While science and technology have been moving at speed in the last decade and major investments have been placed in Artificial Intelligence, blockchain technology, 3D printing, and gene editing, medical practice, including cutaneous medicine (otherwise known as Dermatology), is only just starting to follow these technological advances. This book is a timely intellectual investment for cutaneous medicine, addressing these particularly needed areas. It is written for medical educators, dermatology residents, practicing dermatologists, and medical researchers in the area of skin diseases, to alert them all to medical advances and up-and-coming technology and in the hope, it will inspire further novel methodology for the future of cutaneous medicine, in diagnosis and therapy.

An authoritative overview of contemporary approaches to integrative skin health The popularity of integrative medical treatment of skin disorders has increased significantly in recent years—requiring practicing clinicians to keep pace with continuingdevelopments in dermatological research and methods. Advances in Integrative Dermatology offers a comprehensive survey of this dynamic field, providing up-to-date information on both preventative and therapeutic approaches to skin health. Combining clinical medicine with complimentary treatment plans, integrative dermatology provides an innovative perspective to individual patient care. This essential text explores new research in areas including the effects of stress and pollution on the skin, the importance of high-quality sleep, complementary methods of averting skin conditions, and more. Recognizing the impact skin disorders have on physiological, psychological, and emotional health, editors Katlein França and Torello Lotti illustrate key components of inclusive skin health strategies, such as therapeutic diets and nutritional supplements, topical botanicals, and other complementary therapies. Filling a significant gap in current literature on integrative dermatology, this valuable resource: Answers the common questions asked by patients in real-world dermatology practices Addresses pervasive misconceptions of integrative dermatological methods and principles with evidence-based review of current practices Examines contemporary research in the diagnosis and treatment of dermatological disorders Presents comprehensive treatment options for a wide range of conditions such as rosacea, melanoma, and psoriasis Advances in Integrative Dermatology is an indispensable volume for physicians seeking to incorporate holistic techniques into their practices, expand their knowledge of integrative medicine, and provide the best possible care for their patients.

Advances in Dermatological Sciences collates major scientific research achievements over the last two years in a diverse range of dermatological research fields. Examples of key topics covered include experimental models, toxicology, regulatory, exposure assessment, therapeutics, cosmetics and decontamination. A unique feature of the book is the introductory chapter to each section that is written by an internationally-recognised expert summarising work to date, and explaining how new research contributes to our overall understanding of the skin and where the next major developments are likely to be focussed in the future. Each section contains several experimental research chapters that present contemporary research on 'hot topics' or major advances relevant to the dermatological sciences. The book incorporates a broad range of specialist topics rather than focussing on one single aspect so as to appeal to a broader audience. Thus, the proposed book distills cutting-edge advances across all of the dermatological sciences into one major work and so provide a one-stop portal for accessing the current state of knowledge. It communicates both a readily accessible overview (in the form of introductory chapters) and also detailed, expert contributions. The text is essential reading for interdisciplinary scientists working in dermal pharmacology, dermatological and dermatotoxicological sciences.

Evidence-based Dermatology, Second Edition is aunique book in the field of clinical dermatology. Written andedited by some of the world’s leading experts inevidence-based dermatology, it takes a highly evidence-basedapproach to the treatment of all major and many of the less commonskin conditions. The toolbox at the beginning of the book explaining how tocritically appraise different studies, along with the comprehensivereviewing and appraisal of evidence in the clinical chapters makesthis book distinctive in its field as do the treatmentrecommendations which are based on the discussion of the bestavailable evidence using a question-driven approach and a commonstructure on dealing with efficacy, drawbacks and implications forclinical practice.

Nanoscience in Dermatology covers one of the two fastest growing areas within dermatological science, nanoscience and nanotechnology in dermatology. Recently, great progress has been made in the research and development of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials related to various applications in medicine and, in general, the life sciences. There is increasing enthusiasm for nanotechnology applications in dermatology (drug delivery, diagnostics, therapeutics, imaging, sensors, etc.) for understanding skin biology, improving early detection and treatment of skin diseases, and in the design and optimization of cosmetics. Light sensitive nanoparticles have recently been explored, opening a new era for the combined applications of light with nanotechnology, also called photonanodermatology. However, concerns have been raised regarding the adverse effects of intentional and unintentional nanoparticle exposure and their toxicity. Written by experts working in these exciting fields, this book extensively covers nanotechnology applications, together with the fundamentals and toxicity aspects. It not only addresses current applications of nanotechnology, but also discusses future trends of these ever-growing and rapidly changing fields, providing scientists and dermatologists with a clear understanding of the advantages and challenges of nanotechnology in skin medicine. - Provides knowledge of current and future applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology in dermatology - Outlines the fundamentals, methods, toxicity aspects, and other relevant aspects for nanotechnology based applications in dermatology - Coherently structured book written by experts working in the fields covered
