Dermatoscopy in Clinical Practice: Beyond Pigmented Lesions (Series in Dermatological Treatment)
by Giuseppe Micali Francesco LacarrubbaDermatoscopy has been heavily promoted to dermatologists as the front line in detecting skin cancer early and easily. However, this technology also has other uses in everyday dermatologic practice. Dermatoscopy in Clinical Practice shows those already using the equipment how they can extend its use beyond pigmented lesions and exploit its full potential. Dermatoscopy and videodermatoscopy can be used for differential diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and monitoring response to treatment of various disorders including inflammatory diseases, parasitoses, viral and fungal infections, nonpigmented skin lesions, hair abnormalities, and a large variety of other dermatologic conditions as well as cosmetology. The book focuses on those conditions in which the techniques are most useful, describing the clinical and histopathological correlations associated with the procedure. The book includes color clinical images throughout, making it a handy guide for the dermatologist’s daily practice.
Dermatoscopy of Non-Pigmented Skin Tumors: Pink - Think - Blink
by Giuseppe Argenziano Iris Zalaudek Jason GiacomelAlthough many skin lesions are pigmented, Dermatoscopy of Non-pigmented Skin Tumors: Pink - Think - Blink addresses non-pigmented lesions, which may be more difficult to diagnose. It discusses dermatoscopy not only as a reliable tool for diagnosis, but also for the monitoring of treatment outcomes following topical therapy. <P><P>The clinical diagnosis of non-pigmented skin lesions is one of the most challenging in the daily routine. To arrive at a correct diagnosis—or at least an adequate management plan—the clinician needs to collect many pieces of information and put them together like a puzzle. Illustrated with nearly 200 color clinical and dermatoscopic photographs, this book is an invaluable guide for clinicians striving to solve the diagnostic puzzle and correctly identify non-pigmented lesions.
Dermatoses in Dark Vs Light Skin: Differing Clinical Manifestations
by Eckart Haneke Ranthilaka R. GammanpilaDiagnosis in dermatology is largely based on visual inspection of a lesion or a suspicious skin area; however, visual diagnosis and pattern recognition can vary according to patients’ skin types, and the disorders themselves can have markedly different presentation profiles in different skin colors. This book provides succinct information to identify the differing clinical manifestations of skin diseases in darker skin and lighter skin, discussing 130 skin conditions with high-quality color Illustrations, and will be an invaluable reference for even experienced professionals working on skin diseases in heterogeneous populations.

Derrida and Textual Animality: For a Zoogrammatology of Literature (Palgrave Studies in Animals and Literature)
by Rodolfo PiskorskiDerrida and Textual Animality: For a Zoogrammatology of Literature analyses what has come to be known, in the Humanities, as ‘the question of the animal’, in relation to literary texts. Rodolfo Piskorski intervenes in the current debate regarding the non-human and its representation in literature, resisting popular materialist methodological approaches in the field by revisiting and revitalising the post-structuralist thought of Derrida and the ‘linguistic turn’. The book focuses on Derrida’s early work in order to frame deconstructive approaches to literature as necessary for a theory and practice of literary criticism that addresses the question of the animal, arguing that texts are like animals, and animals are like texts. While Derrida’s late writings have been embraced by animal studies scholars due to its overt focus on animality, ethics, and the non-human, Piskorski demonstrates the additional value of these early Derridean texts for the field of literary animal studies by proposing detailed zoogrammatological readings of texts by Freud, Clarice Lispector, Ted Hughes, and Darren Aronofsky, while in dialogue with thinkers such as Butler, Kristeva, Genette, Deleuze and Guattari, and Attridge.
