Update in Dermatologic Drug Therapy
We are honored and pleased with the idea that Croatian Academy of Medical Sciences is organizer of Congress and a book „Update in Dermatological Drug Therapy“. The Contents presented in this book represent a scientific and professional challenge, dedicated to drug therapy. Skin is the largest organ of our body, which with its appendages hair, nails, and glands has complex structure. The skin is permanently exposed to different environmental influence and is a mirror of internal diseases influence. According definition of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS), Section of Dermatology and Venereology: “Dermatology is organ specialized that is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment (both medical and surgical) and prevention of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.” Medicine is a science, which integrates the current scientific knowledge on health and diseases, in this book, caused by drugs. We believe that today, more than ever before in the history of medicine, it is essential to achieve a good balance between science and humanity not letting technology engulfs the doctor-patient relationship, which is really at the core of medical practice. Besides dermatovenerologists with a main role, there are important internal medicine specialists, immunologists, infectologists, gynecologists included with their knowledge on recognizing of drug side-effects. About 30% of patients have dermatologic problems in every day routine of family physicians.Treatment of skin disease has changed remarkably during the last 10 years. Thus, novel targets have been identified and specific drugs developed which directly interfere with or alter the processes. Many of these new agents are administered systematically, either orally or by subcutaneous injection. And yet, as with all forms of drug therapy, these highly efficacious agents can be associated with severe side effects and drug-induced toxicity. To understand the etiopathogenetic mechanisms of drug induced as well as adverse events why a certain disease occurs and how to find the best cure for it. With the rapid development of novel therapeutics, there has been a major evolution in the clinical practice of dermatovenerology.
