Dermatology Books

Book SynopsisProvides practical and accessible advice on how to reach a diagnosis or create a management plan when faced with patients with a range of skin conditions. Assists a step-by-step approach to diagnosing skin problems by analysing clinical signs and provides concise and clear guidance on investigation and treatment.Trade ReviewIn summary, we like this book because of its user friendly layout, clear presentation and practical approach to dermatology. We would recommend this book for new dermatology trainees, general practitioners with a specialist interest in dermatology, and other specialty doctors who would like a more in-depth knowledge of skin disease manifestations in their field, including those doctors considering a career in dermatology. * Clinical and Experimental Dermatology *Despite its seemingly compact size it packs an awful lot of wisdom within its 693 pages making this a portable and very useful book, designed to be used frequently. The same ethos is found throughout the excellent Oxford Handbook series and this book is no exception.... As always it is keenly priced and I think represents very good value for money. It is up-to-date, accessible and has good quality colour pictures and to be honest, it is difficult to find a criticism of this excellent book. * Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia *Table of Contents1: Structure and function of the skin 2: The history in dermatology 3: Examination of the skin 4: What is the diagnosis? 5: Skin failure and emergency dermatology 6: Bacterial and spirochaetal infections 7: Viral and fungal infections 8: Infestations and parasites 9: Psoriasis 10: Eczema and lichen planus 11: Urticaria and erythema 12: Pustular rashes 13: Blisters 14: Oral and genital mucosae 15: Leg ulcers and lymphoedema 16: Sun and skin 17: Tumours 18: Cutaneous reactions to drugs 19: Skin and rheumatology 20: Vasculitis 21: Panniculitis 22: Diabetes and endocrinology 23: Skin and renal disease 24: Skin and gastroenterology 25: Skin and chest diseases 26: Skin and haematology/oncology 27: Skin and neurology 28: Skin and psychiatry 29: Skin in older people 30: Skin and pregnancy 31: Skin in infancy and childhood 32: Skin and genetics 33: Special tools and investigations 34: Medical management 35: Resources

I’m an ANP & this is useful for skin conditions when the patients are in the room or even when they’ve left to look up suitable terminology for writing notes. I work in a non teaching practice so I sometimes have to ‘google’ my way through consultations. This book really helps.' Amazon reviewer Valuable ‘It's a fabulous resource. I am a pharmacist and we are increasingly expected to respond to dermatology related signs and symptoms in community pharmacies as we rapidly become the first port of call for minor ailments. I use this book every day and have been able to confidently assess most skin conditions, using this well organised and easy to use book, and therefore suggest the best course of action, whether that be symptomatic treatment with a watch and wait approach or alternatively to see their GP.' Amazon reviewer Very satisfied ‘Very easy to find information about different skin conditions, written quite briefly and to the point with all the necessary knowledge one needs to deal with skin challenges.' Amazon reviewer This book is extremely useful and concise especially regarding Dermatological diagnosis ‘This is a superb book. I have used the website DermNet New Zealand for a long time now. This book is extremely useful and concise especially regarding Dermatological diagnosis.' Amazon reviewer Fantastic ‘Highly recommended for any ANP/ENPs out there.' Amazon reviewer Excellent & easy to use text book ‘Essential reading for any health care professional interested in dermatology. An excellent and easy to use resource.' Amazon reviewer Truly a tour-de-force ‘I am truly gobsmacked by the amount of effort that would have gone into putting a book like this together. That the author did a remarkable job goes without saying; that she did it while doing a million other things is more or less the Amanda we have all come around to expecting; but the fact that she did this alone is what is so truly mind blowing. I had to use it yesterday and was amazed at the logic that has gone into organising the book.' Amazon reviewer Fantastic book ‘Loved the website as my go to dermatology resource, and the book provides the same great info with plenty of useful pictures.' Amazon reviewer Good text book ‘Very good book with lots of pictures of various skin conditions. Also it is considerably cheaper than most dermatology books.' Amazon reviewer Good read for the subject ‘Very clear explanations.' Amazon reviewer Simple as the name says ‘Good book from the founder of DermnetNZ, Professor Amanda Oakley. The layout is simple and pictures are very good. Good value for money.' Amazon reviewer Five Stars ‘like the website - knowledgable /easy learning and full of good photos.' Amazon reviewer Five Stars ‘love this book. Great illustrations.' Amazon reviewer Lovely and useful ‘Great book.' Amazon reviewer Imagine needing to use DermNetNZ & having no WiFi. Now you know why this book is a must. ‘A fantastic resource. I’m currently in a post where lots of Derm issues pop up daily, leaving me feeling very rusty as I reach back into the vault of medical school memories! It’s well written, the pics are great (including some of people of colour - which is something that is often lacking in Dermatology teaching!) and the reference setup with the ability to search via site, characteristics or context is invaluable. A highly recommended purchase and a resource I know I’m going to come back to again and again no matter the job role or grade.' Amazon reviewer fabulous book ‘Very useful book, managed to identify a wound infection that had been hard to pin point, the pictures are extremely helpful, would recommend to anyone in healthcare.'

