Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.4K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Preventive Healthcare Services

2.3K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

4.0K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

6.4K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection01:29

Assessment of the Cardiovascular System II: Inspection

976
Inspection is the initial step in assessing the cardiovascular system. It involves a detailed visual examination that provides crucial information about a patient's circulatory and cardiac health. This systematic process, conducted from head to toe, helps identify signs of cardiovascular conditions by observing physical appearance, skin and mucous membranes, jugular and carotid pulsations, chest symmetry, and the condition of the extremities.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Technology
  • Primary Care

Background:

  • Dermatologic lesion screening is crucial in primary care.
  • Magnified illuminated video images can enhance screening.
  • Dermatoscopy aids in evaluating skin lesion characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of magnified video dermatologic examinations in primary care.
  • To assess the impact on diagnostic accuracy and patient-physician relationship.
  • To determine if this technology improves treatment compliance.

Main Methods:

  • 57 patients underwent traditional and magnified video dermatologic examinations.
  • Physicians recorded findings and treatment plans before and after video examination.
  • Patient reactions to recommendations and treatment were noted.

Main Results:

  • Video examination increased confidence for both patients and physicians.
  • 79 examination sites were assessed across 57 patients.
  • Changes in proposed treatment plans were observed post-video examination.

Conclusions:

  • Magnified video dermatologic examination enhances diagnostic accuracy.
  • The technology increases patient motivation for treatment compliance.
  • Both patients and physicians reported improved outcomes.