Desastre: Historia y política de las catástrofes
by Niall FergusonUna historia de las catástrofes deslumbrante, original y repleta de ideas para el futuro que pone en perspectiva el ya conocido como annus horribilis. Los desastres son difíciles de prever, pero en la actualidad deberíamos estar mejor preparados contra las catástrofes que los romanos cuando el Vesubio entró en erupción o que los italianos cuando golpeó la Peste Negra en la Edad Media. Al fin y al cabo, nosotros contamos con la ciencia. Sin embargo, tal y como ha quedado demostrado con la crisis del coronavirus, la respuesta de la mayoría de países desarrollados ante un nuevo patógeno ha sido más bien torpe. ¿Cómo es posible? Niall Ferguson sostiene, entre muchas otras cosas, que estaban en juego patologías previas arraigadas ya visibles en nuestras respuestas a otros desastres del pasado. Desde diversas disciplinas, incluidas la economía y la ciencia de redes, Desastre ofrece no solo una historia,sino también una teoría general de los desastres, y expone cómo nuestros complejos y atrofiados sistemas de gobernanza son incapaces de afrontar las crisis. Como muestra Ferguson, los gobiernos deben aprender a ser menos burocráticos y más resilientes si quieren evitar un declive irreversible. La crítica ha dicho...«No se trata de un virus, sino de una colisión de política, pánico, medios digitales, comportamiento humano e incompetencia. Desastre analiza cada uno de estos aspectos, poniéndolos en perspectiva histórica en una obra de deslumbrante alcance y rigor.»The Spectator «Ferguson se vale de su prodigioso intelecto para situar la pandemia en un lienzo histórico más amplio.»Financial Times «Perspicaz, exhaustivo, provocador y francamente brillante.»The New York Times «Una historia magnífica sobre el olvidado arte de gestionar una crisis.»The Telegraph «Ferguson es el historiador más brillante de su generación. Su escritura es extraordinaria.»Time «Niall Ferguson sitúa la pandemia en la más amplia de las perspectivas históricas y nos recuerda que esta no es la primera vez que los seres humanos han tenido que lidiar con una catástrofe. Basándose en un profundo conocimiento de la historia global, cataloga las amenazas a las que se ha enfrentado la humanidad y las formas ingeniosas en que las sociedades humanas las han afrontado.»Francis Fukuyama «Los seres humanos tenemos tantas maneras posibles de sufrir un terrible desastre que uno pensaría que deberíamos haber desarrollado una mejor capacidad de respuesta. En su extenso, sintético y atractivo libro, este historiador maestro explica por qué no ha sido así y ofrece un camino a seguir para encontrar soluciones más seguras y sensatas la próxima vez que nos enfrentemos una catástrofe.»Nicholas A. Christakis
Descent of the Testis
by John M. Hutson Spencer W. Beasley Jørgen M. ThorupThis book provides a state of the art overview of all aspects of testicular descent and cryptorchidism, including the mechanisms of descent and the causes, consequences, diagnosis, and treatment of undescended testis. The advances in understanding that have been achieved over the past two decades are clearly explained, covering the latest genetic information on the causes of normal and abnormal testicular descent, the role of INSL3 in transabdominal migration, and the evidence that a neurotransmitter released from the genitofemoral nerve mediates androgenic control of inguinoscrotal descent. Exciting changes in the management of both congenital and acquired cryptorchidism, such as the widespread use of laparoscopy for impalpable testes inside the abdominal cavity, are fully described. Evidence for the benefits of orchidopexy within the first year of life is reviewed, and an individual chapter is also devoted to hormonal treatment. Throughout the book due attention is given to ongoing controversies and divergences of opinion. This new edition of Descent of the Testis will be a timely update and valuable reference for all who are involved in research into testicular descent and management of cryptorchidism.

