Essential Oils: Contact Allergy and Chemical Composition provides a full review of contact allergy to essential oils along with detailed analyses of the chemical composition of essential oils known to cause contact allergy. In addition to literature data, this book presents the results of nearly 6,400 previously unpublished sample analyses, by far the largest set of essential oils analyses ever reported in a single source of scientific literature.Covering 91 essential oils and two absolutes, the book presents an alphabetical list of all 4,350 ingredients that have been identified in them, a list of chemicals known to cause contact allergy and allergic contact dermatitis, and tabular indications of the ingredients that can be found in each essential oil.The book discusses contact allergy and allergic contact dermatitis for each of the oils and absolutes, sometimes able to provide only one or two reports but drawing upon considerable amounts of literature in other cases, such as with tea tree oil, ylang-ylang oil, lavender oil, rose oil, turpentine oil, jasmine absolute, and sandalwood oil.While limited information on the main components and their concentrations would be enough for most dermatologists, this book gives extensive coverage not only to improve levels of medical knowledge and quality of patient care, but also for the benefit of professionals beyond clinical study and practice, such as chemists in the perfume and cosmetics industries, perfumers, academic scientists working with essential oils and fragrances, aromatherapists, legislators, and those involved in the production, sale, and acquisition of essential oils.Key Features:Provides a full literature review of contact allergy to and chemical composition of 91 essential oils and two absolutesPresents the largest set of analytical reports on essential oils in scientific literature to dateProvides tables of all chemicals which can be found in each essential oil with concentrationsPresents an alphabetical list of 4,350 ingredients identified in the oils and absolutes with their synonyms and specifying in which oils each chemical can be present Provides a tabular list of all known allergens to the oils discussedIncludes reference tables on the quantitative composition of essential oils that are of regulatory use to the fragrance industryCovers an extensive amount of information to benefit non-medical professionals involved with the research, production, distribution, and use of essential oils and products containing essential oils

Constitutioneel eczeem is een jeukende, erfelijke huidziekte, die meestal een chronisch beloop heeft. Perioden van verbetering en van verergering van het eczeem wisselen elkaar af. De aandoening ontstaat in verreweg de meeste gevallen voor het vijfde levensjaar. Constitutioneel eczeem komt naar schatting bij 10 - 20 % van de kinderen en bij 1 - 3 % van de volwassenen voor. Daarmee behoort het tot de vijf meest frequent optredende huidziekten.''Leven met eczeem'' is geschreven voor de personen met constitutioneel eczeem, maar heeft daarnaast nog een tweede belangrijke doelgroep: ouders van kinderen met constitutioneel eczeem. Dit boek geeft antwoord op (de meeste van) deze en andere vragen. Daarbij beperken de auteurs zich niet tot de puur medische kant van de zaak. Het (ernstige) eczeem van een kind kan diep ingrijpen in het gezinsleven, bijvoorbeeld wanneer de ouders ''s nachts onvoldoende slaap krijgen; ook boosheid, verdriet en schuldgevoel kunnen een zware wissel trekken. Ook deze psychische en sociale aspecten krijgen aandacht.

In dit boek worden afwijkingen aan de bloed- en lymfevaten, die aan de voeten en onderbenen kunnen voorkomen, besproken. De belangrijkste zijn perifeer arterieel vaatlijden en chronische veneuze ziekte, maar ook minder frequente vaatpathologie wordt gepresenteerd. Voetzorgverleners kunnen bij vaatziekten een belangrijke signalerende functie hebben. Subtiele afwijkingen zoals een bleke huid of blauwige verkleuring, verminderde haargroei op de tenen of een droge en dunne huid kunnen wijzen op beginnende arteriële insufficiëntie en aanleiding zijn om gericht te vragen naar koude voeten, pijn bij het lopen of mogelijke symptomen van diabetes mellitus. Licht oedeem en uitgezette aderen aan de voeten zijn vaak de eerste tekenen van chronische veneuze ziekte en bij herkenning daarvan is verergering nog eenvoudig te voorkomen.

De opzet van het boek maakt herkenning van ziektebeelden door de gebruiker eenvoudig, onder meer door een groot aantal gedetailleerde afbeeldingen. Ook is er een apart hoofdstuk waarin niet de ziektebeelden centraal staan, maar de symptomen van vaatafwijkingen. Zo wordt bij elk symptoom (cyanose, oedeem, necrose, ulcus, hyperpigmentatie, nagelafwijkingen etc.) opgesomd bij welke vaataandoeningen deze kunnen passen en wordt via kruisverwijzingen aangegeven waar de betreffende ziektebeelden in het boek besproken worden.

De auteurs, beiden (voormalig) dermatoloog, schreven eerder voor voetzorgverleners Voeten en Huid (2009, tweede editie 2016), Nagelaandoeningen (2010, tweede editie verscheen als Voeten en Nagels in 2016), Voeten en Kanker (2016) en Voeten en Schimmels (2016).
