Nails Diagnosis, Therapy, Surgery 3rd

We are very pleased to be able to produce a third edition of Nails. The strong positive reception of editions one and two confirms our notion that interest in nail disorders has increased at a rapidly accelerating pace. As recently as twenty years ago few texts on this subject were available. Now there are many out there! Likewise, at that time journals had infrequent articles published on nail diseases but now almost every issue of every cutaneous journal has many articles dealing with the important subject of onychology. The authors of this third edition find this very exciting. It will be noted that the number of editors has been increased to include Dr Boni Elewski, an expert on fungal diseases, Dr Philip Fleckman, to expand basic science, Dr Phoebe Rich, prominent in nails and diabetics, and Dr Antonella Tosti to provide a European insight and view point. It is our hope that healthcare givers will find this book of value in helping patients with nail problems.

Fitzpatrick's Dermatology in General Medicine

 Although much has changed over the past decades, the concept for and the purpose of the book remain the same—to provide an all-encompassing, state-of-the-art review of dermatology and to describe the biologic basis for diseases of the skin. Although DIGMis truly encyclopedic, it has been edited with the goal of making the entire text easily readable and useful.The 280 chapters are grouped into 37 sections covering all aspects of the science and clinical care of the skin in health and disease. Fifty new contributors have participated in this edition, many of the chapters are completely new, and a large number of the others have been completely rewritten. Disorders thought to be of only historic importance, such as anthrax and variola, are now central to our twenty-first century world; they are discussed both as dermatologic diseases and as potential agents of mass destruction. Our understanding of disease and pathophysiology has led to novel therapeutic agents such as botulinum toxin, which has proven to be of value in many diverse situations. Thus, the sixth edition of Dermatology in General Medicine clearly reflects the complexities and the great potential of our age. Since complete integration of the basic and clinical sciences is the DIGMsignature, many new approaches to the biology, structure, and function of the skin are offered in detail. We have introduced a new section on evidence-based dermatology and have expanded the portion of the text dealing with dermatologic changes through the stages of life. Essentially all of the illustrative material is now in full color, and charts and diagrams have been redrawn for ease of interpretation. The therapeutic sections have all been updated to encompass the most recently introduced types of  biologic therapy. The progress that has been made in dealing with HIV infection, the scourge of our generation, is clearly described.
