Opis

This new text provides insight and treatment options for the covered disease, including dozens of high quality photographs, illustrations, and clinical tables. Topics covered include the history of the disease, categories of the disorder, molecular analysis, epidemiology, effects on body systems, disorder symptoms, and treatment. Acrodermatitis Enteropathica is a rare disorder of zinc metabolism that occurs in one of two forms: inborn and acquired. If untreated, the disease is fatal and affected individuals may die within just a few years, but since there is no cure for the condition, it is critical that physicians are aware of the signs and symptoms related to AE and the appropriate treatments available for patients. A Comprehensive Guide to Acrodermatitis Enteropathica is the only book of its kind to give insight into this rare disorder. Written by and for dermatologists, pediatric specialists, and ObGYN's, this book contains one of the largest clinical research studies done on Acrodermatitis Enteropathica over the last decade.​

O autorze

Pooya Khan Mohammad Beigi, MD, MSc, MPH is a Clinical Research Fellow at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, BC, Canada). He is also the Founder/CEO of Misdiagnosis Association and Society (Seattle, WA, USA), and Founder/CEO of Father Medical Charity (Vancouver, BC, Canada).

Dr. Beigi established Misdiagnosis Association and Society (MARI), with the aim of collecting and preparing the most comprehensive database of errors in medicine and conducting related medical research studies, in collaboration with health organizations, universities, clinics, professors and physicians from all around the world.

Also, he founded Father Medical Charity with the goal of helping patients in need, especially those in underdeveloped countries. This Charity collaborates with many physicians and nurses employed in underdeveloped countries, who identify patients in need and refer them to this medical charity to receive the necessary medications or facilitate treatments for them.

Dr. Beigi has presented his research studies to several international conferences, including the 2nd BC eHealth and Innovative Technology, the Canadian Pharmacists 2015, and the 23rd World Congress of Dermatology, etc. He also has written several books for Springer including; Clinician's Guide to Acrodermatitis Enteropathica (2015), Clinician's Guide to Mycosis Fungoides (2016), Clinician's Guide to Pemphigus Vulgaris (2017), Psoriasis: A Clinician's Guide (in development), Clinician's Guide to Vitiligo and other Hypopigmentation Disorders (in development) and Clinician's Guide to Hyperpigmentation Disorders (in development).

Written by and for dermatologists, pediatric and obstetrics specialists.

This book presents the groundbreaking work of Dr. Pooya Khan Mohammad Beigi M.D., whose clinical research study on Acrodermatitis Enteropathica (AE) is the largest ever conducted on this rare disorder. The only book of its kind to offer insights into AE, it not only includes dozens of high quality photographs, illustrations, and clinical tables, but also covers everything from the history of AE to categories of the disorder, molecular analysis, epidemiology, disorder signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and more.

Acrodermatitis Enteropathica is a rare disorder of zinc metabolism that occurs in one of two forms: inborn and acquired. If untreated, this disease is fatal and affected individuals may die within just a few years. Therefore, it is critical that physicians are aware of the signs and symptoms related to AE and the appropriate treatments available for patients.
