By Neil Sadick
2010 (1st ed), 169 pages, $135 list
Filler techniques are the most widely used surgical procedures in
cosmetic surgery, as they are the best method of reducing wrinkles on a
long-term basis. For years, dermatologists have known that water-binding
soft-tissue fillers can replace the loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic
acid from the skin. Because filler formulas and application techniques are
constantly updated and reevaluated, the dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon need
a quick reference on the subject. This new text, edited by world-renowned
dermatologist Dr. Neil S. Sadick, covers all the main aspects of soft-tissue
filler techniques. Subjects covered include choosing and applying fillers;
short-, intermediate-, and long-acting fillers; and combination approaches, as
well as anesthetic considerations, equipment and patient positioning, operative
procedures, potential complications, and postoperative evaluation.

a differential diagnosis based upon pattern recognition. As each entity is
addressed, there will be a concise discussion of the basic clinical findings
and epidemiologic associations. This will be followed by a histologic
description, highlighting areas that serve to discriminate between the entity
under discussion and similar ones. Any immunologic studies that might augment
the diagnostic sensitivity or specificity will be discussed.

Preventative Dermatology
By Robert
Norman
2010 (1st
ed), 300 pages, $129 list
Preventative
Dermatology is the first book fully dedicated to prevention of skin disease. It
seems almost counter-intuitive to take on this task, because so much of what we
do in dermatology is based on repair and restructuring of skin maladies.
However, the shortage of dermatology providers and the shift to cosmetics and
procedures mean that it is essential to give patients choice when deciding the
best options for themselves and their therapy and to maximize their experience
of receiving the best quality healthcare.

Advances in Melanoma, An Issue of Hematology/Oncology Clinics
By David Fisher
2009 (1st ed), 240
pages, $90 list
The field of melanoma biology has
experienced a remarkable surge in recent years, owing to progress which has
ranged from the most basic laboratory/preclinical discoveries to clinical
developments that have begun to transform the management and prognosis for at
least certain melanoma patients. Among the key areas that have contributed to
this progress are studies relating to signaling and transcriptional pathways
that regulate control over differentiation and survival of the melanocyte
lineage. The identification of recurring activating mutations in specific
signaling factors (B-RAF, N-Ras, c-KIT), amplification of other melanoma
oncogenes (MITF, NEDD9), and the crucial recognition that certain of these
genomic events occur within melanomas arising with specific clinical features
(eg mucosal or acral origin) have led to clear recognition that melanoma is
indeed many different diseases.

Non-Surgical Treatment of Keratinocyte Skin Cancer

pages, 43 illus, $139 list
With
more and more patients suffering from field cancerisation, an alternative for

leaves scars and nowadays the cosmetic outcome of therapy is becoming increasingly

possibilities of non-surgical therapy are gaining popularity, particularly in
low malignancy tumours. This reader-friendly clinical guide offers treatment
options for the growing group of these patients. It describes the current
state-of-the art for non-surgical treatment of this type of skin cancer, and
gives factual knowledge to beginners and new inspirations to experts.

Filler techniques are the most widely used surgical procedures in
cosmetic surgery, as they are the best method of reducing wrinkles on a
long-term basis. For years, dermatologists have known that water-binding

dermatologist Dr. Neil S. Sadick, covers all the main aspects of soft-tissue
filler techniques. Subjects covered include choosing and applying fillers;
short-, intermediate-, and long-acting fillers; and combination approaches, as

Inflammatory Dermatoses
By Bruce Smoller
2010 (1st ed), 315 pages, 323 illus, $60 list
Inflammatory
Dermatoses: The Basics will serve as an effective and efficient handbook
for the student of dermatopathology, and as a practical bench reference for the
practicing diagnostician who desires rapid access to criteria that are useful
in differentiating histologically similar entities. The reader will be able to
focus upon a single histologic observation, i.e., inflammatory conditions
without epidermal changes, and use this as a starting point from which to build
a differential diagnosis based upon pattern recognition. As each entity is
addressed, there will be a concise discussion of the basic clinical findings
and epidemiologic associations. This will be followed by a histologic
description, highlighting areas that serve to discriminate between the entity
under discussion and similar ones. Any immunologic studies that might augment
the diagnostic sensitivity or specificity will be discussed.

2009 (1st ed), 300
pages, $159 list
Skin
cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm and its incidence is rising

Skin Cancer after Organ Transplantation
By Eggert Stockfleth
2009 (1st ed), 502
pages, 60 illus, $149 list
Organ
transplantation has been performed for almost 40 years with steadily increasing
success regarding long-time survival of the graft, as well as quality of life
for the patient. However, graft tolerance only can be achieved via induction
and maintenance of an impaired immunological surveillance. An increase of skin
cancers as a consequence of the lowered cellular immunoresponse seems to
parallel the overall increased long-time survival rate of organ transplant
recipients. Against the background of chronic immunosuppression known risk
factors like the amount of sun exposure prior and post transplantation,
oncogenic viruses as well as the genetic background, and place of residence
(latitude) are strongly related with the increased skin cancer incidence.
Stolz:
Color Atlas of Dermatoscopy
By Wilhelm Stolz
2009 (3rd ed), 240
pages, 500 illus, $180 list
The continuous, worldwide demand for
this standard atlas has encouraged the authors and publishers to prepare an
updated and enlarged third edition. Dermatoscopy is a relatively new technique
and allows the doctor to make a rapid and highly accurate assessment of whether
a pigmented lesion (mole) is likely to be malignant. Otherwise, the patient
would have to undergo a biopsy and laboratory analysis of the specimen. Thus, a
dermatoscope, costing a 100 dollars, can save lives, or at least, the high
costs of unnecessary surgery. This book is a highly visual guide to the subject
and will teach the necessary pattern recognition skills. It really is an atlas,
in that, it contains over 500 high resolution colour photographs with detailed
accompanying diagrams to explain how to recognise the key diagnostic features
of each lesion. The main focus of the book is the daily challenge which physicians
face when evaluating patients with pigmented lesions.

Each case study puts the individual patient into a larger context of the
disease as it is seen in the patient population as a whole. Full-color
photographs and illustrations complement the case studies, while a uniform
presentation of the material across the book enhances readability.
