Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair is a comprehensive text that extensively examines cutaneous disease in persons with skin of color. The breadth of knowledge in this book encompasses the wide scope of dermatologic disease with 26 distinct and unique chapters. It serves as a guide to the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders for those populations with darker skin types. Vashi and Maibach’s Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair provides an overview of medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology in addition to providing an extensive anthropological and basic science background to fully understand skin disorders in persons of color. Topics of discussion include anthropology of skin and hair, biophysical properties of ethnic skin, structure and function of the skin, physiologic pigmentation, mucosal lesions, acne, rosacea, inflammatory disorders, infections, autoimmune disorders, connective tissue disease, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation and depigmentation, keloids, scarring, pediatric disease, alopecias, adnexal disorders, common cosmetic concerns and treatments, and cultural considerations.
Download or read book Skin Biophysics written by Georges Limbert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents state-of-the-art experimental and modelling techniques for skin biophysics that are currently used in academic and industrial research. It also identifies current and future challenges, as well as a growing number of opportunities in this exciting research field. The book covers the basics of skin physiology, biology, microstructural and material properties, and progressively introduces the reader to established experimental characterisation protocols and modelling approaches. Advanced topics in modelling theories and numerical implementation are also presented. The book focusses especially on: 1. Basic physiology, molecular biology, microstructural and material properties of the skin. 2. Experimental characterisation techniques for the skin (including imaging): in vivo and in vitro techniques and combination of those with in silico approaches. 3. State-of-the-art constitutive models of the skin: elastic, anelastic and mechanobiological formulations (e.g. growth, ageing, healing). 4. Applications: mechanics, damage, biological growth, healing, ageing and skin tribology. This book is addressed to postgraduate students in biomedical/mechanical/civil engineering, (bio)physics and applied mathematics, postdoctoral researchers, as well as scientists and engineers working in academia and industry engaged in skin research, particularly, if at the cross-roads of physical experiments, imaging and modelling. The book is also be of interest to clinicians/biologists who wish to learn about the possibilities offered by modern engineering techniques for skin science research and, by so doing, provide them with an incentive to broaden their outlook, engage more widely with the non-clinical research communities and, ultimately, help cross-fertilising new ideas that will lead to better treatment plans and engineering solutions.

This book was released on 2011-05-30 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Introduction to Skin Biothermomechanics and Thermal Pain" introduces the study of coupled bio-thermo-mechanical and neural behavior of skin tissue in response to thermal and mechanical loads. The research in this book focuses on the theoretical modeling and experimental investigation of heated skin tissue in order to provide a predictive framework for thermal therapies of diseased tissue in clinics. Furthermore, by developing solution tools, it focuses on changes in treatment parameters leading to more effective therapies. The book is intended for researchers and scientists in Bioengineering, Heat Transfer, Mechanics, Biology and Neurophysiology, as well as clinicians. Dr. Feng Xu is a research fellow at Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA. Dr. Tianjian Lu is a professor at the School of Aerospace, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China. Dr. Xu and Dr. Lu are also affiliated with Biomedical Engineering and Biomechanics Center at Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China.
Download or read book Gender and Dermatology written by Ethel Tur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively reviews the characteristics of the body reflected in the skin due to differences in gender. It investigates the genetic and hormonal differences that can affect skin structure and function, and resulting in variations between women and men. The aging process and exogenous factors that differ according to differences in lifestyle between the sexes are also covered. Gender and Dermatology comprehensively outlines the various aspects of physiological differences between the skin of women and men using practical examples and review of the basic science. It is therefore an important clinically-relevant review for both the trainee and experienced practitioner in dermatology, primary care, geriatrics and immunology, while also being of interest to researchers in genetics and metabolic medicine.
Download or read book The Natural Moisturizing Factor of the Skin written by Marisa Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 1166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural moisturizing factor (NMF) is essential for stratum corneum hydration, barrier homeostasis, desquamation and plasticity. It is formed from filaggrin proteolysis to small, hygroscopic molecules including individual amino acids, lactic acid, urea, etc. Although NMF levels have been extensively studied in normal and abnormal skin conditions, the effects of perturbations such as water exposure, barrier damage and repair, even variations across the body surface, are poorly understood. Biophysical measurements such as TEWL (transepidermal water loss) or MAT (moisture accumulation test) are commonly used in cosmetic laboratories without a clear understanding of what these instruments are measuring in the skin. The detrimental effects to the skin of long water exposure are well known. Soak baths of relatively brief duration, up to 20 minutes in length, have been shown to temporarily increase skin hydration and reduce scaling, while extended water exposure causes maceration, disruption of the skin barrier, and a dry flaky appearance once the excess water evaporates. The boundary between therapeutic and damaging effects of water exposure is unknown, as is the etiology of the resulting damage. Conversely, NMF itself relies on water; NMF production depends on ambient humidity levels, with an optimal humidity range of 80-95%. We hypothesized that minor perturbations of the skin and differing anatomical locations generate differences in NMF levels, and that these changes in NMF are reflected by alterations in the biophysical properties of the skin. To this end, a novel method of quantifying the amino acid components of NMF, using D-Squames® for stratum corneum (SC) sampling is presented and validated. This method was used in conjunction with conventional bioengineering methods (MAT, TEWL, pH) to investigate the relationships between skin biophysical properties and NMF levels. The work focused on the effects of water on NMF, both as soaking and occlusion, and also explored the effect of regional variation on NMF and biophysical measurements. Studies were conducted on the effects on NMF of soaking the skin with and without lipid extraction, barrier damage and repair under various humidities, and regional variation. Increased NMF was found with increased SC depth. Also, combining extraction and soaking increased NMF loss relative to control or to extraction or soaking alone. In studies on the effect of water alone, replacement of NMF over a four hour time period after soaking occurred, corresponding to a recovery in SC pH. Two studies on the effect of humidity on barrier integrity showed significant suppression of barrier repair by wet dressings, with barrier damage also occurring due to occlusion alone. Smaller than expected differences in NMF levels were found between body sites, although SC cohesiveness measurements agreed with published results. NMF levels were weakly correlated to MAT and negatively correlated to SC pH. In sum, the NMF is a complex mixture whose effects on skin condition as measured visually and biophysically is entangled with many other factors and thus difficult to isolate. NMF is clearly a significant determinant of the condition of skin but our results indicate that other factors play important roles.
