    This book focuses on childhood psoriasis; it comprehensively discusses various concepts and topics related to this widespread auto-immune disease, including its pathogenesis, clinical aspects, the most recent and proven therapeutic approaches as well as the management of the psychological burden generated in younger patients. By highlighting the latest information on the pathogenic mechanisms, this unique book illustrates the great variety of clinical manifestations of this condition in pediatric patients, which are often very different from those in adults and later onset cases. It describes state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches and the advantages and limitations of latest treatment options available, and also presents all comorbidities of the disease in childhood, focusing on cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, as well as on the psychological impact of the disease in both children and adolescents. Including over 90 original full-color illustrations, this book raises dermatologists’ and pediatricians’ awareness of this disease, which is increasingly being diagnosed during childhood. It also provides practical tools for best management. This clear, concise guide is intended for dermatologists, pediatricians, clinicians and researchers as well as residents in dermatology and pediatrics, but will appeal to all readers wanting to update their understanding of psoriasis in childhood

    The International Institute of the Middle Classes was created in Stuttgart (with Brussels as operating headquarter) in 1903. It was mostly inspired by F. Le Play's ideas and the chair's German socialism, and its main aims were to define middle classes and protect them from the development of monopoly capitalism and from the great industrial concentration. This paper outlines the debate concerning the definition of middle classes, within the Institution, which covered a time span ranging from the first years of the twentieth century to the second after-war. Furthermore, this study underlines the importance of the international Congresses that were organized by the Institute in various European cities (e.g., Liege in 1905, Vienna in 1908, Munich in 1911, Paris in 1924, Rome in 1927, Prague in 1935 and Brussels in 1948). Those Congresses were crucial to foreground the themes and issues associated with middle classes in Europe, and they even succeeded in affecting the manners whereby various national States were establishe

    Il volume ripercorre la storia e l’attività dell’Istituto internazionale per lo studio del problema delle classi medie nel corso della prima metà del XX secolo. l’organismo, crocevia di matrici culturali e teoriche diverse, che si rifanno, tra gli altri, a F. le Play, G. Schmoller e L. Luzzatti, nasce a Stoccarda nel 1903 e stabilisce la propria sede operativa a Bruxelles. In esso intellettuali, scienziati sociali,funzionari di stato, esponenti di organizzazioni private si propongono di raccogliere materiale informativo sulla situazione delle classi medie in Europa e nel mondo, di analizzare le misure avviate a loro sostegno dai governi, di progettare politiche di pacificazione e di sviluppo “armonioso” della società. Sulla base di fonti inedite, costituite principalmente dagli atti dei Congressi organizzati dall’istituto in varie città e capitali europee, la ricerca si confronta col problema della sfuggente definizione delle “classi medie” e si concentra su questioni storiografiche ancora poco esplorate. tra queste, le finalità e i caratteri dell’internazionalismo a favore di questi gruppi sociali, le ricadute sulle politiche interne ed estere degli stati, i risvolti organizzativi e associazionistici, il rapporto con la crisi dei sistemi liberali. Particolare attenzione è rivolta all’Italia per il ruolo di primo piano che i suoi rappresentanti svolgono all’interno dell’istituto
