Opis

Proving again that a picture is worth a thousand words, Atlas of Women's Dermatology: From Infancy to Maturity is an encyclopedia in pictorial format. The book illustrates diseases and conditions that demonstrate the very different morphology between the sexes. It includes clinical entities that help complete a section or because the lack of gender difference makes the clinical presentation significant. The chapters are organized by anatomical topography, and each includes 10-15 color photographs with concise captions, and a reference list. The second section is based on physiologic changes found from infancy to maturity, and a third section covers cosmetic procedures and camouflage methods.

Recenzje

"While this atlas has some good photos of dermatoses of pregnancy and of specific parts of the anatomy (i.e., breast, vulva), in general the usefulness of this book is very limited. Most of the skin diseases mentioned are not specific to women, the photos are not arranged for easy reference, and there is no accompanying text to aid the reader. Since the atlas is supposed to complement a textbook published in 2001, these photos may, indeed, be helpful for this purpose."

- Doody's Review, Kathleen E. Kramer, MD(Stanford University)

"There are many interesting pictures worth looking at. As we are members of a speciality that relies on visual recognition both specialist dermatologists and trainees can always gain benefit from having another atlas in their library to gaze at."

"It is always valuable for a dermatologist to view different presentations of skin disease and a useful concept to concentrate on conditions affecting one gender in particular."

"The conditions depicted are not only identified by a commonly accepted dermatological term but are given a code from the Dermatology Lexicon Project, an admirable initiative centred at the University of Rochester designed to develop a consistent accurate terminology for dermatology."

- Elizabeth Willsteed (Australasian Journal of Dermatology, No. 47, Nov 2006)
