"MODERN OVER THE GOOD AND OLD"

Harefuah
Sharon Baum, Aviv Barzilai

Abstract

Modern dermatology is a reflection of the advances achieved in the general medical world. Thus, in recent years, dermatology encompasses many different fields and consequently, various subspecialties were created. In addition to dermatopathology and dermatosurgery, which are formal subspecialties, other fields of expertise include: autoimmune diseases, especially bullous diseases, hair and nail disorders, allergic diseases, infectious diseases and pigmented lesion clinics and oncodermatology. This current issue of "Harefuah" incorporates research and review articles from experts of the different subspecialties mentioned. "Do not favor the modern over the good and old" means that alongside innovations one must not forget the traditional approaches. Nowadays, a good medical practice requires a comprehensive and broad vision that includes up-to-date information on diagnostic modalities and advanced treatments in conjunction with the traditional diagnostic tools and therapies (which usually cost less), thus allowing patients to benefit from a broader spectrum of treatment options.
