By Neena Khanna
Illustrated Synopsis of Dermatology & Sexually Transmitted Diseases has been used for almost 2 decades as the standard textbook of Dermatology by UGs. The book through its previous 6 editions has helped the students prepare for their PG entrance exams, with several coaching programs using its images (in a session ‘in wit’ called Neena Khanna images) to hone the student’s ‘NEET cracking skills’. But the purpose of this book really goes much beyond that—it is an endeavor to create in the UGs an interest in this extremely versatile subject and clinically make them ‘dermatology literate’. Since a third of patients seen by general practitioners or a pediatrician have skin issues, physicians with a basic knowledge of Dermatology will be able to guide their patients better, without succumbing to the temptation of prescribing steroids as ‘a panacea for all skin ills’. The book has also been used as a quick reference by dermatology PGs’ in infancy of their residency and a keepsake by general physicians and pediatricians.New to This Edition• Covers the UG curriculum according to competency-based guidelines enunciated by National Medical Council(NMC) of India, with competencies mapped in the book where they are discussed in an easy-to-understand mannerwith ‘to the point synopsis’ and bulleted, well-illustrated text and ‘loads’ of images.• Illustrative case studies, based on core competencies mandated by the NMC for UGs.• Several new high quality clinical images, added to the ‘already extremely well illustrated’ book, which now has atotal of about 940 images including 140 line diagrams and in addition has 150 tables and management flowcharts.• Latest diagnostic techniques, drugs, lasers and biologicals.• Recent guidelines in management of sexually transmitted and HIV infection, and leprosy.Salient Features• The popular student-friendly format of the previous editions (synopsis, crisp bulleted text peppered with numeroushigh-quality images, each with a descriptive legend, flowcharts, clues to differential diagnosis and tabulatedtherapeutic strategies) has been retained.• Discusses all common and relevant skin diseases.• Tabulates differential diagnoses of common dermatoses—a feature totally unique to this book.Online Features• Complimentary access to full e-book.• Chapter-based lecture PPTs.• Chapter-wise Multiple-Choice Questions.
