Download or read book Pemphigus Vulgaris written by Lawrence S. Chan and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers all up-to-date information regarding the historical perspectives, clinical manifestations, pathomechanism, diagnostic methodology, and therapeutic strategies for a life-threatening, blistering skin disease called pemphigus vulgaris. The medical community has come a long way in discovering its disease mechanism down to the molecular level and found excellent treatment options for patients suffering from this horrific disease. Compared to the pre-corticosteroid era when the mortality rate was greater than 90% to present day mortality, which is extremely rare, we have indeed made great medical progress toward curing this disease. The scientific and clinical advancements notwithstanding, patients affected by this disease still face a mortality rate two to three times higher than the general population, indicating that the research of this disease has not yet been completed. While this book is focused on pemphigus vulgaris, it also includes four clinical variants of pemphigus vulgaris: drug-induced pemphigus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, pemphigus vegetans, and IgA pemphigus. Accompanied with extensive reviews of scientific literature are clinical photos illustrating the various clinical presentations of the disease, as well as histological and immunohistological patterns of this disease that would serve as outstanding references for practical usage in emergency rooms, hospitals, and outpatient clinics. This book is intended for: medical students whom require comprehensive knowledge of a well-classified organ-specific autoimmune disease; dermatology residents solidifying their ability to diagnose and treat this group of patients; practicing physicians whom need to update their skills in managing patients suffering from this disease; emergency physicians in order to properly triage their patients; scientists completing their understanding of the disease pathophysiology; and pharmaceutical industries searching for even better treatment options for these patients.
Download or read book Autoimmune Bullous Diseases written by Barbara Horváth and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 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.

Download or read book Autoimmune Bullous Diseases written by Müzeyyen Gönül and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-05-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autoimmune bullous diseases are a group of rare skin diseases characterized by intraepidermal and subepidermal bullae formations due to autoantibodies directed against the structural proteins of the epidermis or the dermal-epidermal junction. Early and correct diagnosis and adequate treatment of autoimmune bullous diseases are important as they cause morbidity and mortality in the affected patients. This book, which gives detailed information about autoimmune bullous diseases, has two sections and nine chapters with sixteen contributing authors. The first section describes the structure and tasks of desmosomes and basement membrane zone, which consist of the major antigens of skin integrity targeted by autoantibodies. The second section is about the epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, mucocutaneous, histopathologic and laboratory findings, and therapy of autoimmune bullous diseases.

The book opens by describing the structure and biology of the epidermis and basement membrane zone and discussing the genes and proteins that are targets for mutations and autoantibodies. The role of the various diagnostic tests is explained, and clinical manifestations of the specific diseases are presented with the aid of many high-quality illustrations. The forms of treatment appropriate in specific conditions are then described in depth, with coverage of dressings, drugs, surgical procedures, gene therapy, and other novel approaches. Helpful algorithms are included both for testing and monitoring and for treatment.

The book contains protocols and follows international guidelines. Currently there is no quick primer on Autoimmune Bullous Diseases for dermatologists who wish to learn the subtleties of diagnosis and management of this group of mucocutaneous diseases. Since mucous membranes are also included the following medical disciplines might be interested too: oral medicine and stomatology, ENT, ophthalmology, gynaecology, gastro-enterology. The Center for Blistering Diseases in Groningen has organized since the year 2000 an annual course on Bullous Diseases for dermatologists and pathologists. The staff is selected from the faculty. The course is interactive and problem-oriented. The proposed book would represent the documented practical knowledge of the staff on these diseases. The information should be clear and practical with examples and questions for self-assessment.