Book SynopsisTrade Review Review: Journal of American Academy of Dermatology: June 2017 Dermatology: An illustrated colour text, 6th ed, by Elsevier is the newest edition of the illustrated introductory dermatology text. Dermatology: An illustrated colour text continues to be targeted toward medical students, general practitioners, and early resident trainees with the objective of introducing the diagnosis and management of common dermatologic diseases. It is a concise, well-organized text with significant supplemental online resources to expand the scope of the text. The authors, Drs Gawkrodger and Ardern-Jones, succeed with the newest edition in providing both a readable introductory text and covering a wide range of dermatologic topics. The publication is divided into 3 sections and is comprised of 67 succinct chapters. The first section introduces basic dermatologic principles, including microanatomy, physiology, and basic dermatologic terminology and physical examination taking. The second section comprises the bulk of the publication and is arranged by disease entity with each treated as an educational unit for rapid accessibility. Clinical images and illustrations are excellent and of high quality. The final section describes various special topics in dermatology, including chapters on procedural dermatology, pediatric dermatology, and unique demographics in dermatology, such as pregnancy, geriatric, and skin of color. The online resources include the complete text and review flashcards and chapter self-assessments. The interface is easy to navigate and the learning resources supplement the text well. This text is not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead functions as an accessible reference to introductory dermatology. The authors succeed in this aspect. In an increasingly technological age, supplementation with online content makes the use of this text and its resources more valuable. While the book is non-comprehensive, it serves as a good reference for medical students, nurses, general practitioners, and early dermatology trainees.

Book SynopsisThe interpretation of melanocytic tumors represents probably the most difficult task in the field of dermatopathology. The second edition of this text and atlas depicts a broad range of the most important and most challenging melanocytic lesions. Each individual case is illustrated with at least three high-quality color photographs and is commented on at length, highlighting the diagnostic clues. The goal of the authors is to assist the ordinary pathologist in making a precise workable diagnosis in their daily practice. They achieve this by providing simple criteria that will serve as a sound basis for an unequivocal diagnosis of either a benign or a malignant melanocytic neoplasm. The reader will find Histological Diagnosis of Nevi and Melanoma to be an invaluable guide to correct diagnosis even in difficult or rare cases.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the second edition:“The book provides a logical, practical classification of melanocytic lesions, using the terminology most frequently used in dermatopathology laboratories. … This is a necessary book that provides useful information for both clinicians and pathologists. … This is a unique, comprehensive source of information for melanocytic lesion histopathology, and a likely must have for pathologists, dermatopathologists, and dermatologists.” (Susan M.

