This is a collection of clinical, molecular, biological socioepidemiological and immunological research. It seeks to bridge the gap between clinical aspects and basic biology of HPV.

Discusses and presents common skin conditions and research protocols for the testing of products including the practical use of instruments in the laboratory and in the field.

Skin bioengineering is an expanding field of investigative and clinical dermatology. This guide describes the commercially available techniques and instruments. It provides an overview of methods for non-invasive investigation of skin function.

This work offers the research findings of Kirsti Kauppinen and associates. It stresses practical cause-and-effect data in documenting adverse drug reactions, describes 12 of the common drug eruptions in detail, and addresses the specific reactions that commonly affect HIV-infected patients.

Presenting the newest findings, the book focuses on biological advances that improve knowledge and lead to new opportunities for research and clinical applications.
