    Summary: Since the first edition of this book was published in 2004, to much acclaim, the pace of innovation in the field of skin metrology has increased and various new technologies have become available. This new, revised edition reflects these advances by presenting the current theory and practice of noninvasive investigation and measurement of the skin and its appendices in health and disease. The first, extensive part of this authoritative work is devoted to the physiology and metrology of the various structural components of the skin. Skin functions and their measurement are then discussed in detail, with sections on mechanical protection, photoprotection, barrier function, immune function, thermoregulation, and sensory function. In addition, careful consideration is given to skin disease rating and skin maps, and a unique list of physical and biological constants and units is provided. Not only is this new edition the first comprehensive, practical handbook in this domain – it will also serve as a manual of skin physiology and collates anatomical, functional, and physical quantitative data that would otherwise be arduous to retrieve because of their dispersal throughout the literature. It will prove a valuable resource for dermatologists, cosmetologists, bioengineers, physiologists, pharmacists, and all others who deal with the skin in their work.

    The variation of immune serum globulin concentrations in 14 pigs was determined after unilateral allogenic renal transplantation. Measures by which it is possible to exert certain immunological influences were not taken. Subsequent to transplantation there was observed a significant decrease in both IgM and IgG which was not correlated with the behaviour of plasma proteins and albumin. Because of the relatively small loss of IgG in the urine of animals on which transplantations were performed, this cannot be considered to be the cause of the decrease in immunoglobulin. It was already on the 3rd day after transplantation that an increase in IgM was observed which after reaching a peak of about + 30% was again followed by a distinct decrease of which the minimum was noted between the 6th and 15th days after transplantation. 10 animals died within the first phase, and in 4 of them death occurred on account of rejection for which histological evidence could be obtained. Although 3 of the 4 animals surviving for a longer period of time were also observed to suffer from distinct rejective crises between the 8th and 15th day after transplantation, they were able to overcome those crises without any therapeutical intervention. After some time, however, they were experiencing another IgM peak (this time greater than + 80%) which was followed, after 3 to 11 days, but the final crisis of rejection and death of the animal. In a few cases, glomerular IgM deposits were found in transplanted kidneys.
