| Summary |
"Written by leading, internationally-known scholars in itch research and treatment, this volume presents the most current update on all aspects of itch research and the clinical treatment of itch that accompanies many dermatological conditions including psoriasis, neuropathic itch, cutaneous t-cell lymphomas, and systemic diseases such as kidney and liver disease and cancer. The book is designed for basic researchers, clinicians who study and treat itch, pharmaceutical companies interested in developing itch treatments, and anyone else interested in learning about itch"--Provided by publisher |