Book Synopsis'Empowering and cathartic' – Dr Tracy Cooper, International Consultant on High Sensitivity 'Deeply moving and informative' – Lily Bailey, author As an adolescent, Russell’s face and neck would turn crimson at the slightest thing. In his twenties he began suffering from an extreme form of blushing (idiopathic craniofacial erythema). It sent out all the wrong signals — to friends, family and to the opposite sex. And it triggered something worse: Social Anxiety Disorder. Up to one in 10 people develop this irrational fear of other human beings. From university to the workplace, Russell desperately tried to hide his secret from everyone. In an attempt to be ‘normal,’ he grabbed every remedy going, from drugs to herbs to bottles of absinthe. Through trial and error, he discovered a way to overcome social anxiety and live a fulfilling and rich life. By turns wry and shocking, dark and optimistic, Redface is the eye-opening true story of how one man found his own way forward in a world built for others. It will fascinate readers who are socially anxious, their friends and family, and anyone who wants to know what it’s like to travel to the edge of human experience and back. Read this memoir and discover how to conquer your social anxiety and learn how to be yourself. Reviews 'Immersive and raw in its emotional intensity, Norris's Redface invites us into his private world of avoidance, compensation and adaptation. Ultimately culminating in a deep awareness of himself and the world he moves through, it's empowering and cathartic for everyone who has experienced SAD.' – Dr Tracy Cooper, International Consultant on High Sensitivity 'Deeply moving and informative. I raced through it. Norris's portrayal of the cyclical struggle of Social Anxiety Disorder is stunning. This book is the perfect response to anyone who's ever said "don't we all get anxious about socialising?"' – Lily Bailey, Because We Are Bad: OCD and a Girl Lost in Thought Extract Chapter 1: Closed Door I’m hovering just in front of a closed door. It’s in the office building where I work. I can see through the window of the door into the room beyond it. I’m listening carefully for approaching voices. As soon as another person comes into view, I’ll have to make a snap decision: commit and go through that door or abort and quickly walk away from it, surreptitiously double back at some point, then try to hold my nerve for a second attempt. I’ve been doing this in secret for my entire career and if I could calculate exactly how much time I’ve lost in this state of limbo, all the seconds, minutes and hours spent holding back in hallways or pacing back and forth just behind closed doors, it might add up to a lifetime. And a waste of one. Because there’s nothing out of the ordinary on the other side of those doors. Just the usual setup of any modern workplace. Open plan desks, meeting rooms, breakout sofas, whiteboards, water coolers, tea and coffee points – spaces designed to help people work together. But people is the key word. On the other side of every door there will be people. People I know. People who know me. People I’m about to meet. People who’ve yet to meet me. And once I’m on the other side there’s no turning back. I’ll attend a meeting. A briefing. A brainstorm. Or I’ll run into someone and they’ll stop for some small talk. I’ll start to feel like I’m walking in the glare of a giant magnifying glass, growing hotter and hotter like a beam of sunshine intensifying through a lens. And if I’m not sufficiently prepared for it all, I’ll start to feel something quiver and give way inside. And I’ll know that if I don’t escape to the other side of the door again, to the relative safety of my desk, I’ll fall apart in front of everyone. For just about as long as I can remember, I’ve had Social Anxiety. Not the shyness or self-consciousness everyone feels at one time or another in their lives. Not the nerves you might get before taking a driving test or going on a first date. Not the butterflies that start fluttering in your stomach before you stand up and give a speech. What lives deep inside me is an inexhaustible phobia of any social interaction. It creeps across all situations and all people, from the ordinarily stressful stuff like giving a presentation or having a job interview, to everyday things like buying groceries or speaking to a stranger on the phone. Presentations and interviews are nervous moments for most people: they put you at the centre of attention, while other people evaluate your performance. But the man working the checkout in Sainsbury’s? The woman taking my pizza order over the phone? Are they putting me in the spotlight, assessing my social performance? No, they’re not. But I feel anxious dealing with them nonetheless. Big events, small events, everything in between: they all distress me in ways I can’t control. Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is formally classed as a mental disorder, which affects millions of people worldwide – and up to 10% of the UK population. It can manifest itself in many ways. Symptoms often surface as secondary phobias, ranging from a fear of eating or writing in front of others to a fear of being watched in a public bathroom. For me, social anxiety plays out on my skin... Its symptom is called Idiopathic Craniofacial Erythema, which means uncontrollable and unprovoked facial blushing. They are the evil twins who constantly embarrass me. When I blush it’s involuntary and I have no control over it. What will stop the blushing? The absence of people. Will there ever be a world without people? No. Will I try to create that world for myself? Yes. I have to. I will withdraw and avoid human contact whenever I can. If you have social anxiety, this book is for you. If you’ve never heard of social anxiety, this book is for you. I’ve been quietly avoiding people all my life, hesitating behind a door. But I’m pushing that door wide open now. And I’m coming through it. To talk to you. Order now and start reading. Trade Review'Deeply moving and informative – I raced through it. Norris’s portrayal of the cyclical struggle of social anxiety disorder is stunning. This book is the perfect response to anyone who’s ever said 'Don’t we all get anxious about socialising?'' – Lily Bailey, author of Because We Are Bad'Deeply immersive and raw in its emotional intensity. Norris’ Redface invites us into his private world of avoidance, compensation, and adaptation only to captivate us with his struggle with Social Anxiety Disorder... empowering and cathartic for everyone who has experienced SAD.'– Dr Tracy Cooper, International Consultant on High Sensitivity'An honest, brave and much needed account of what it feels like to live with severe social anxiety. Having a male writer dealing so openly with topics like social anxiety, shyness, introversion and sensitivity is sadly all too rare and makes this book all the more of a triumph.' – Tom Falkenstein, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & author of The Highly Sensitive Man'Having struggled with social anxiety, and blushing in particular, I found Redface to be extremely comforting. SAD can be incredibly isolating. However, Russell’s words gave me insight, as well as hope, at a time when I really needed it. 'Blushing is an issue that affects so many people, and yet is rarely talked about. For Russell to write so openly and frankly about his own experiences is bold and courageous. I’ve absolutely no doubt that Redface has, and will continue to, help many, many people around the world whose lives are blighted by social anxiety disorder. 'I would urge anyone who suffers with chronic blushing to read Redface. It is the most relatable book on SAD, and mental health in general, that I have ever had the privilege of reading.'— Jonny Benjamin, a mental health campaigner in the UKTable of ContentsCONTENTS 1.

