Giving dermatologists, dermatology residents, and primary care physicians a deeper insight into pemphigus vulgaris, a rare autoimmune disease characterized by blisters and lesions on the skin and mucous membranes, this book provides insight and treatment options alongside dozens of high quality photographs, pathology slides, illustrations, algorithms, figures and clinical tables detailing the disease at all stages. Providing more than 20 clinical case photos of patients exhibiting symptoms, A Clinician’s Guide to Pemphigus Vulgaris summarizes much of what is known about this disease, including categories of the disorder, clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and recent clinical research photos about the disease.
This new text provides insight and treatment options for the covered disease, including dozens of high quality photographs, illustrations, and clinical tables. Topics covered include the history of the disease, categories of the disorder, molecular analysis, epidemiology, effects on body systems, disorder symptoms, and treatment. Acrodermatitis Enteropathica is a rare disorder of zinc metabolism that occurs in one of two forms: inborn and acquired. If untreated, the disease is fatal and affected individuals may die within just a few years, but since there is no cure for the condition, it is critical that physicians are aware of the signs and symptoms related to AE and the appropriate treatments available for patients. A Comprehensive Guide to Acrodermatitis Enteropathica is the only book of its kind to give insight into this rare disorder. Written by and for dermatologists, pediatric specialists, and ObGYN’s, this book contains one of the largest clinical research studies done on Acrodermatitis Enteropathica over the last decade.
Offering the reader a comprehensive look at the material regarding alopecia areata, this book is divided into several sections: One section encompasses the detailed overview of alopecia areata including its epidemiology, etiology, signs, symptoms, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment options; another section provides information and content about different comorbidities in patients with alopecia areata; the third section contains case studies of patients diagnosed with alopecia areata, including their signs, symptoms, lab tests, clinical management, and treatment; and the last section covers research studies on this disease. Complete with full color photographs of patients before, during, and after the disease to accompany the various sections, Alopeacia Areata -- A Clinician's Guide is written for dermatologists as well as internists dealing with the comorbid conditions that often accompany alopecia areata.
Complete with dozens of color clinical photos to aid readers in diagnosis and treatment, this book includes TNM staging, description of the histopathology, and a step-by-step guide through the diagnosis of the disease. It is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, generally affecting the skin, though sometimes progressing internally over time. However, there is very little comprehensive information on this subject for dermatologists, dermatopathologists, and oncologists seeking deeper insight into this lymphoma in one all-inclusive text. Clinician’s Guide to Mycosis Fungoides meets this need, covering the history, categories of disorder, molecular analysis, etiology, epidemiology, effect on body systems, disorder symptoms, and treatment. Additionally, the various recommended treatments of mycosis fungoides are explained, using clinical research and case studies as guidance in part stemming from the author’s extensive research on the topic.
This book is written as a system-based clinical-radiological review providing images from the latest available imaging modalities and covers all major diseases that are encountered in everyday clinical practice. A problem-orientated approach is used. Every chapter contains a collection of clinical cases, each with a short clinical description and initial imaging followed by pertinent questions regarding the imaging findings (colour coded in red outline). The second part of each chapter contains the case diagnosis, a discussion of the role of imaging in the presenting problem, a recommended sequence for further imaging evaluation, and illustrative examples of the same disease using different imaging modalities for further investigation. Images of conditions in the differential diagnosis are also provided (colour coded in blue outline). This textbook is written by experienced radiologists working in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. It will serve as an ideal text for medical students and radiology trainees.
Specialists and family physicians alike encounter dermatology-obstetric/gynecology conditions on a regular basis.

Covers all diseases, conditions, and issues associated with obstetric and gynecologic dermatology. Contains chapters on hyperpigmentation and melasma, connective tissue physiologic changes, pregnancy gingivitis, vulvar disorders, autoimmune conditions during pregnancy, herpes, rheumatic skin disease, and many more. Includes a selection of case files and progressive, high-quality photos of patients with various conditions to aid clinicians with differential diagnosis.
This edited book, Cytogenetics - Classical and Molecular Strategies for Analysing Heredity Material, presents recent advances in the field of cytogenetics, paying special attention to methodological achievements developed worldwide that have driven the field forward. The contributors clearly discuss several concepts and approaches useful for understanding chromosomal structure and function at its various levels, highlighting chromosomes as visible carriers of heredity material.
This book reviews the role of each cell subset in the skin, providing the basics for understanding skin immunology and the mechanisms of skin diseases. The skin is one of the immune organs and is continually exposed to foreign antigens and external stimuli that must be monitored and characterized for possible elimination. Upon exposure to foreign antigens, the skin can elicit a variety of immune responses in harmony with skin components that include keratinocytes, dendritic cell subsets, mast cells, basophils, fibroblasts, macrophages, gamma-delta T cells, neutrophils, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, vascular and lymphatic cells, hair follicles, platelets, and adipose tissues, among others...
