  • Brow and Upper Eyelid Surgery: Multispecialty Approach

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40-1
    • Guy G Massry + 1 more
    • English
    Traditionally, professional medical and surgical society meetings, journals, and texts are single-specialty driven to accommodate specific specialists with information most important to them. A consequence of this structure is that it can create an unintentional and artificial barrier to sharing knowledge that can benefit patient outcomes. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons, more than ever, are seeking to know what other specialists are doing. This publication, the first of a series, focuses on the brow and upper eyelid rejuvenation and presents varied and complementary techniques from the core specialties of Plastic surgery, Oculoplastic surgery, Facial plastic surgery, and Dermatology to address all aspects of rejuvenation procedures of the upper face. Surgical and non-invasive techniques are presented concisely, focusing on time-tested as well as novel procedures. The most talented and accomplished subspecialists in their respective fields provide insights into such topics as Preoperative Evaluation for the Upper Eyelid and Brow; Aesthetic Enhancements in Upper Blepharoplasty; Asian Upper Lid Blepharoplasty; Prevention and Intraoperative Management of Blepharoplasty Complications; Ptosis Repair in Aesthetic Blepharoplasty; Adjunctive Fat Grafting of the Brow/Upper Lid; The Open Brow Lift; Adjunctive Skin Care of the Brow and Upper Lid; among many others. Specific techniques, Patient perspective and goals, and clear anatomic descriptions are presented with each procedure, with several offering technique videos. Guest editors Babak Azizzadeh and Guy Massry strongly believe that, with more and varied practitioners with different training taking on cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries or procedures, transparency of information is essential in order to expose the best information to all practitioners of this art and science.

  • Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer of the Head and Neck, An Issue of Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 20-4
    • Cemal Cingi
    • English
    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.
  • Médecine des voyages et tropicale

    Médecine des migrants
    • 3rd Edition
    • Olivier Bouchaud + 4 more
    • French
    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.
