Description
Written by internationally leading experts in the field of non-invasive measurement technology of the skin, this exciting set specifically addresses engineering techniques in skin physiology, dermal pharmacology and toxicology, cosmetology, and occupational diseases.
Volume 1 - Bioengineering of the Skin: Water and the Stratum Corneum offers comprehensive information about the technology of instruments and the art of applying them in experimental settings. It contains an overview of the ultrastructure and biochemistry of the epidermal barrier, an explanation of the instruments for measuring transepidermal water loss and epidermal moisture, guidelines for standardization of measurements and communication of results, instruction by experienced investigators about how to perform product testing with these instruments, and more.
Volume 2 - Bioengineering of the Skin: Cutaneous Blood Flow and Erythema focuses on the objective measurement of two major parameters of skin function: blood flow and erythema. It covers noninvasive techniques that measure microcirculation and redness. It also discusses laser Doppler velocimetry, photoplethysmography, remittance spectroscopy and chromametry. The text includes research data on skin diseases, as well as methods for measuring skin microcirculation, international guidelines for standardizing measurements, and a review of current literature.
Volume 3 - Bioengineering of the Skin: Methods and Instrumentation provides a thorough overview of methods for noninvasive investigation of skin function. Commercially available instruments are reviewed and compared, with updated references given for each instrument. This volume offers a technical analysis of each instrument, allowing investigators to understand its biophysical principles and to make better purchases of lab instruments. It also includes the addresses of manufacturers and worldwide distributors, making this an essential reference source.
Volume 4 - Bioengineering of the Skin: Skin Surface Imaging and Analysis addresses engineering techniques for visualizing and analyzing skin surface images and profiles. This reference offers comprehensive information about the technology of instruments by explaining what the instruments measure and why and when they should be used in skin research and product testing. It provides easily accessible information on the many methods available and provides the pitfalls, strengths/weaknesses, and specific applications of the various methods. This volume also includes more than 200 photographs and illustrations showing techniques and analysis methods.
Volume 5 - Bioengineering of the Skin: Skin Biomechanics gives a thorough introduction to the biological basis of skin biomechanics. It explains the non-invasive methods that allow measurement of the mechanical properties of the skin focusing on commercially available instruments. This volume describes the anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, and pathology of skin biomechanics. It explains in detail how to measure skin mechanic properties and how to use these measurements in the development of drugs and cosmetics.
