Beschreibungen
<b>Your concise and manageable guide to psoriasis</b> <p>During the last decade, research into molecular genetics, inflammatory mechanisms and immunology has dramatically enhanced our insight into the pathogenesis of psoriasis, paralleled by a proliferation in therapeutic treatments. For those unable to keep pace with the continual volume of research on psoriasis, <i>Textbook of Psoriasis</i> provides a concise and digestible account of the subject.</p> <p>Aimed at both the trainee and practising dermatologist, <i>Textbook of Psoriasis</i> concentrates mainly on the clinical presentation of psoriasis and the management of the condition using the latest pharmacological agents. In addition, it also reviews the underlying science from the point of view of causation and pathology. Containing contributions from a distinguished team of experts, the book remains in three sections which discuss the clinical morphology of the skin, its etiology and pathogenesis, and finally the current available treatments for this distressing disease.</p>

<p><strong>Peter C. M. van de Kerkhof</strong> is the editor of <em>Textbook of <em>Psoriasis</em>, 2nd Edition, published by Wiley.
During the last decade, research into molecular genetics, inflammatory mechanisms and immunology has dramatically enhanced our insight into the pathogenesis of psoriasis, paralleled by a proliferation in therapeutic possibilities. For those unable to keep pace with the continual volume of research on psoriasis, and intimidated by exhaustive single subject textbooks, the <i>Textbook of Psoriasis</i> has proven a concise, digestible account of the subject.<br /> <p>The text focuses on extensive coverage of available therapeutic strategies, providing guidelines for management, accompanied by a discussion of the clinical features of the condition and a review of the underlying aetiological and pathogenetic factors. Assembling contributions from a distinguished team of international experts, the second edition is extensively illustrated in colour, and updates the reader on recent pharmacotherapeutic developments. <i>Textbook of Psoriasis</i> will continue to be a valuable text for the trainee, and a useful, current reference for the practising dermatologist.</p>
