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.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Autoimmune Bullous Diseases: Text and Review
Book SynopsisThis extensively revised new edition provides a quick study and reference guide for physicians who treat patients with autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs), the most life-threatening inflammatory diseases of the skin. AIBDs are rare, comprising less than 1% of the dermatological patients and as such, they are often given little focus in general dermatology literature, despite being complicated and demanding diseases to manage. Chapters cover the latest developments in diagnostic assays and the use of pemphigoids. New contributions include how AIBD affects children and the care of wounds in instances of blistering disease from the perspective of a nurse practitioner. Autoimmune Bullous Diseases: Text and Review is written in a direct and simple style with tables and figures to illustrate this difficult field practically. At the end of each chapter the reader is challenged to check the learned matter with multiple-choice questions, while it contains protocols and follows international guidelines, making it suitable study material for courses on autoimmune bullous diseases. Residents and researchers in dermatology and adjacent disciplines will find this book useful as a quick guide when dealing with these patients.Table of ContentsBasic Principles of the Immune System and AutoimmunityDermatological examination of bullous diseasesHow to take a biopsyDirect Immunofluorescence MicroscopyIndirect Immunofluorescence MicroscopyImmuno-assaysStructure of DesmosomesPemphigus vulgarisPemphigus foliaceusParaneoplastic pemphigusIgA PemphigusDrug-induced pemphigusStructure of hemidesmosomes and the epidermal basement membrane zonePemphigoid Diseases Affecting the SkinMucous membrane pemphigoidEpidermolysis bullosa acquisitaBullous systemic lupus erythematosusLinear IgA bullous dermatosisDrug-induced Pemphigoid and Linear IgA DiseaseDermatitis herpetiformisStevens Johnson syndrome / toxic epidermal necrolysis and erythema exsudativum multiformePorphyria Cutanea Tarda and Pseudoporphyria Bullous dermatitis artefactaAutoimmune bullous diseases in childhood Wound care in autoimmune bullous diseases Appendix: Patient support groups and international centers for AIBD

Nova Science Publishers Inc Cutaneous Scars: Biology, Clinics and Management
Book SynopsisAny cutaneous insult results in wound healing and wound healing results in formation of a scar. Human cutaneous scars represent a very important problem in clinical practice. Human cutaneous scars cause both cosmetic and medical problems in people who have them. There are various types of human cutaneous scars: physiologic normotrophic scars, atrophic scars, and proliferative scars. Additionally, there are scar complications that physicians must deal with. Scar complications include unstable scars, contractures and even development of malignancy at worst. Treatment of scars is also challenging especially in case of development of abnormal scars. Human cutaneous scars have various aspects of interest such as biology, clinical significance, patient perspective, prevention, and treatment. There are various preclinical models for studying them. Scarless healing is another item of interest that is observed in fetal wound healing and in some animals. There are various studies specifically examining the biology and the treatment of proliferative scars. The cutaneous scars are very common so every physician will face a cutaneous scar-related problem in his/her medical practice. The significance is indicated by the frequency of burn injury and traffic accidents and by the importance of incision scars for any surgeon. The editors of this book have enormous experience in the clinical management of human cutaneous scars. The editors also studied the biology of abnormal scarring by developing new animal models. The editors also have performed clinical studies to increase therapeutic options for the treatment of abnormal scars. In this hardcover book, the aim is to examine human cutaneous scars in every aspect: historical aspects, clinical significance, biology, laboratory and animal models, histopathology, scarless healing, scar complications, and treatment. In this book, all the available treatment methods are examined in detail.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at:https://novapublishers.com/shop/cutaneous-scars-biology-clinics-and-management/

Nova Science Publishers Inc Progress in Skin Cancer Research
Book SynopsisThree types of skin cancer account for nearly 100% of all diagnosed cases. Each of these three cancers begins in a different type of cell within the skin, and each cancer is named for the type of cell in which it begins. Skin cancers are divided into one of two classes -- non-melanoma skin cancers and melanoma. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. The different types of skin cancer are: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC); Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC); Melanoma. All other skin cancers combined account for less than 1% of diagnosed cases. These are classified as non-melanoma skin cancers and include Merkel cell carcinoma, dermatofibromasarcoma protuberans, Paget''s disease and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. This book examines the latest research in this field.

