Book Description
Numerous treatments have been proposed. But the treatment of itch remains difficult and it depends on its etiology. The understanding of the pathophysiogeny of itch is necessary. Fortunately, many very interesting results of research have been reported in the recent years. ‘Pruritis’ will explain the pathophysiogeny of itch, describe all causes, and give guidelines for management and treatment.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Aus den Rezensionen:
“… Die internationale … Autorenschaft lässt keine Lücke offen. … geschriebenen Artikel sind schwarz-weiß und farbig illustriert schnell lesbar, wie man überhaupt in dem Buch sehr Rasch navigieren kann. … Man kann das vorliegende Buch als ein Standardbuch zum Verständnis zum Nachschlagen und zum Lernen für das wichtige Gebiet Pruritus in unserem Fachgebiet und der gesamten Medizin betrachten. Es darf keinesfalls in der Bibliothek eines Dermatologen, eines Onkologen und Internisten sowie psychotherapeutische tätigen Arztes fehlen. Das Buch ist eine Bereicherung für jede Klinikbibliothek.“ (Harald Gollnick, in: JDDG Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, 2011, Vol. 9, Issue 2, S. 171)
From the Back Cover
Acute and chronic pruritus can represent significant management issues both as a common physiological sensation and as a manifestation of dermatologic and non-dermatologic diseases. All patients suffering from itch know that it is a very awkward sensation. Unfortunately, this often significant symptom is frequently considered less severe in comparison with pain. The consequences are that research on this field has been poorer than research on pain and that pruritus is therefore more difficult to treat. New concepts and discoveries have completely modified our understanding of it and have suggested new therapeutic opportunities.
Pruritus is a thorough and comprehensive reference in the management of itch designed to be a convenient resource for all physicians confronted with patients suffering from itch. The Editors have recruited a board of internationally renowned experts to provide an in-depth analysis of the causes and management of pruritus including the current concepts in pathophysiology and novel therapeutics.
