Skin and Psyche
Practicing dermatologists are likely to encounter several patients who have psychological difficulties in dealing with various skin conditions. While there are several factors that might be responsible for these difficulties (such as physical and mental stress), it is becoming increasingly clear nowadays that skin disease patients experiencing such issues need to be managed with a multidisciplinary approach to improve treatment outcomes.

Progress in Medicinal Chemistry
There are five main subject areas in this volume in the series on medicinal chemistry. The first is a review of the understanding of Alzheimer's disease and the development of drugs for its treatment; the second, looking at recent efforts in modifying a naturally occuring anticancer (campothecin) for chemotherapy; the third covers the problem of getting a drug to a specific site within the context of phosphates and phosphonates; a survey of sterilization using aldehydes for the destruction of microbes both inside and outside the human body is reviewed in the fourth; and the last chapter is an account of the progress made in the biologically active enantiomer for complex synthetic asymmetric drug molecules.
Psychosocial Aspects of Skin Conditions and Diseases
There is a growing recognition of the interplay between psychosocial factors and skin disease in relation to disease onset, flare-up, adaptation, and management. Many skin conditions are complex systemic diseases which are influenced by psychophysiological factors, and which in turn have the potential to trigger psychological distress. Further, it is well established that skin conditions ranging from acne and alopecia to psoriasis and vitiligo can be associated with considerable psychosocial burden, stigmatisation, and outright discrimination. Unfortunately, despite recent advances in medical treatments for a number of skin conditions, evidence based psychological interventions specifically targeting distress associated with skin conditions remain in short supply.
