ergonomics, human factors, industrial engineering, and manufacturing engineering.
This book gathers the proceedings of the Multidisciplinary International Conference of Research Applied to Defense and Security (MICRADS), held at the Military Engineering Institute, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 8 to 10th May 2019. It covers a variety of topics in systems, communication and defense; strategy and political-administrative vision in defense; and engineering and technologies applied to defense. Given its scope, it offers a valuable resource for practitioners, researchers, and students alike.
This book investigates the development of sorption enhanced reaction processes (SERPs) with detailed modelling and simulation, design and operation of units. SERPs are processes intensified by combining adsorption and reaction, reaction and membranes or reaction/adsorption/membranes in a single unit in order to overcome thermodynamic limitations of conversion in reversible reactions. The focus here is on gas phase and liquid phase processes involving different technologies, including pressure swing adsorptive reactors, membrane reactors and simulated moving bed reactors. Emphasis is also given to presenting data and practical applications of SERP products.Sorption Enhanced Reaction Processes provides undergraduate and graduate students of chemistry and chemical engineering, researchers and industrial engineers with a clear path towards process development of SERP, whatever the area of application.
This two-part book on collections of paintings in Madrid is part of the series Documents for the History of Collecting, Spanish Inventories 1, which presents volumes of art historical information based on archival records. One hundred forty inventories of noble and middle-class collections of art in Madrid are accompanied by two essays describing the taste and cultural atmosphere of Madrid in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
