Sommario/riassunto

"Edited by two well-known experts in the field, this book assembles important new scientific information on all aspects of irritant contact dermatitis. It covers clinical features, epidemiology, prevention and therapy and presents exciting new pathophysiological data. Several contributions focus on irritant contact dermatitis in the workplace, where early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent chronic and costly occupational skin disease. New data on immunological, biochemical and biophysical events in irritant dermatitis are also included. A highly informative section by leading researchers sheds light on current attempts to replace animal testing by techniques based on in vitro cell or tissue culture. These are innovations increasingly called for by regulating agencies and the general public." "The volume provides a unique source of information for clinical dermatologists and allergologists, occupational physicians, toxicologists, pharmacologists,



cosmetologists and bioengineers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
