Înţelegerea mecanismelor imunologice îndreptate împotriva melanocitelor benigne şi maligne reprezintă un subiect relevant pentru cercetare în momentul actual, întrucât creează premisa dezvoltării de noi terapii imunologice atât în melanom, cât şi în vitiligo, cu rezultate promiţătoare.

În practică, reacţiile imunologice antimelanocitare pot fi studiate în diferite situaţii clinice: în vitiligo, unde procesele imunologice sunt supraexprimate; în nevii Sutton, unde mecanismele imunologice sunt adecvate; în melanom, în care imunosupresia locală împiedică de cele mai multe ori fenomenele antitumorale să acţioneze eficient. Lucrarea prezentă reunește multe dintre studiile autoarei referitoare la aceste mecanisme fiziopatologice, realizate și publicate

în ultimii zece ani în teza de doctorat, precum și proiectele postdoctorale și articolele de specialitate. Realizează totodată actualizarea materialelor cu cele mai recente informații din literatura medicală cu privire la: structura sistemului imun cutanat şi a funcţiei principalelor componente ale acestuia; mecanismele prezente în autoimunitate, autoinflamaţie şi imunitatea antitumorală cutanate; reacţiile imunologice îndreptate împotriva melanocitelor benigne şi maligne în vitiligo, în melanom (regresie) și în nevii melanocitari (nevii Sutton).

Improve your dermatological diagnostic accuracy. The most efficient method in the diagnosis of skin diseases is the combined validation of clinical and histopathological features. The results of biopsy investigation in isolation don’t always yield answers. But when considered together, the clinical pattern and the histopathology, then diagnosis can become clearer. In this process the diagnostic impact of histopathology may be decisive or just confirmative to the clinical differential diagnosis. The structure of the book follows a basic approach to morphology, which is overall orientation at scanning magnification first, then identifying a prototypic pattern, and finally finding the essential diagnostic clue(s) under high power magnification. Dermatopathology: Practical Differential Diagnosis by Clinicopathologic Pattern provides top quality images to correlate clinical presentations with histopathologic features. Annotated images highlight subtle indications that can clinch the diagnosis. Concise, bullet-pointed text provides further context. Written by internationally renowned authors, the book is ideal for anyone involved in the diagnosis of skin disease.

Challenging Cases in Rheumatology and Diseases of the Immune System is the latest title in a growing collection of thought-provoking case-based titles from Massoud Mahmoudi, D.O., Ph.D. Like his three preceding titles, Challenging Cases in Allergy and Immunology (2009), Challenging Cases in Allergic and Immunologic Diseases of the Skin (2010), and Challenging Cases in Pulmonology (2011), this easy-to-read title presents the topic in a challenging and enjoyable case-based format. Developed by 30 distinguished contributors, the book consists of six parts and 16 chapters, with each chapter presenting two cases. The style of this title follows the previous books: each topic begins with an abstract, followed by a case presentation, working diagnosis, data, final diagnosis, and discussion. In addition, to enhance a review of the subject and stimulate critical thinking, there are 5 to 10 multiple choice questions and answers in each chapter. Challenging Cases in Rheumatology and Diseases of the Immune System is an indispensable resource for all clinicians who care for patients with rheumatic and immunologic disorders.

The WHO Classification of Skin Tumours is the 11th volume in the 4th edition of the WHO series on the classification of human tumours. The series (also known as the Blue Books) has long been regarded by pathologists as the gold standard for the diagnosis of tumours, and it is an indispensable guide for the design of evaluations, clinical trials, and studies involving cancer. These authoritative and concise reference books provide an international standard for anyone involved in cancer research or the care of cancer patients. Diagnostic criteria, pathological features, and genetic and other associated molecular alterations are described in a disease-oriented manner. This volume updates the existing ICD-O codes and provides new codes for use in epidemiology and cancer registration. It also provides information on clinical features, pathology, genetics, prognosis, and protective factors for each of the tumour types covered. The editors expect that this volume will be of particular interest to pathologists, oncologists, and dermatologists who manage or research skin tumours. Sections are included on all recognized neoplasms (and their variants) of the skin and its adnexae. Since the previous edition, there have been particularly substantial changes to the classification of melanoma, based on the latest information from genetic and molecular studies.

The treatment of skin cancer has become an increasingly multispecialty practice. Ongoing surgical and postsurgical advances and emergent factors that predispose patients to these tumors have changed the treatment paradigm. Having a keen understanding of diagnostic, surgical, and nonsurgical treatment options is key to identifying, treating, or referring patients with potential cutaneous malignancies.

While Brian R. Gastman's Cutaneous Malignancies: A Surgical Perspective is the first of its kind to emphasize surgical management of skin cancer, several sections are devoted to systemic nonsurgical therapies affecting patient care and surgical intervention. Topics encompassed include prevention, diagnosis, medication management, appropriate margin size, reconstruction methods, and the importance of stellar dermatopathology.

Key Highlights

·         The role of Mohs micrographic surgery and radiation in skin cancer treatment

·         Treatment approaches for the two most common forms of skin cancer respectively, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma

·         Surgical treatment of cutaneous malignant melanoma and other high-risk malignancies

·         Clinical insights on completion lymphadenectomy and sentinel node biopsy for melanoma, two topics rarely addressed in context with skin cancer

·         Diagnosis and treatment of rare malignancies including Merkel cell carcinoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, cutaneous angiosarcoma, and cutaneous leiomyosarcoma

·         More than 400 high-quality illustrations further delineate surgical modalities

Introducing the book that bridges the gap between a dermatologic surgery textbook and a dedicated flap and reconstructive guide

Dermatologic Surgery is a unique resource that offers the benefits of both a single-volume multi-author global dermatologic surgery textbook and a dedicated flap and reconstructive reference. Conveniently organized by flap type as well as regional approach, it offers by far the most comprehensive flap and reconstruction sections of any general dermatologic surgery book.

The book’s content breakdown attempts to reflect the proportion of time, effort, and training required for a given subject. For example, there are five full chapters (in addition to numerous other sections) dedicated to Mohs surgery. Similarly, a total of 17 richly illustrated chapters, including those devoted to particular flap techniques and regional approaches to reconstruction, address flap and graft closures. Since anatomy is the foundation on which all surgery is built, the anatomy chapter was built on a true ground-up cadaveric study of head and neck anatomy with an eye to clinical relevance.

Full-length high-quality videos are an essential adjunct to learning procedural techniques, and this text includes the largest video resource of its kind ever compiled. This coupled with almost 3, 000 high-quality clinical photographs and nearly 500 professional medical illustrations, including infographics with surgical pearls for each chapter – many bolstered by beginner tips, expert tips, cautions, patient education points, and even billing tips – make this a true primer for real-world skin surgery practice.

Learn how to perform basic and advanced skin surgery with this combination text and atlas Written in clear, concise language, and backed by the latest evidence, Procedural Dermatology is a practical guide for performing all types of skin procedures for both medical and cosmetic problems. Procedural Dermatology opens with a section on Surgical Principles, that discusses essentials such as head and neck anatomy, preoperative evaluation, anesthesia, aseptic technique, antibiotics, wound healing, and postoperative care. The next four sections (Surgical Skills, Skin Tumors, Aesthetic & Laser Procedures, and Aesthetic Problems) cover the different types of surgical procedures, describing them in step-by-step fashion, with each step illustrated with line drawings and photographs. Procedural Dermatology compiles current, state-of-the-art information valuable to all practitioners of dermatologic surgery, from the trainees to seasoned surgeons wishing to refine their skills.
