A drug is typically manufactured through chemical synthesis, which means that it is made by combining specific chemical ingredients in an ordered process. Biologics are medicines made from living cells through highly complex manufacturing processes and must be handled and administered under carefully monitored conditions. Biologics are used to prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure a variety of diseases including cancer, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. A biosimilar is a biologic that is similar to another biologic drug already that has already been approved. This book is a complete guide to the use of biologics and biosimilars in the treatment of dermatologic disorders. Beginning with an overview of the history and classification of biologics and the concept of biosimilars, the following chapters explain their therapeutic use for different skin conditions. The final sections cover related topics such as cost effectiveness and quality of life with biologic therapy, and the book concludes with discussion on future developments and the use of small molecule treatment. Key points Complete guide to use of biologics and biosimilars in treatment of dermatologic disorders Covers many different skin diseases and conditions Discusses related topics such as cost effectiveness and quality of life Covers future development of small molecule therapy
Dermoscopy is a non-invasive, widely used diagnostic tool that aids the diagnosis of skin lesions and is proven to increase the accuracy of melanoma diagnosis. This book is a practical, self-assessment guide to the diagnosis of skin disorders by dermoscopy. Beginning with an introduction to the technique, the following sections describe its use for different skin conditions, including pigmentation disorders, infectious diseases, skin tumours, and more. The final sections cover onychoscopy (nails) and trichoscopy (hair and scalp). Each case is highly illustrated with clinical photographs and diagrams, and includes a summary of the key features of the topic and dermoscopic clinical pearls. Key Points Practical, self-assessment guide to diagnosis of skin disorders by dermoscopy Covers numerous different skin conditions Includes sections on onychoscopy and trichoscopy Highly illustrated with clinical photographs and diagrams
