Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mohs Micrographic Surgery, an advanced treatment procedure for skin cancer, offers the highest potential for recovery--even if the skin cancer has been previously treated. This procedure is a state-of-the-art treatment in which the physician serves as surgeon, pathologist, and reconstructive surgeon. It relies on the accuracy of a microscope to trace and ensure removal of skin cancer down to its roots. This procedure allows dermatologists trained in Mohs Surgery to see beyond the visible disease and to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, leaving healthy tissue unharmed. This procedure is most often used in treating two of the most common forms of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The cure rate for Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the highest of all treatments for skin cancer--up to 99 percent even if other forms of treatment have failed. This procedure, the most exact and precise method of tumor removal, minimizes the chance of regrowth and lessens the potential for scarring or disfigurement

This book was released on 2007-10-28 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diagnosis and treatment of common dermatologic problems is a critical area of skill and knowledge for primary care physicians. According to the US Department of 1 Health and Human Services, patients present to their physicians a skin rash as their chief concern for nearly 12 million office visits each year. In 73% of these office visits, patients see their internist, family physician, or pediatrician. In this respect, astonishingly, primary care clinicians see far more skin disease in their offices than dermatologists. Dermatology Skills for Primary Care: An Illustrated Guide advances the targeted skill and knowledge base of primary care physicians, as well as the collaboration between dermatologists and primary care physicians, by its wise choice of organization, scope, and approach. Dermatology Skills for Primary Care: An Illustrated Guide by Drs. Trozak, Tennenhouse, and Russell is an important addition to the dermatology literature because it has been written collaboratively by a skilled dermatologist and two excellent academic family physicians. As such, the book superbly targets the depth and scope of needs of primary care practitioners in the field of dermatology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under My Skin presents a practicing dermatologist's sensitive and humorous reflections on medical practice, health care, bureaucrats, and the very different ways doctors and their patients look at health and disease. Besides being informative, author (and dermatologist) Dr. Alan Rockoff offers in Under My Skin a witty take on skin medicine, a field some people think is as superficial as the organ it works with. Rockoff begs to differ, and sets a delightful tone to describe both the gratifying and annoying moments that come with daily practice. Rockoff also tells tales both droll and touching of people who have shared with him not just their skin problems but their personal lives, quiet hopes, and deepest fears. With 30 years of medical practice under his belt, Rockoff combines wit, candor, and empathy to present a unique perspective on the ins and outs of dermatology and the patients who make practicing it worthwhile. Whether you've been a health professional or ever consulted one - or if you've worked in most any profession - you will relate to Rockoff's tales of workplace joys and follies. From embarrassing doctor's office situations to tips on using an assortment of medications, this highly enjoyable read is bound to get under any reader's skin.