Book SynopsisIn the 21st century, there has been a vast explosion in new information relating to the art and science of dermatology as well as fundamental cutaneous biology. Furthermore, this information is no longer exclusive to the interests of the small, but growing, specialty of dermatology. Clinicians and scientists from a wide variety of disciplines have recognized the broad implications of cutanous lesions in systemic diseases. At present, there is a multidisciplinary and worldwide interest in the progress of dermatology. It is difficult for most fully-booked physicians to spend too much time on searching secondary data for the textbook mentioned; this kind of literature-searching job is very time-consuming and remains somewhat incomplete. It should be very helpful to have textbook-matched handbooks with expanded information from topic-oriented experts. With these factors in mind, we have undertaken this series of books which are specifically oriented toward the advances of dermatology. The scope of the series is purposely broad, with books ranging from pure basic science to practical, applied and clinical dermatology. Thus, while there is something for everyone, all volumes in the series will ultimately prove to be valuable additions to a dermatologist''s library. The book consists of 22 chapters prepared by authors from 9 countries between five continents. The organization of this international editorial group has ensured global opinions, avoided regional bias and racial preferences. The topics covered in this book are the core of dermatology: from the fundamental changes of skin biology to newly developed technologies and treatments. What makes this book quite unique is the inclusion of Chinese medicine, telemedicine and biologics.

