Dermatological Disorders Sourcebook (Health Reference Series) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

This update of Skin Disorders Sourcebook (1997) compiles basic information relating to the prevalence, diagnosis, treatment, and research on common and rarer disorders affecting the skin, hair, and nails. The articles are from a wide variety of publications prepared by government agencies, healthcare organizations, and practitioners. After an overview of the structure, function, and problems of the skin, the selected articles--many in question-and-answer format--address preventive skin care and specific disorders from the effects of aging, allergies, and benign and malignant skin growths to complications of chemotherapy, hair product use, and body piercing. The volume concludes with dermatology-related terms and a directory of resources. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
