Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a reference guide in the field of dermatology, presenting and discussing its interface with public health. Dermatological diseases are extremely common in populations around the globe, and the systematization of knowledge about these dermatoses and their relationships with different epidemiological factors may help us to understand the challenges that governments and private institutions face and must try to overcome in order to improve global health. Undergraduate and graduate students, dermatologists and general practitioners who study and / or work in the area will find scientific support in this book, which is intended as a reference work for dermatological practice and public health. The book has ten sections addressing carefully selected topics, including: 1. concepts in dermatoepidemiology and the international strategies in programs of Public Health; 2-6. the most significant skin diseases (including dermatology in tropical medicine) ; 7. diseases that are not primarily dermatological, but have a high impact on public health and may have skin and mucosal manifestations; 8. a number of emerging issues in dermatology in public health; 9. clinical approaches (diagnosis and management) to common dermatological symptoms and 10. multidisciplinary approaches in dermatology. The editors have brought together authors with extensive experience in their respective fields in order to provide a reference book for those involved in or with an interest in the relationship between dermatology and public health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epidemiology and prevention will be major themes in medicine in the next century. Dermatologists will be called upon to manage skin diseases at an earlier, often asymptomatic stage, or even before they occur. They will need to base their decisions on strategies with documented efficacy and take into account their cost/benefit and cost/effectiveness. This unique book fulfills the need for a comprehensive, up-to-the-minute text on the epidemiology and prevention of skin diseases. Containing contributions from a team of internationally-acclaimed experts, Epidemiology, Causes and Prevention of Skin Diseases provides such descriptive data as prevalence, incidence of skin diseases and trends in the future, an analysis of causes, environmental and risk factors, and genetic pre-disposition for each disease. Current information on the identification and follow-up of high-risk populations, all aspects of preventive treatment, screening methods, prevention campaigns, and cost effectiveness of prevention are also included. For dermatologists interested in epidemiology and prevention, and for epidemiologists interested in skin diseases, Epidemiology, Causes and Prevention of Skin Diseases provides an essential reference.

This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication presents currently available evidence about the extent to which dermatological diseases may, through their own nature as well as a multitude of comorbidities and their important interactions with social life, impair the life course of patients. Divided into four parts, the book starts with a brilliant introduction that highlights the importance of a life course approach in medicine from a medical as well as from a psychosocial point of view. The second part provides a basic presentation of the theoretical aspects of life course research and, more specifically, to the concepts of allostatic load and cumulative life course impairment (CLCI). The third part examines concepts related to CLCI, such as the ‘quality of life in dermatology’ or the ‘major life changing decisions’ influenced by dermatological diseases. The book concludes with an in-depth investigation of specific diseases where the concept of CLCI strikes as particularly relevant. The new and innovative evidence presented in this publication makes it essential reading to anyone who has to take social implications of skin diseases into account in their decision making: dermatologists, allergologists, pediatricians and general practitioners as well as researchers in medical sociology or opinion leaders in public health.