Nova Science Publishers Inc New Research on Cutaneous Lymphomas
Book SynopsisCutaneous lymphoid infiltrates which are suspicious for lymphoma, are always important challenges for the general pathologist who faces them occasionally. Many times they are also difficult even for the dermatopathologist, and the most modern diagnostic weapons sometimes play a crucial role in the differential diagnosis with other non-malignant entities, as well as between the different types of lymphomas. Clinically, they sometimes simulate many other conditions, and are not always easy to be recognise by the dermatologist. In 2005, a new classification of cutaneous lymphomas was published, in an attempt to achieve a better comprehension of the nature and behaviour of these tumours. Nevertheless, many new aspects of pathogenesis, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, are constantly appearing in medical literature. This current book is an attempt to present to the reader, the field of cutaneous lymphomas in a way that can be useful in daily practice, either as a general surgical pathologist, a dermatologist, or a dermatopathologist. At the same time, the reader will find updated information which will probably be very helpful in order to face confidently most of the difficult clinical and histopathologic cases. The book goes through most of the cutaneous lymphomas in systematic order, either B-cell, T-cell, or Hodgkin type, presenting the clinical, and morphological aspects, which include many of the most recent molecular contributions. Many of the chapters also provide a therapeutic approach.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Dermal Fibroblasts: Histological Perspectives,
Book SynopsisDermal fibroblasts are the most numerous cells within the dermal layer of skin. The main function of fibroblasts is to preserve the structural integrity of skin through constantly secreting extracellular matrix. Various factors diversely affect the secretion activities of fibroblasts and may lead to varying disease processes (eg: solar damage and wrinkles). This book gathers important cutting-edge research in the field of fibroblasts covering characterisation of fibroblasts and their roles in multiple disease processes such as hypertrophic scarring, ageing/photoaging, diabetic wound healing, cancer, and pachydermoperiostosis. In addition, the chapters also deal with the stem cell-like properties of fibroblasts, which sheds new light on the commonly used definition of fibroblasts and provides novel insights into many past studies performed with fibroblast preparations, since the reported effects might be greatly attributable to stem cell content within these fibroblasts. Additionally, this book features an introduction of the reprogramming of dermal fibroblasts into patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that can be converted into varying terminally differentiated cells. Application of iPSCs is a rapidly developing research field because reprogrammed iPSCs from dermal fibroblasts provides a great tool for studying molecular mechanisms of disease, development, and tissue regeneration. This book is certain to have broad appeal and should provide a useful resource for researchers, students, teachers, and physicians interested in the field.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Botulinum Toxin in Dermatology: A Clinical
Book SynopsisEven those clinicians who feel themselves far from aesthetic dermatology now recognise that BoNT-A is an extraordinary tool in their therapeutic armamentarium for treating complex disorders such as focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis. This has opened a therapeutic scenario for a group of patients very difficult to treat previously. Since the introduction of BoNT-A in the dermatological therapeutic armamentarium, in 1990, things have changed to the point that any dermatologist should now have knowledge of BoNT-A basics, and the practicalities of BoNT-A vial reconstitution and injection. Moreover, in the last years, a widespread availability of multiple different commercially available forms of BoNT-A has been for sale, thus the clinicians must now really know and consider the advantages and disadvantages of the different available products. These would include dosing/duration, immunogenicity, and spread of effect. What has not changed over the years is the safety profile of BoNT-A. The knowledge regarding its side effects and complications have greatly increased, confirming that, despite the attempts of some individuals to assert otherwise, BoNT-A remains one of the safest forms of treatment available to us as physicians. This edited collection provides a comprehensive practical guide on the use of botulinum toxin in several dermatological disorders, including focal idiopathic, axillary, palmar and plantar, craniofacial or segmental hyperhidrosis, chrono-aging, hidradenitis, and gives some suggestion on the use of BoNT-A for the treatment of several orphan skin diseases, not responding to conventional treatments like benign Hailey-Hiley disease, lichen simplex, osmidrosis. Using clear explanations, simple line drawings, diagrams and clinical pictures, it provides suggestions to improve practical knowledge on the use of BTX-A in dermatology. Hot topics include practical information for clinicians regarding the correct counselling of the patients to be treated; methods and ready to use tests to select patients to be treated; the optimal dosage and dilution according to the site of injection and the indication of use; the relevant injection sites for each condition; the correct technique of injection in the different areas of body surface; comparative dosage tables for the various formulations of toxin used; how to manage and prevent side effects related to the use of BoNT-A; common pitfalls and how to optimize outcomes; timing for the follow-up of treated patients. The authors hope that this book may be a starting point for the use of a drug that is still growing, and a useful tool for those clinicians who want to improve their knowledge about the use of BoNT-A in dermatology.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Sunscreens: Properties, Role in Skin Cancer
Book SynopsisThe skin is composed of three layers of differentiated tissues. The most external layer is the epidermis, followed by the dermis and the hypodermis, which is the most internal layer of the skin. The increasing incidence of skin cancer has led international health authorities to recommend protection measures to prevent the harmful effects of skin exposure to UV-radiation. Such measures include avoidance of sun exposure, especially at times when disease-inducing wavelengths are more intense, wearing protective clothing and use of topical sunscreens. This book discusses the various properties of sunscreens, the role sunscreens play in skin cancer, and other health effects for individuals using sunscreens.

