Dermatology is one of the most challenging branches of medicine, as diagnosis mostly relies on the morphology of the lesions. In this regard, relevant differences based on the patient’s phototype exist, and recognizing this variability increases diagnostic accuracy. This richly illustrated atlas with over 900 original illustrations, gathers the pioneering experience of international experts, and provides a detailed insight into the clinical and dermoscopic presentation of inflammatory, infiltrative and infectious dermatoses as well as hair and nail disorders for both fair and dark skin, pointing out any relevant differences according to the skin tone. This handy volume, which also includes still unpublished details and less common dermatological conditions, is intended to support the clinical practice of physicians primarily dealing with either light or dark skin and will be of help in a multiethnic context, growingly common in our globalized world. Written for dermatologists, dermato-pathologists, residents and anyone performing dermoscopy, this atlas will be a valued companion for the effective diagnosis of various skin, hair and nail disorders across the wide skin color spectrum.)

Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, widely used diagnostic tool that aids the diagnosis of skin lesions and is proven to increase the accuracy of melanoma diagnosis. This atlas is a comprehensive guide to dermoscopy for practising dermatologists and trainees. Beginning with an introduction to the principles of dermoscopy and an explanation of the parts and types of dermoscope, the next chapter covers dermoscopic histopathological correlation. The following sections cover common dermatological conditions, including hair and nail disorders. Numerous dermoscopic images with markings showing key features clearly illustrate each disorder. Differences in dermoscopic characteristics of fair skin and darker skin types are highlighted.

This book describes the use of dermatoscopy to diagnose a wide spectrum of non-pigmented skin diseases. This is particularly important as the absence of pigment renders these lesions particularly challenging to diagnose. The book uses clinical cases, modeling when a dermatologist is presented with a patient presenting with non-pigmented lesions. Dermatoscopy opens a new and very wide field of skin appearance that cannot be seen with the naked eye and, with appropriate training and the use of this book, improves clinical diagnosis of non-pigmented lesions. Dermatoscopic Atlas of Non-Pigmented Lesions: Case-based Analysis and Management Options adds significantly to the analysis of cases from the editors’ previous volumes by teaching the technique through specially selected, complex and interesting clinical cases and providing the reader a thorough understanding of the techniques and methodologies associated with diagnosis using dermatoscopy. This book represents a valuable addition to pre-existing literature and enhance clinicians to expand their dermatoscopic skills and improve their daily practice.

This atlas is a comprehensive guide to interventional pain management procedures. Divided into 11 sections, the book begins with an overview of the subject, covering radiological anatomy, common image-guided procedures, radiation protection, MRI, protocols, and more. Each of the following sections covers procedures for pain management in different parts on the body, including head and neck, cervical spine, chest and thorax, lumbosacral spine; as well as neuromodulation, and peripheral and sympathetic blocks. The final chapters examine ultrasound guided block and ultrasound guided dry needling. Presented in bullet point style, each topic follows a step by step approach, explaining indications, contraindications, equipment, and procedural techniques. Edited by recognised experts from India, the UK and the US, and with contributions from leading international experts, this book is highly illustrated with radiological images and figures. Access to procedural videos via a QR code is also included with the atlas.

This book aims to provide readers with practical information on the procedure of streamline skin disease recognition with the use of dermoscopy. The first three chapters are mainly focused on the basic knowledge of dermoscopy, such as its history, how it works, the terminology. In the following chapters, the clinical photographs, dermoscopic images and histopathologic images of benign melanocytic neoplasms, malignant melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, seborrheic keratosis and related diseases, vascular diseases, squamous cell neoplasms and other neoplasms are presented in a case-based format. The clinical characteristics are introduced briefly, and the dermoscopic features are highlighted with a number of pictures. The chapter 12 to chapter 14 introduce the dermoscopic appearance of inflammatory skin diseases, infectious and parasitic skin diseases, hair and nail diseases, respectively, which is the extended application of dermoscopy. Last but not least, the development and future of articifial intellegence assisted diagnosis based on dermoscopic images is introduced. Written by dermatologists who have been involved in dermoscopic diagnosis for a long time, this case-based book will be a valuable reference for dermatologists and those who are interested in related field.

Dermoscopy can be a useful tool to evaluate skin of color for general dermatologic diseases; however, it does require practitioners to be aware of many points of difference from patients with lighter phototypes. This highly illustrated text brings together the pioneering experience of international experts to document patients of phototypes IV to VI (from subcontinental Asian, North African, South American, to African skin).

Bringing together thousands of the best dermatologic clinical and pathological photographs and figures from researchers and scientists around the world, this volume focuses on the most prevalent dermatologic disorders as they relate to cutaneous infectious and neoplastic conditions and procedural dermatology. It includes atypical presentations of various disorders, giving insight into differential diagnoses, helping to familiarize the reader with some of the rarest dermatologic disorders. Atlas of Dermatology, Dermatopathology and Venereology Volume 3 is written for dermatologists, dermatopathologists, and residents and summarizes data regarding any dermatologic disorder and syndrome. Each entry includes an introduction, clinical and pathological manifestations, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and treatment and prognosis. div>/div/div/div
