A guide to the field of dermatotoxicology. This edition includes fundamental information on the mechanisms of action of toxic substances on skin as well as practical information on the varied responses of skin to specific toxic substances and approaches to evaluating dermal toxicity. Other topics discussed include: hostile natural elements, such as ultraviolet radiation, poisonous plants, man-made detergents and chemicals; problems associated with chronic occupational skin exposure to toxic chemicals; animal alternative research programmes; carcinogenic and Photo Carcinogenic Potential Of Xenobiotic Chemicals; Oculotoxicity; Risk assessment and management; and cosmetic safety. Anatomical factors affecting barrier functions/ lipids of the permeability barrier/the skin immune system.
Major skin diseases, including acne, psoriasis and eczcma, affect the majority of the population at some time in their lives. In general, these diseases are physically and psychologically disfiguring for the sufferers; furthermore, by their very chronic nature skin diseases, unlike most other disease processes, present both acute and chronic therapy problems. In addition, the chronic nature of these diseases can present certain economic problems. Firstly, chronic therapy is becoming increasingly expensive and secondly, patients adhering to a strict treatment regimen will frequently be absent from their gainful employment for either medical consultation or treatment. Given that in all NATO countries the average age of the population is continually increasing, these chronic skin diseases will increase in importance in the coming years. Furthermore, as the average population age increases, additional disease processes such as skin photodamage and carcinogenicity risk becoming major areas of therapeutic concern. This book reviews in detail the major scientific areas of interest for research and clinical scientists working in skin pharmacology and toxicology. The basic principles relating to an understanding of how drugs and chemicals may influence either the skin or the body as a whole are discussed in detail by recognized international scientific experts.
For twenty-five years, Dermatotoxicology has stood as the definitive reference book in the field. A generation of toxicologists and dermatologists has consulted this volume throughout their careers, finding within it a wealth of theoretical and practical guidance. Updated and expanded to reflect the latest developments in skin toxicology, Dermatotoxicology, Sixth Edition includes fundamental information on the mechanisms of action of toxic substances on the skin, as well as practical information on the various methods to evaluating dermal toxicity. It is unparalleled in its coverage, and this new edition broadens its scope to include chapters on: * Barrier Creams * Cosmetic Reactions * UV Radiation Exposure * Electron Paramagnetic Resonance * Powdered Human Stratum Corneum * Iontophoresis * Permeability of Skin for Metal Compounds * Current Trends in Skin Cancer Research * Tape Stripping Method v. Stratum Corneum * Hazardous Substances from Soil and Water * Isolated Perfused Porcine Skin Flap * Physiologically-based Pharmacokinetic Models This completely revised and reworked edition constitutes a major contribution to the field of dermatotoxicology. Presenting the most modern concepts and methods in use today, researchers and clinicians will find this an invaluable resource time and time again.
This concise collection of contributions brings together researchers from many areas of dermatology, including allergology, bioengineering and pharmacology, in commemoration of the 65th birthday of Howard I. Maibach. It reflects only a small number of the fields where Professor Maibach has made a lasting impression. Highlights of this volume include a study on an allergen bank and the ideas behind it, a comprehensive presentation of textile dye contact allergens, and the clinical standardization of the TRUE Test formaldehyde patch. Contributions in bioengineering and occupational dermatology deal with quantification of biophysical properties of the skin, irritancy exposure assessment in metal workers, and the effects of surfactants on skin hydration. A large section on skin pharmacology provides the reader with solid research data and incisive commentaries from researchers and leading authorities on issues of in vitro and in vivo percutaneous absorption, skin metabolism, topical bioavailability and bioequivalency. Dermatologists, pharmacologists and toxicologists will have much to gain from having a copy of this volume close at hand.
