The Handbook of Skin Disease Management is the first handbook specifically developed with the focus on the management aspect of dermatological conditions. It is designed to be used by busy clinicians who need relevant information quickly and includes an A-Z format with succinct entries loaded with essential information. Incorporating evidence bases and success rates f...
Drei Jahre Alltag in Vietnam
Von Deutschland und England nach Vietnam - welch ein mutiger Sprung über einen breiten kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Graben! Die Geografin und Tourismuswissenschaftlerin Susanne Flohr und ihr Mann, ein Mediziner und Sinologe, haben ihn mit ihren beiden kleinen Söhnen gewagt. Von schachmatt setzender Hitze bis sintflutartiger Regenzeit, von kulinarischen Köstlichkeiten und Eigentümlichkeiten des Kindergartens bis Kakerlaken und Korruption, von Verkehrschaos bis Hausbau-Virus, von ungehemmter Neugier bis nachbarschaftlicher Ignoranz der Privatsphäre, von Aberglaube bis typisch asiatischem Schuhwerk, von medizinischer Versorgung und Möbeltransport per Motorrad bis Müllentsorgung, von "Hauselfen" und traditioneller Hochzeit bis Heimweh ... - drei intensive Jahre in Vietnam prägen sich in die Seele ein und führen unweigerlich dazu, dem exotischen Land und seinem Volk für die Gastfreundschaft und die vielfältigen, lebensprallen, den Horizont erweiternden Eindrücke zu danken. Ein faszinierender Reisebegleiter; eine Liebeserklärung an eine herausfordernd fremde Kultur.

Each chapter describes the condition in an easy-to-read format and offers practical advice for treating and managing symptoms.
Filaggrin
Filaggrin gene mutations are common in Europeans and their descendants, as well as in Asians, reaching a prevalence of up to 10%. Filaggrin proteins are crucial for skin homeostasis as their metabolites maintain skin hydration, keep the skin pH low, and provide protection against solar radiation. FLG mutation carriers suffer from dry and scaly skin and have an increased transfer of allergens and chemicals across the epidermis. Moreover, they have 10% higher serum vitamin D levels, potentially affecting the propensity to develop other diseases. FLG loss-of-function mutations represent the strongest risk factor hitherto discovered for atopic dermatitis and are major predisposing factors for related asthma and hay fever. This textbook provides comprehensive and detailed coverage of the effects of FLG mutations in health and disease (cutaneous and non-cutaneous) and also discusses the basic science, epidemiology, management, and future research areas.

An Epidemic of Absence
A controversial, revisionist approach to autoimmune and allergic disorders considers the perspective that the human immune system has been disabled by twentieth-century hygiene and medical practices.
Reimagining Global Health
Bringing together the experience, perspective and expertise of Paul Farmer, Jim Yong Kim, and Arthur Kleinman, Reimagining Global Health provides an original, compelling introduction to the field of global health. Drawn from a Harvard course developed by their student Matthew Basilico, this work provides an accessible and engaging framework for the study of global health. Insisting on an approach that is historically deep and geographically broad, the authors underline the importance of a transdisciplinary approach, and offer a highly readable distillation of several historical and ethnographic perspectives of contemporary global health problems. The case studies presented throughout Reimagining Global Health bring together ethnographic, theoretical, and historical perspectives into a wholly new and exciting investigation of global health. The interdisciplinary approach outlined in this text should prove useful not only in schools of public health, nursing, and medicine, but also in undergraduate and graduate classes in anthropology, sociology, political economy, and history, among others.

Pathogenesis and Management of Atopic Dermatitis
A compilation of innovative findings in the field Recently, a breakthrough in understanding the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) has been made with studies successfully linking loss-of-function mutations in the genes encoding the epidermal structure protein filaggrin with the subsequent risk of developing AD. Another area of AD research apparently points us to the importance of the increased exposure to various environmental agents -- in particular those deprived of microbial stimuli -- which is known as the hygiene hypothesis'. Other studies suggest specific mechanisms in AD whereby innate immune responses are functionally defective. Also, the sweating disturbance in AD has recently r...
