For many years, the need for good Indian books in every specialty of Pediatrics was felt. Indian Academy of Pediatrics has no dearth of great teachers and writers in the various subspecialties to author these books. Their dedicated and diligent labor has created the beautiful and eminently readable book that you hold. An Indian book by Indian authors will appropriately suit the needs of the readers in India and in countries with similar geographical and sociocultural milieus. While the first editions of the IAP subspecialty series were published in 2006, we proudly present to you a second, completely revised and updated edition. The IAP specialty series books serve the purpose of providing evidence based, authentic and uniform information to IAP members, other Pediatricians, and students of Pediatrics in the country. Guidelines and established protocols on disease management will be very helpful for pediatricians in their everyday practice. Creating a book is like the birth of a baby. Right from conception to delivery, there is a long and complex process. It is very labor intensive, time consuming work that involves considerable financial expense too. To streamline the entire process from writing to editing to publishing to distribution and sales of books, it was envisioned to have an additional wing of IAP, and which is established as "IAP National Publication House" at Gwalior. Knowledge has no limits and seekers of knowledge can access the subject from anywhere in the world. We understand that books published by IAP NPH will be read and referred not only in India but in many parts of the world. Objective of IAP NPH therefore is to provide

Pruritus is the most frequently described symptom in dermatology and can significantly impair the patient’s quality of life. In 10–50% of adults with persistent pruritus, it can be an important dermatologic clue for the presence of a significant underlying systemic disease such as renal insufficiency, cholestasis, hematologic disorder, or malignancy (Etter and Myers, 2002; Zirwas and Seraly, 2001). This review describes the presence of pruritus in different systemic diseases. It is quite important to discover the cause of pruritus for providing relief for the patients experiencing substantial morbidity caused by this condition. 1. Pruritus Endocrinal Disorders.

Bu bağlamda öncelikle Eski Çağda bölgenin tarihi coğrafyası ve bu dönemde gerçekleşmiş, söz konusu saha üzerinden yapılan veya bu yollardan geçen savaşlar ele alınmıştır. Ardından Orta Çağda gerçekleşen Bizans Selçuklu mücadeleleri sırasında kullanılan yol güzergahları değerlendirilmiş sonrasında ise I., II., ve III. Haçlı Seferleri esnasında kullanılan yol güzergahları ana kaynaklar ve topografik eserler yardımı ile incelenmeye alınmıştır. Çalışmada konunun aydınlatılmasına yardımcı olması açısından söz konusu sahanın tarihi coğrafyası, Bithynia, Mysia, Troas, Aiolis, Lydia, Ionia ve Phrygia olacak şekilde sırasıyla ele alınmıştır.

Present for 4 weeks. Nodular fasciitis is a self-limited pseudosarcomatous proliferation that may cause clinical alarm due to its rapid growth. It is most common in young adults but occurs across a wide age range. This lesion is typically 3-5 cm and composed of bland fibroblasts and myofibroblasts without significant cytologic atypia arranged in a loose storiform pattern with areas of extravasated red blood cells. Mitoses may be numerous, but atypical mitotic figures are absent. Nodular fasciitis is a benign process, and recurrence is very rare (1%). Recent work has shown that the MYH9-USP6 gene fusion is present in approximately 90% of cases, and molecular techniques to show USP6 gene rearrangement may be a helpful ancillary tool in difficult cases or on small biopsy samples.
