AN ATLAS OF HAIR PATHOLOGY WITH CLINICAL CORRELATIONS 2ED (HB 2012) Hardcover

Residency training often lacks in-depth coverage of diagnosing and treating hair disorders, leaving dermatopathologists and clinical dermatologists with knowledge gaps. The second edition of the highly praised "An Atlas of Hair Pathology with Clinical Correlations" aims to fill this void, acting as an introductory guide, a visual atlas, and a comprehensive reference. Key features include: foundational information on hair anatomy: examination of clinical signs to establish connections between clinical presentation and pathology: detailed practical steps for evaluating hair specimens: new images illustrating both basic and advanced microscopic characteristics of hair diseases: and exploration of several newly recognized conditions. Specific disorders discussed in this edition include age-related hair loss, loose anagen hair syndrome, alopecia associated with psoriasis, and hair loss induced by chemotherapy. Additionally, the book provides a glossary of terms relevant to hair pathology.
