This new, revised edition of Measuring the Skin reflects these advances by presenting the current theory and practice of noninvasive investigation and measurement of the skin and its appendices in health and disease. The first, extensive part of the book is devoted to the physiology and metrology of the various structural components of the skin. Skin functions and their measurement are then discussed in detail, with sections on mechanical protection, photoprotection, barrier function, immune function, thermoregulation, and sensory function. In addition, careful consideration is given to skin disease rating and skin maps, and a unique list of physical and biological constants and units is provided. Not only is Measuring the Skin the first comprehensive, practical handbook in this domain ? it will also serve as a manual of skin physiology and collates anatomical, functional, and physical quantitative data that would otherwise be arduous to retrieve because of their dispersal throughout the literature. It will prove a valuable resource for dermatologists, cosmetologists, bioengineers, physiologists, pharmacists, and all others who deal with the skin in their work. 606 $aDermatology 606 $aPharmacology 615 0$aDermatology. 615 0$aPharmacology. 676 $a616.5 702 $aHumbert$b Philippe$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFanian$b Ferial$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMaibach$b Howard I.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAgache$b Pierre G.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349382703321 996 $aAgache's Measuring the Skin$91551249 997 $aUNINA