Book SynopsisScleroderma means hardening of the skin, due to a malfunction of the vascular and immune system resulting in the overproduction of collagen (a protein substance found in the body''s connective tissue). In this second edition of The Scleroderma Book, Dr Maureen Mayes - the leading authority in the field - draws on her extensive experience treating scleroderma to provide up-to-date, practical information that will help patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.Scleroderma can be localized (small patches of hardened skin, which tend to clear up over time), but may become systemic with excess collagen building up in various organs such as the oesophagus, kidneys, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart skin, and peripheral nervous system. The disorder most commonly occurs in women between the ages of 20 and 40. However, men and children can be affected as well. The disease is not contagious and is not thought to be inherited and currently, there is no known cure.WritingTrade Review"Dr. Mayes' book is the ultimate resource for patients and their families seeking to gain a better understanding of this complex disease. Her compassion and dedication for her patients is evident throughout the book, from her easy-to-understand description of scleroderma and its manifestations, to more personal subjects such as depression, lifestyle changes, and patient-physician relationships. She promotes further understanding by the use of case studies that patients can easily relate to. If education is the key to alleviating anxiety, making patients more effective partners in their care, and providing a more positive way of coping with scleroderma, then every patient, family member, caregiver, and friend needs this book." --Carolyn Weller, RN, Vice President Education & Research, Scleroderma Foundation "This is a comprehensive but easy-to-read book that I would recommend for all people with scleroderma and their families to read, and then use as a reference. Dr. Mayes has provided a thorough description of the multiple aspects of scleroderma and addresses questions about symptoms, investigations, treatment, and coping with scleroderma. I rate it a 10 out of 10!" --Dr. Janet Pope, MD, MPH, FRCPC, Professor of Medicine, Rheumatologist, Epidemiologist and Scleroderma Specialist, St. Joseph's Health Care, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada "This easily understandable book describes the background of scleroderma and how scleroderma can affect a person. It is of great value to patients who have been recently diagnosed with the disease and also to those who have suffered longer. The last section, on coping with scleroderma, although short, should be particularly useful for patients learning to live with scleroderma." --Daniel E. Furst, MD, Carl M. Pearson Professor of Rheumatology, Director of Clinical Research, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA "Dr. Mayes' book is the ultimate resource for patients and their families seeking to gain a better understanding of this complex disease.

If education is the key to alleviating anxiety, making patients more effective partners in their care, and providing a more positive way of coping with scleroderma, then every patient, family member, caregiver, and friend needs this book." --Carolyn Weller, RN, Vice President Education & Research, Scleroderma Foundation "This is a comprehensive but easy-to-read book that I would recommend for all people with scleroderma and their families to read, and then use as a reference. Dr. Mayes has provided a thorough description of the multiple aspects of scleroderma and addresses questions about symptoms, investigations, treatment, and coping with scleroderma. I rate it a 10 out of 10!" --Dr. Janet Pope, MD, MPH, FRCPC, Professor of Medicine, Rheumatologist, Epidemiologist and Scleroderma Specialist, St. Joseph's Health Care, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada "This easily understandable book describes the background of scleroderma and how scleroderma can affect a person. It is of great value to patients who have been recently diagnosed with the disease and also to those who have suffered longer. The last section, on coping with scleroderma, although short, should be particularly useful for patients learning to live with scleroderma." --Daniel E. Furst, MD, Carl M.

Book SynopsisSkin health has taken center stage for health care practitioners and patients alike. Not only has skin cancer quickly become the number one form of cancer in the United States, with 3.5 million cancers diagnosed in over 2 million patients annually, but concerns about sun protection and healthy aging have dominated both public media and individual patient concerns. As the largest and most visible organ, the skin displays all evidence of health and vitality, both real and perceived, thereby conferring a tremendous amount of psychological burden on those afflicted with cutaneous ailments. Clinicians are thus charged with the important task of caring for the whole person, mentally as well as physically, to achieve therapeutic success. Integrative Dermatology is the first comprehensive text in this growing field which strives to examine and combine best practices from both traditional medicine as well as complementary and alternative healing modalities such as: diet, supplements, and mind-body medicine. The book presents key concepts for synthesizing the best, comprehensive care plan for each individualized and contextualized dermatology patient.Table of Contents1.
