The series covers topics such as: cardiology, emergencies, orthopedics, pediatrics, dermatology, gynecology, obstetrics, neurology, infectious diseases, ophthalmology, hematology, rheumatology, oral pathology, oral diseases, orthodontics, oral internal and external medicine, periodontics, neonatology, otolaryngology, diabetes, gastroenterology and liver diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV and AIDS, and surgical signs. The original authors of these books are authorities in various disciplines of the global medical field. They have made significant contributions in pathogenesis, diagnostic techniques, and treatment methods, and all possess extensive clinical experience. Therefore, these books are academically advanced and authoritative in etiology, pathology, diagnostics, and treatment. The numerous photographs provided in the books were taken by medical professionals abroad using advanced techniques under specific conditions, and many of them are published for the first time, making them extremely valuable. The images are clear, the cases are typical, and the locations are accurate; the captions are concise and highlight key points, serving as a clinical guide for physicians in diagnosing and treating related diseases. This series of books was translated and published by experts from various medical disciplines in China, organized by our company. To ensure that the quality of the Chinese edition matches that of the original, we entrusted the original publisher to print and bind the books. This atlas focuses on the clinical diagnosis of skin manifestations of internal diseases. Regarding the layout of the atlas on this topic, there are two possible methods. The first, and also the easiest, is to classify the images based on the skin manifestations of potential diseases. For example, one chapter might cover skin abnormalities reflecting liver diseases, while another might discuss skin manifestations of kidney diseases, and so on. This method can produce a reasonably satisfactory book, but things are not as hoped. In reality, doctors often encounter skin abnormalities that cannot be identified as belonging to any specific internal disease, making it difficult for them to imagine which chapter to consult. For this reason, we adopted a method of arranging chapters based on the skin manifestations themselves, hoping readers can quickly find the relevant content. The text and images guide them to further or deeper consideration. Skin manifestations can intuitively reflect the condition of the patient. This book includes 520 color photographs showing skin symptoms related to internal diseases. It provides carefully selected clinical photographs with brief descriptions of examinations and diagnoses, arranged by symptoms for quick reference.