Nova Science Publishers Inc New Skin Toxicities for New Anticancer Therapies
Book SynopsisTargeted cancer therapies have revolutionised the therapeutic management of many neoplasms, modifying patients'' prognosis and overall survival. These drugs block the cancer''s growth and spread by interfering with specific molecules which play a crucial role in the proliferation, differentiation and survival of cancer cells. Targeted therapies act selectively on specific molecular targets related to cancers, whereas most of the conventional chemotherapies act on all rapidly dividing normal and neoplastic cells. Moreover, targeted therapies are often cytostatic and non-cytotoxic as standard chemotherapies. Taken together, these aspects appear important in reducing systemic toxicity and ensuring an improved safety profile. The inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular growth factor (VEGF) and BRAF represents major achievements in research and development of solid tumour''s epithelial therapy. This class of biologics is currently widely used in the treatment of metastatic and unresponsive neoplasms of the colon, pancreas, lung, (NSCLC), breast, head and neck and melanoma. This book aims to emphasize skin toxicity associated with EGFR-, VEGF- and BRAF- inhibitors, focusing particularly on their clinical presentation, histopathological findings, and specific therapeutic options.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Superficial Mycoses: An Overview
Book SynopsisThe book is an extensive overview in the topic of superficial mycoses. The book deliberates on human fungi kingdom, pathogenesis of different superficial mycological diseases, its classical clinical manifestations and the variants clinical forms, with an emphasis on the relevant differential diagnosis, which sometimes might be confused with superficial mycoses. The book is written in a very practical approach accompanied with images and relevant explanations. The book has two main goals. First, to provide broad information regarding superficial dermatomycological diseases. In addition, it gives emphasis on correct diagnosis, focusing on precise and relevant interpretation of mycological laboratory analysis in order to prevent over-diagnosis and misinterpretation of the disease. The clinical approach -- practically -- is necessary for having correct diagnosis. The final diagnosis will be supported by using the standard laboratory analysis. A unique chapter elaborates widely on laboratory analysis, combined with relevant interpretation of the mycological results. This is due to many different saprophytes fungi which are irrelevant to skin diseases and might be interpreted as relevant, by mistake. Other laboratories techniques are discussed widely as well. The different approaches for mycological analysis are elaborated including the interpretation of false positive and false negative results. Other skin disorders such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and/or many other nails disorders which could be accompanied with relevant or irrelevant different fungi are discussed widely accompanied with very impressive clinical pictures and explanations of how and when to suspect combined disorders. Topical and systemic anti fungi treatment is listed clearly, focusing on the different antifungal mechanisms of each antifungal family. Drug interactions/contra-indications between the antifungal drug/s and other common drugs are presented in detail as well as the possible side effects of the antifungal drugs. New different drugs and devices such as lasers, photo dynamic therapy (PDT), and drilling of the nails also are examined.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Skin Aging & Photoaging: Physiology, Clinical
Book SynopsisSkin aging is the result of two distinct, biological processes which may occur concurrently: extrinsic and intrinsic aging. The first chapter of this book focuses on the anti-skin aging effects of natural products, such as polyphenols and terpenes using topical application and oral administration. Future prospects for this field of research will focus on natural products combined with molecular techniques to help maximize the desired anti-skin aging benefits. The second chapter provides a brief review of skin characteristics, skin aging mechanisms and dermal applications. The next chapter of the book reviews the types of pollution and external aggression that skin is exposed to and reviews recently published studies that report that cumulative exposure to the five daily environmental aggressors (pollution, sun, cold, heat and wind) increase this skin damage. The remaining chapters review the role of inflammation in regulation of skin aging; the relevant methods, the physiological structure and function of the Stratum Corneum, as well as the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic aging on these parameters; the physiology of skin photoaging and the emerging therapies for combating photoaging and photocarcingenesis; and the biological effects and the latest findings on the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factors (MIF) in photoaging following UV exposure.

