Download or read book Evolution of Atopic Dermatitis in the 21st Century written by Ichiro Katayama and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide offers a state-of-the-art overview of basic and clinical aspects of atopic dermatitis (AD). The name "atopic dermatitis" was first used in 1933, and Drs. Lewis Webb Hill and Marion B. Sulzberger presented their report "Evolution of atopic dermatitis" in 1935. Their observations accurately forecasted the contemporary issues in the management of the condition, such as the conclusions that should be drawn from our understanding of the pathogenesis of AD, and the use of steroids as the main treatment. Several aggravating factors have recently been identified, and these also need to be addressed. In this context, the expert contributors to this book describe and discuss the evolution of atopic dermatology from Sulzberger’s era to the present day, including clinical manifestations, etiopathology and treatment. In addition, it explores skin care intervention, the role of microbiom and GWAS studies, and presents unique, previously unpublished cohort studies. It provides insights into the dynamic changes in AD since Sulzberger introduced topical steroids for its treatment. It is a valuable resource for dermatologists, medical practitioners and researchers who are interested in atopic dermatology.
Download or read book Toxicology of Contact Dermatitis written by David Basketter and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current Toxicology Series Series Editors Diana Anderson, BIBRA Toxicology International, Surrey, UK Michael D Waters, Consultant, Chapel Hill, NC, USA Timothy C Marrs, Department of Health, London, UK Toxicology of Contact Dermatitis Allergy, Irritancy and Urticaria David Basketter, Unilever R&D, Safety & Environmental Assurance Centre Toxicology Unit, Bedford, UK Frank Gerberick, Proctor & Gamble, Miami Valley Laboratories, Cincinnati, OH, USA Ian Kimber, ZENECA Pharmaceuticals, Central Toxicology Laboratory, Macclesfield, UK Carolyn Willis, Department of Dermatology, Amersham Hospital, Amersham, UK The contact dermatoses represent a family of clinical conditions of the skin which affect a surprising number of people. These diseases cover skin irritation, allergic contact dermatitis (skin sensitisation) and the urticarias (both immunologic and non-immunologic). They arise from contact with chemicals at work (contact dermatitis is the major cause of occupational health problems) and from consumer contact with chemicals in the home (in cosmetics, household products, medicaments, pesticides, and so on). The aim of this book is to describe in detail the latest understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the three main aspects of contact dermatitis (irritation, allergy and urticaria), to then encapsulate modern approaches to the evaluation of chemical hazards in this area by critically reviewing the test methodologies involved, and finally to illustrate how the risks presented may be assessed. This last point is a critical area, since methods for the identification of these hazards (at least for skin irritation and sensitisation) have been available for some years. However, the understanding of how to measure the potency of these hazards and so enable a proper risk assessment is only now becoming a more tractable and thus transparent activity. Better and more consistent risk assessments are the optimal route to the reduction of the morbidity presented by the skin disorders described in this book. This timely book is essential reading for toxicologists, dermatologists, occupational health specialists, allergologists and those with an interest in risk assessment and safety evaluation.
