Textbook of Aging Skin
This comprehensive ‘Major Reference Book’ compiles all current and latest information on aging skin in a two-volume set. Highly structured with a reader-friendly format, it covers a wide range of areas such as basic sciences, the different diseases and conditions which occur with aging (from malignant to non-malignant), the latest techniques and methods being used such as bioengineering methods and biometrics as well as toxicological and safety considerations for the elderly population. It also illustrates the global consumers’ sociological and psychological implications, ethnicity and gender differences and includes marketing considerations for this elderly group. This unique and comprehensive guide will become the main reference textbook on this topic.
War at the End of the World
A harrowing account of an epic, yet nearly forgotten, battle of World War II—General Douglas MacArthur's four-year assault on the Pacific War's most hostile battleground: the mountainous, jungle-cloaked island of New Guinea. “A meaty, engrossing narrative history… This will likely stand as the definitive account of the New Guinea campaign.”—The Christian Science Monitor One American soldier called it “a green hell on earth.” Monsoon-soaked wilderness, debilitating heat, impassable mountains, torrential rivers, and disease-infested swamps—New Guinea was a battleground far more deadly than the most fanatical of enemy troops. Japanese forces numbering some 600,000 men began land...
MacArthur's Victory
A GREAT WARRIOR AT THE PEAK OF HIS POWERS In March 1942, General Douglas MacArthur faced an enemy who, in the space of a few months, captured Malaya, Burma, the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, and, from their base at Raubaul in New Britain, threaten Australia. Upon his retreat to Australia, MacArthur hoped to find enough men and matériel for a quick offensive against the Japanese. Instead, he had available to him only a small and shattered air force, inadequate naval support, and an army made up almost entirely of untried reservists. Here is one of history’s most controversial commanders battling his own superiors for enough supplies, since President Roosevelt favored the European Theater; butting heads with the Navy, which opposed his initiatives; and on his way to making good his promise of liberating the Philippines. In the battles for Buna, Lae, and Port Moresby, the capture of Finschhafen, and other major actions, he would prove his critics wrong and burnish an image of greatness that would last through the Korean War. This was the “other” Pacific War: the one MacArthur fought in New Guinea and, against all odds and most predictions, decisively won.
Autoimmunity In Psoriasis
First published in 1982: The book affords a fresh outlook on the nature of psoriasis. Dermatologists and dermatopathologists have long recognized that acanthosis together with hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis are characteristic features not only of psoriasis but all of many other skin diseases.
Skin Immune System (SIS)
Immunodermatology is a field covering the majority of skin diseases, including the most prevalent onesin the general population. The Second Edition of Skin Immune System (SIS) discusses immune-mediated skin diseases and disease groups in which the SIS plays a role. It covers major findings in immunophysiology and immunopathology that have occurred since the introduction of the First Edition in 1990. As the subtitle indicates, the Second Edition adds a new emphasis on cutaneous immunology, and also includes new information on immune-based therapeutic interventions and methods, such as phototherapy and the immunological therapy of skin cancer. The book contains Part I, with introductory chapte...
The Biological Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Skin
Hardbound. Written by international experts, this outstanding collection of papers is based on the First International Symposium on the Biological Roles of Reactive Oxygen Species in Skin, held in Kyoto, Japan in May 1986. One of the more fascinating topics in biology and medicine today, reactive oxygen species are believed to play an important role in skin inflammation, carcinogenesis, and ageing. THE BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES IN SKIN presents recent research findings on a broad range of topics related to the pathogenesis and biological aspects of skin-related diseases. Physicians, dermatologists, pharmacologists, biochemists, hematologists, immunologists, pediatricians, and all others interested in the study and care of skin disorders will find that THE BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES IN SKIN is a useful and valuable source of pertinent information.
Skin
Hardbound. Skin is a mysterious organ that acts as the interface between the inner organs of the human and the outer environment. Since it is the only organ that we can readily see with our eyes and touch with our hands much importance is emphasized on new and beneficial forms of skin care development. This volume present papers from the Shiseido Science Symposium in Tokyo, Japan, gathering together an infinite number of exciting issues that explore the skin using the molecular biology techniques available today in the life sciences. The skin is examined not just from the usual, localized perspective but rather as a crucial organ essential to the maintenance of human life. Its study is used to approach the mysterious connection between mind and body. Proper skin care and treatment not only helps preserve the skin's biophysical equilibrium but can also help precipitate a biophysical virtuous cycle of beneficial results. Despite protective functions of th