Nova Science Publishers Inc Inflammatory Markers, Oncogenes, Tumor Suppressor
Book SynopsisInflammatory markers, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and cell cycle regulators in skin growths represent a series of reports and reviews on skin cancers and precancers, their host immune responses and correlations with medical literature data. We were able to clearly identify an immune response in multiple skin cancers, as well as in cutaneous pre-cancerous conditions. In poorly differentiated tumor areas, some classic immunohistochemical stains did not stain as frequently described in the literature. Other important phenomena we observed are that many cell cycle regulators, cell cycle checkpoints, oncogenes and tumor suppressor gene markers were not only positive inside the tumors, but also in cells around the tumor. Portions of adjacent skin appendices and in supposedly normal adjacent epidermal and dermal tissue also showed signs of these components. These common findings raised questions concerning marginal definition of cutaneous surgery; that is, many of the immunologic findings could not be correlated on classical hematoxylin and eosin reviews. We also noted that many immunologic cells around skin cancers and/or pre-cancers showed high rates of division defined via markers such as Ki-67; our findings utilizing double color immunohistochemistry also showed that these immune cells are possibly actively duplicating as effector cells. Ki-67 has been cited as a superb proliferation marker in melanoma, but additional review of its utility is warranted given our results. Finally, we also found double staining immunohistochemistry to be of excellent value in detecting melanoma cells metastasizing in blood vessels, lymphatics and/or nerves.

Bradventures LLC The Hidden Plague: A Holistic Field Guide to
Book SynopsisThis is the new paperback version of the bestselling hardcover edition that has helped thousands of sufferers turn their health around. Read the couple hundred amazon reviews attached to the now out-of-print hardcover book. You be touched deeply by the level of suffering and frustration that people have endured, then achieved rapid results by following holistic plan presented in the Hidden Plague. Have you been plagued with boils, cysts, ingrown hairs, and acne-like bumps that take months to resolve, leave embarrassing scars, and cause considerable pain? Have you been to the doctor, only to leave with a prescription for antibiotics, few answers, and little to no hope? Hidradenitis supprativa (HS) is a poorly understood skin condition that is believed to affect nearly twelve million people in the United States alone. Only a small fraction of those affected have been properly diagnosed, leaving many others to suffer in silence or pursue ill-advised conventional treatment methods that fail to address the cause of this painful condition. Tara Grant, a twenty-year sufferer of HS, has become an underground legend to her Internet community of HS victims by presenting a methodical, self-tested action plan to heal naturally. The centerpiece of her holistic approach rests on the understanding that HS is an autoimmune disorder caused by leaky gut syndrome. With a few simple dietary changes that eliminate certain trigger' foods, you can heal your gut, restore your skin, reclaim your health, and rid yourself of HS symptoms forever. That means no antibiotics, no experimental surgeries, and no more pain, suffering, or confusion. You will learn to adopt a big picture perspective about disease and dysfunction, and understand how autoimmunity (the body attacking itself in an adverse manner) represents the root cause of many frustrating chronic health conditions. By modifying your diet and other lifestyle habits, you can break free from the suffering, frustration and uncertainty that seems to go hand in hand with autoimmune conditions and skin conditions like HS in particular. Author Tara Grant has synthesized years of research, personal trial and error and cutting edge functional medicine and dietary strategies to give you a simple, do-able action plan to clean up your diet and clean up your skin. The Hidden Plague is a fabulous and comprehensive resource for not just HS specifically, but many other related inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