Descriptions and Prescriptions: A Biblical Perspective on Psychiatric Diagnoses and Medications
by Michael R. EmletOCD, ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder . . . these are no longer just technical terms and medical diagnoses, they are part of our common vocabulary and culture. As Christians, we shouldn't isolate ourselves from this discussion or dismiss these important issues. But we also should be careful not to accept the entire secular psychiatric diagnostic and treatment enterprise without question. What we need is a balanced, biblically (and scientifically) informed approach that neither blindly accepts nor harshly dismisses psychiatric labels, diagnoses, and medicines that are prescribed to help those who are suffering. <P><P> As both a Biblical counselor and medical doctor, Michael R. Emlet, MD, gives readers a Christ-centered approach to psychiatry and guides both lay and professional helpers through the thicket of mental health labels and treatments with a biblical lens. In a clear and thoughtful way that puts the person experiencing mental health issues at the forefront, Emlet uses Scripture to show how the Bible engages in the discussion of psychiatric labels and the medications that are often recommended based on those labels. The first book in the Helping the Helper series, Descriptions and Prescriptions will give readers a biblical, gospel-formed perspective to help them understand and minister to those struggling with mental health issues.
Descriptions and Prescriptions: Values, Mental Disorders, and the DSMs
by John Z. SadlerMost everyone agrees that having pneumonia or a broken leg is always a bad thing, but not everyone agrees that sadness, grief, anxiety, or even hallucinations are always bad things. This fundamental disjunction in how disease and disorders are valued is the basis for the considerations in Descriptions and Prescriptions.In this book John Z. Sadler, M.D., brings together a distinguished group of contributors to examine how psychiatric diagnostic classifications are influenced by the values held by mental health professionals and the society in which they practice. The aim of the book, according to Sadler, is "to involve psychiatrists, psychologists, philosophers, and scholars in related fields in an intimate exchange about the role of values in shaping past and future classifications of mental disorders."

Desde la trinchera
by César CarballoLa verdad detrás de la pantalla: el médico que habló claro cuando todos callaban relata sus historias de vida tras veinte años en la trinchera de un box de Urgencias. «Siempre he creído que los médicos aprenden más de los errores que de los aciertos. Todos los médicos fallamos, somos humanos y los humanos se equivocan, así que creo que cada médico debe lidiar con sus fantasmas. Muchas veces me dicen que los médicos no reconocen sus errores. No sé si en público, pero les aseguro que nos persiguen el resto de nuestra vida. Abro la caja de mis fantasmas a menudo y converso al final de la noche con ellos, los considero mis hermanos y hermanas». Este libro es un acto de desnudez de un médico que lleva veinte años en primera línea. En estas 7 historias de vida que componen sus páginas traslucen la pasión por el trabajo y por los pacientes, la fe y la esperanza en la ciencia por encima de todo, pero también la oscuridad que alberga la enfermedad y el dolor que produce saber que a veces nada es suficiente. A través de ellas, el doctor César Carballo nos presenta casos de pacientes al límite, nos habla de cómo funciona nuestro cuerpo, nos muestra la fiereza de los sanitarios en situaciones extremas, nos revela las carencias y los fallos -los del sistema y los humanos-, los pequeños detalles que marcan la diferencia entre vivir o morir y los milagros -que también suceden- desde la trinchera de un box de Urgencias.

Desert Malaria: An Emerging Malaria Paradigm and Its Global Impact on Disease Elimination
by B.K. TyagiThis book comprehensively reviews the disease dynamics, distribution, surveillance, epidemiology, diagnosis, control strategies, and management of the desert malaria. It highlights the potential risks of unstable but often exacerbated malaria conflagration as epidemics in the middle of duned desert, a desert oasis, and desert-fringe regions. Further, it reveals the factors inveigled into desert environments due to extensive anthropogenic activities such as canalized irrigation projects, high-yielding new agriculture practices, human concentration, and increased trade. It addresses the impact of irrigation on the malarial dynamics and its coupling to the climate forcing. The book also offers a model for desert transformation into malaria heaven under the changed climatic conditions including high rainfall, humidity, and depletion in temperature. Lastly, it offers insight into malaria epidemiology and disease control in the desert’s arid environments. This book is an essential resource for medical entomologists, parasitologists, epidemiologists, and public health researchers.
