Book SynopsisWritten by one of the very few pathologists who has real expertise in this field, this book is a comprehensive key for the identification of fungal infections in tissues. With updated terminology and presentation, all invasive mycoses-types are covered, detailing their epidemiology, pathology, histomorphology of fungal elements, and differential diagnoses. Each of the separate fungal groups has a good combination of text and high-quality illustrations which is a critical feature for clinicians to state the mycopathological diagnoses.Key Features:1. Elaborates on the histological observations of both the pathological reaction and the histomorphology of fungal elements, guiding the reader in the right direction for obtaining a diagnosis of the infection.2. Includes key observations that can be a game-changer for infectious diseases specialists and histopathologists studying the combination of fungal morphology and host response.3. Follows a logical layout, structureTrade ReviewWith his 1st edition of Histopathologic Diagnosis of Invasive Mycoses, Henrik Elvang Jensen introduced what has the potential to become a standard reading for early-career as well as experienced pathologists. Colleagues from other specialties will benefit from this reading, as this book not only succeeds in educating on how to diagnose fungal diseases based on histopathological findings but also in providing a comprehensive overview on the diversity of fungal diseases in patients with a wide range of underlying diseases. Henrik Elvang Jensen has taken on a challenging task to provide experienced and inexperienced clinicians with a comprehensive but concise handbook about histopathological diagnosis in mycology. Timely diagnosis of fungal infection, assessment of invasiveness and the identification of the causative pathogen are key for tailored therapeutic decision making that will save lives. Histopathology is an essential part in diagnostics, usually the first stop on the road to a confirmed diagnosis.With the growing number of patients at risk for fungal infections and the expanding spectrum of causative fungal pathogens, it becomes more and more pressing to train pathologists adequately to be aware of a possible fungal infection and how to differentiate fungal infections from other more commonly suspected findings, especially in patients with co morbidities. A vital task, considering the high mortality rates in respective patients. Due to the general low incidence of most fungal diseases, gaining hands-on experience in identifying and morphological differentiating fungal diseases is rather difficult for pathologists and requires years-long training.This book guides the reader through the ever-growing armamentarium of fungal infections, each chapter devoted to one fungal disease and its histopathological features. As diverse as the patient populations at risk for fungal infections and the causative fungal pathogens are, as diverse are the clinical and consequently morphological manifestations these infections come in. Jensen allows the reader to look over his shoulder while he lays out the disease-specific changes in cell and tissue morphology and architecture, fungus by fungus, disease by disease. In high-resolution images he presents and explains characteristic histopathological findings in tissue sections dyed with one or more stains, moving his microscope from superficial to invasive infections, from the most common infections including aspergillosis, candidosis, cryptococcosis, coccidioidomycosis and histoplasmosis to the less common and rare infections, from omnipresent to endemic infections.Jensen’s many years of experience in pathology and his passion for mycology allows him to provide the reader with this structured overview that will help generations of pathologists to further improve their skills in spotting the often-overlooked fungal bodies and interpret the composition of cells in this context in any tissue, in any patient. A must-have for every microbiologist, pathologist and infectious diseases physician.Danila Seidel PhD and Oliver A.

Book SynopsisIn the innovative field of cosmetic dermatology, the range of products and methods available to patients is expanding all the time. Prominent among these are facial fillers, which, when injected into and beneath the skin, help alleviate wrinkles and improve smoothness. However, the many fillers on offer have varying characteristics and effects, and practitioners must be properly trained in order to administer them safely and successfully. Injectable Fillers offers those performing these popular procedures an in-depth and far-reaching survey of current best practices, with a strong emphasis on safety. Covering everything from the science behind facial fillers to their appropriate means of application, the book places each product in context, demonstrating the pros and cons of the expanding range of hyaluronic acids and calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, and exploring injectable submental fat reduction with sodium deoxycholate.

Book SynopsisA consummate classic with a fresh approach to pediatric dermatology Children''s skin is different. Maturation affects the epidermal barrier, the cutaneous microbiome, adnexal structures, vasculature, and transcutaneous absorption of drugs. The immature skin is more susceptible to pathogens and environmental disruption. Many genetic disorders are either present at birth or manifest early in childhood. Skin diseases thus present differently in children than in adults. Pediatric dermatology has seen significant advances over the last decade, particularly in the field of molecular genetics research, which has furthered our understanding of the pathogenesis of many skin diseases and the development of new approaches to treatment. This fourth edition of the Harper classic provides state-of-the-art information on all aspects of skin disease in children.

Book SynopsisThe appearance of our skin and hair has a huge impact on our psychological wellbeing and confidence. Women feel pressure to have glowing, blemish-free skin, and thick, luscious hair at all times - in reality, our skin is a dynamic living organ which reacts to hormonal changes across the lifecycle, from puberty to the menopause. When our skin does not look healthy, and when our hair is thin or falling out, we want to understand why, and what we can do about it. We can spend large amounts on different creams and beauty products, or cover the problem with makeup, but ultimately the question most asked by women, and unanswered by skincare regimes, is 'could this be hormonal?' The answer is, of course, 'yes' - and if you read this book, you'll know exactly how and why. By giving you a better understanding of the relationship between your hormones, and common skin and hair problems, Dr Mandy Leonhardt will help you find lasting solutions wha
