Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: ReumatologÃa DermatologÃa Vasos sanguineos AngiologÃa Clasificación: 616.723 Resumen: Este Atlas examina las úlceras cutáneas en pacientes afectados por esclerosis sistémica. Aunque no ponen en peligro la vida, las úlceras digitales causan un dolor enorme, afectan la función y la calidad de vida y pueden provocar complicaciones locales graves como gangrena, osteomielitis y pérdida permanente de tejido. El conocimiento y comprensión de estas úlceras es fundamental en la práctica diaria para llegar a un diagnóstico precoz preciso, un análisis correcto de las caracterÃsticas de las úlceras y un tratamiento directo y sistemático adecuado. Con ese fin, este libro describe todas las caracterÃsticas principales de las úlceras cutáneas en la esclerosis sistemática, incluida la clasificación, evaluación y categorización. Ricamente ilustrado para uso práctico, Atlas de úlceras en la esclerosis sistémica: diagnóstico y tratamiento es un recurso esencial para médicos y profesionales afines, residentes y estudiantes de posgrado en reumatologÃa, dermatologÃa y angiologÃa.

Tipo de medio : Computadora Summary : This Atlas examines skin ulcers in patients affected by systemic sclerosis. Although they are not life threatening, digital ulcers cause enormous pain, impact function and quality of life, and can lead to serious local complications such as gangrene, osteomyelitis, and permanent tissue loss. Knowledge and understanding of these ulcers is pivotal in everyday practice in order to arrive at an accurate early diagnosis, a correct analysis of ulcer characteristics, and an appropriate direct and systematic treatment. To that end, this book describes all the major characteristics of skin ulcers in systematic sclerosis, including classification, evaluation, and categorization. Richly illustrated for practical use, Atlas of Ulcers in Systemic Sclerosis: Diagnosis and Management is an essential resource for physicians and related professionals, residents, and graduate students in rheumatology, dermatology, and angiology.
