Hives usually cause itching, but may also burn or sting. They can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, or ears; and they vary in size (from a pencil eraser to a dinner plate), and may join together to form larger areas known as plaques. They can last for hours, or up to one day before fading. This book comprises 33 different urticaria cases from renowned authors at worldwide Urticaria Centres of Reference and Excellence (UCARE). Each case presents patient history and examination, investigation, and diagnosis and management. Clinical images and figures further enhance each case description.

Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive, practical guide to the latest developments in the understanding and management of atopic dermatitis. Detailed information is provided on age-specific clinical symptoms, features, and diagnostic methods. Current theories on the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis are closely examined, with attention to the roles played by genetic, allergic, immunologic, and skin barrier dysfunctions. In the second half of the book, the scientific background to and the practical use of the full range of treatment methods are described, covering topical agents, systemic agents, phototherapy, allergen-specific immunotherapy, and the most recently developed biologics and small molecules. This textbook will be an excellent guide to diagnosis and treatment for not only dermatologists but also practitioners in allergy and general medicine, including pediatricians, allergists, and primary care physicians. In addition, it will be of value for all scientists interested in developing new drugs for atopic dermatitis.Table of Contents1. Overviews of atopic dermatitis.- 2. Clinical manifestations.- 3.

Book SynopsisPhototherapy, or the usage of light to treat diseases, is an important modality in a physician's therapeutic armamentarium. It is effective for a number of common skin conditions like atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and vitiligo. The accurate diagnosis of a photodermatosis or light-related skin disorder relies on a good clinical history and physical examination, supported by diagnostic investigations such as phototesting.Phototherapy and Photodiagnostic Methods for the Practitioner is the first published set of practical guidelines for Asian skin, drawing upon our cumulative clinical experience with phototherapy for various conditions at the National Skin Centre in Singapore, amalgamated with up-to-date evidence from the scientific literature. It is designed to serve as a concise and comprehensive reference manual for dermatologists, as well as clinicians, medical physicists and nurses with an interest in photodiagnostic investigations and phototherapy for the evaluation and treatment of skin disorders.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Phototherapy; Nursing Considerations in Phototherapy; Narrowband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy; Combined Ultraviolet A/Narrowband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy; Psoralen-Ultraviolet A Photochemotherapy; Ultraviolet A-1 Phototherapy; Excimer Light Phototherapy; Photodynamic Therapy; Phototesting; Photopatch Testing; Photoprovocation Testing; Minimal Erythema Dose Testing Dosimetry; Minimal Phototoxic Dose Testing Dosimetry; Photopatch Testing Series; Evidence Grading for Recommendations;

Book SynopsisLaser has been used in dermatology for over four decades. The concept of selective photothermolysis has transformed our understanding of laser tissue interactions, and there has been an explosive interest in laser treatment for both skin diseases and aesthetic indications over the past decade or more.Asian skin differs from Caucasian skin because of the higher amount of epidermal melanosomes and the higher level of melanin production. Laser- and light-based procedures in darker skin types have a significantly higher risk of complications, including scarring and pigmentary changes as compared with lighter skin types. This book has been highly anticipated as there are not many titles addressing these issues in Asian skin. It includes effective treatment paradigms as well as advice on complications and how to treat them. The book reflects the tremendous progress in the field of laser dermatology. The contributors to this textbook are clinicians with extensive experience in treating Asian skin. The book offers a comprehensive guide to treatment of Asian skin and will be of great value to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, pediatricians and general practitioners, who will benefit from the clinical wisdom that has been distilled from the extensive experience of the editors and contributors.Table of ContentsLaser and Light-Tissue Interactions (M Ee); Laser Safety (S-N Wong); Carbon Dioxide Laser Surgery in the Asian Skin (C Kwok); Vascular Lasers in the Asian Skin (Y-C Chan); Treatment of Pigmented Lesions in the Asian Skin (Y-K Tay); Laser Treatment of Tattoos (E Tan); Laser Hair Removal in the Asian Skin (R S-P Lim); Ablative Laser Resurfacing in the Asian Skin (C-L Goh); Nonablative Laser Photorejuvenation in the Asian Skin (Por-Ang); Fractionated Lasers in the Asian Skin (S-H Chua); Intense Pulsed Light Devices in the Asian Skin (J T-E Lim); Photodynamic Therapy in the Asian Skin (C T-S Theng).
