Advances in Psoriasis
Author: Jeffrey M. Weinberg
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1447144325
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
It has become increasingly clear that psoriatic disease, both of the skin and joints, can be a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the physician and a debilitating illness for the patient. Genetic and immunologic advances have increased our understanding of the pathophysiology of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and there is a need for practically oriented evidence based references to describe the management options open to clinicians. The speed at which developments are occurring in the field also necessitates a novel approach to keeping up with these changes in practice and the need is for a reference that that be updated regularly as the subject requires. Psoriasis is an incredibly fast-moving discipline within dermatology. Guidelines, treatment options and management all change at incredible speed. There is a requirement to provide a comprehensive reference resource to provide practical, user friendly information for the dermatology profession to aid in the decision-making process. Psoriasis is a graphical subdiscipline of medicine and therefore this will have copious illustrations. As a fast moving discipline the emphasis must be on annual updates to ensure that readers are kept up to date on the important areas of development.

Book Description
Practical and user-friendly, this is the ideal guide to the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis, helping you navigate a logical management pathway through a complex maze of possibilities. Psoriasis is a cruel disease that can seriously affect the sufferer’s quality and length of life. It is also highly idiosyncratic, with features that vary greatly from patient to patient; this being mirrored in the highly variable response to treatment. It is increasingly recognized that psoriasis is not a discrete disease and that many patients suffer two or three comorbid conditions that can complicate the efforts of doctors treating patients. Psoriasis: Diagnosis and Management will provide dermatologists of all levels with a practical, well-illustrated approach to fully understanding the disease, including clear, clinical guidance to enable best-practice and effective management of patients. In full color throughout and excellently illustrated, key highlights include: easily understandable description of the psoriasis pathogenesis; a strong emphasis on the clinical features of psoriasis; careful consideration of comorbid conditions as part of the psoriatic spectrum to be managed; coverage of both traditional and contemporary management approaches; plenty of diagnostic algorithms and management protocols to aid the daily practical care of patients. Brought to you by several of the world’s leading authorities on the subject, Psoriasis: Diagnosis and Management is an essential purchase for the dermatologist.

The Psoriasis Cure
Author: Lisa LeVan
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780895299178
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Author Lisa LeVan suffered with psoriasis for years. Her physicians prescribed numerous medications to treat her condition, but while these products made her psoriasis disappear in one area, the symptoms would flare up in another place. She soon learned that traditional treatment did not treat the condition at all, it only covered up the symptoms. Not only that, it often caused dangerous, even life-threatening, side effects that were worse than the original symptoms. Ms. LeVan then decided to put her experience as a research biochemist to work to find a cure for her psoriasis. In The Psoriasis Cure she presents her remarkable discovery. The Psoriasis Cure details Lisa LeVan’s drug-free therapy for eliminating both the symptoms and root causes of psoriasis. The book begins with a clear explanation of exactly what psoriasis is and what its possible causes are. It then examines how today’s commonly prescribed treatments for psoriasis may adversely affect your health. The book goes on to provide you with guidelines for LeVan’s complete program to prevent your symptoms for returning. This book does not offer a quick fix for psoriasis. What The Psoriasis Cure does provide is a commonsense approach that, if followed, will help you rid your body of this condition with virtually no harmful side effects. Isn’t it time to take control of your psoriasis? With The Psoriasis Cure in hand, you can.

Comorbidity in Rheumatic Diseases
Author: Yasser El Miedany
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319599631
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
This book explores comorbidity in patients with rheumatic diseases and details both care and treatment options in standard clinical practice. Patients with rheumatic diseases are clinically complex, and the interplay of their disease activity with associated conditions may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Recently there have been major advances in the management of rheumatic diseases, however, without addressing the potential comorbid conditions, including cardiovascular disease; pulmonary disease; and depression; outcomes remain poor. With its 19 chapters, covering the management of major rheumatic diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus , and osteoarthritis), potential comorbidities and treatment recommendations, as well as possible interactions between conditions; this book addresses the gap between textbook medicine and day to day patients' care. Authors also discuss the new hot issue of the comorbidity index, comparing the standard tools to the recently developed indices and how they can assist the rheumatologists in determining disease burden, prognosis, and comorbidity probability. This book is an ideal clinical guide and reference that enables rheumatologists, internal medicine physicians, and residents to address the full clinical expression of these rheumatic diseases with views towards prevention or early management of comorbid conditions.
