      Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is one of the most important causes of morbidity and therapeutic costs especially in Western countries such as Australia, Europe and United States of America. The overall NMSC rates have risen precipitously in the last three decades, leading to an increase in patients seeking treatment from dermatologists, facial plastic surgeons, plastic surgeons, and related disciplines. The head and neck is a region in which anatomical, functional and aesthetic problems may occur; therefore, clinicians, surgeons and researchers are working to find new diagnostic techniques and therapeutic modalities. This issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics reviews different topics in NMSC in-depth with discussion, figures, tables, clinical, histopathological and surgical photographs, and provides an up-to-date information source for the clinicians and surgeons. Guest Editor Cemal Cingi, an expert clinician and researcher in cancers of the head and neck, leads an international panel of authors on this subject.

      Depuis une vingtaine d'années, la médecine tropicale a développé un nouveau champ d'application, la médecine des voyages. Le médecin généraliste est maintenant fréquemment consulté par des voyageurs présentant des problèmes de santé au retour d'un séjour tropical ou pour des conseils et des recommandations avant de partir dans un pays « à risque » (vaccinations recommandées ou obligatoires, chimioprophylaxie, conseils alimentaires). Le succès des précédentes éditions et la constante évolution des traitements imposaient aux auteurs d'effectuer une mise à jour de l'ouvrage. Plus qu'une simple réactualisation, il s'agit d'une véritable évolution avec de nouveaux sujets, notamment un chapitre consacré à la médecine des migrants ainsi qu'à la santé internationale. Ce guide pratique, clair et concis, qui fait largement appel à des tableaux et des fiches « maladies », permet au médecin généraliste de trouver rapidement les informations utiles pour : - les précautions à prendre avant d'entreprendre un voyage en zone « tropicale » ; - les symptômes et pathologies du retour ainsi que l'interprétation des résultats de laboratoire ; - les maladies infectieuses, dermatologiques, gastroentérologiques et infections sexuellement transmissibles les plus fréquemment observées.Rédigé par une équipe multidisciplinaire, cet ouvrage est indispensable à tout médecin généraliste ou urgentiste qui se trouve confronté quotidiennement à ces patients au cours de son activité.
