Synopsis

This new edition brings together five leading authorities in nail surgery to this well established and definitive textbook. The entire text is extended in this edition, and particular emphasis is placed on the advances in treatments that have taken place in recent years. Considerable strides have been made in the treatment of fungal diseases (onychomycoses) with the appearance of new therapeutic agents. There is also much greater coverage of nail surgery to reflect the increasing involvement of the dermatologist in this field. The section on nail tumours has also been expanded. Drs Baran and Dawber have been joined by David de Berker, Eckhart Haneke and Antonella Tosti on the editorial team. This move is representative of the major European contribution to the field of nail surgery in recent years. Significant contribution has come from Dr Elvin Zook, the eminent American hand surgeon, who has helped to ensure that the book is a relevant in North America is it is in Europe.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

In the ten years since the first edition of this book was published, the sub–speciality of nail disease has grown substantially in terms both of the understanding of the diseases which are present and their treatment. Then, this book was hailed as an authoritative volume in which nearly every article published about nail disease is mentioned, and an attempt is made to record every disease in which nail defects have been noted ( British Medical Journal).

The new edition has undergone fundamental change, particularly in respect of molecular biology, and the place of nail surgery. The chapter on investigations has been integrated and that on fungi reflects the tremendous growth in the availability of microbiological agents in recent years.

The comprehensive text is now supported by over 900 four–colour photographs.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is a comprehensive reference book on all aspects of the structure and function of the nail apparatus in health and disease. As a subspecialty of dermatology, nail abnormalities are often neglected in dermatological training, and therefore, there is a real need for a ′bench′ reference book in this area. This book covers all aspects of nail disease, but the detailed chapters on nail surgery and nail tumors are unique in their comprehensiveness. This new edition is larger, more detailed and now has over 1000 color photographs and diagrams.
