- BookNeelam A. Vashi, Howard I. Maibach, editors.Summary: Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair is a comprehensive text that extensively examines cutaneous disease in persons with skin of color. The breadth of knowledge in this book encompasses the wide scope of dermatologic disease with 26 distinct and unique chapters. It serves as a guide to the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders for those populations with darker skin types. Vashi and Maibach's Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair provides an overview of medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology in addition to providing an extensive anthropological and basic science background to fully understand skin disorders in persons of color. Topics of discussion include anthropology of skin and hair, biophysical properties of ethnic skin, structure and function of the skin, physiologic pigmentation, mucosal lesions, acne, rosacea, inflammatory disorders, infections, autoimmune disorders, connective tissue disease, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation and depigmentation, keloids, scarring, pediatric disease, alopecias, adnexal disorders, common cosmetic concerns and treatments, and cultural considerations.

Cultural Considerations.Digital Access Springer 2017 - ArticleKootstra G, West JC, Dryburgh P, Krom RA, Putnam CW, Weil R.Surgery. 1978 Mar;83(3):333-7.A group of 24 kidneys from donors ranging in age from 1 1/2 to 10 years were transplanted singly into adults and were compared to a group of 44 adult cadaveric kidneys transplanted into adults. There were no vascular complications in either group. There were two urological complications in the 24 pediatric donor cases and none with the adult donor cases. During the first month after transplantation, the mean creatinine clearance was lower in the pediatric donor group; later the function of the pediatric donor kidneys was at least as good as the function of the adult donor grafts. In the group of pediatric donor kidneys, the outcome using kidneys from donors younger than 3 years of age was less satisfactory than for donors 3 to 10 years of age. These data suggest that transplantation of a single pediatric kidney into an adult, particularly if the pediatric donor is at least 3 years of age, will provide satisfactory renal function.
