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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on neglected skin diseases and conditions in resource-poor countries through the lens of livelihoods. These diseases, when neglected, not only affect the skin, but also joint movement and physical appearance, severely influencing the lives and livelihoods of individuals and families in vulnerable communities. The book explores why neglected skin diseases thrive in resource-poor countries, and considers how this cycle might be broken by looking at the impact on livelihoods and access to healthcare in affected communities. The research is shaped by three guiding questions: Firstly, why have some measures been successful in one part of a population and not the other? Secondly, what is unique about vulnerable populations in various parts of the world? And thirdly, can the cycle of debilitating skin diseases and conditions in resource-poor countries be broken? In addressing these concerns, the book excavates past and present efforts in public health measures to combat these diseases, considers the impact of culture and livelihoods, and reviews some of the milestones in disease elimination and eradication. This book will be an indispensable source for health service planners, administrators and practitioners working with vulnerable populations, as well as graduate students and researchers in public health.
