    Summary: This book describes the principles of laser treatment in dermatology and, taking into account these principles, provides clinicans with clear, up-to-date guidance on choice of the appropriate laser and parameters for different skin conditions. The aim is to provide a gold standard laser reference book that will meet the needs of those who are already performing laser surgery as well as novices to the field. Readers will find readily understandable coverage of both basic and advanced laser theory. Based on this theory, the authors proceed to explain all the considerations that need to be taken into account when choosing laser systems and parameters for a variety of indications, including all relevant vascular and pigmented lesions and the removal of hair, scars, and tattoos. Close attention is paid to the skin characteristics of Asians and the impacts of these characteristics on parameter selection. In addition, a separate chapter is devoted to the efficacy and safety of laser treatment of melasma, a common disease in Asians. .

    The association of certain forms of liver disease and a deficiency of alpha-1-antitrypsin is an observation which raises the possibility that other forms of liver disease ultimately will be found to have as their proximate cause a defined metabolic aberration, which may in turn be inherited. Although alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency is a genetically determined error of protein synthesis, environmental factors, unrecognised at present, are required for the disease to become overt. Thus, this interesting association may herald an increasing number of clinical diseases in which the interaction of environmental stimuli and single genetically determined aberrations are crucially important. The diseases to which we succumb may be largely determined by a genetically determined susceptibility, a point of view which was stated so well by Archibalt Garrod in his essay Inborn Factors in Disease published nearly half a century ago.
