Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.5K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.2K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Asthma-III: Symptoms and Complications

3.6K
Asthma, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:

Staphylococcal Skin Infections01:29

Staphylococcal Skin Infections

72
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus that resides harmlessly on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy individuals. When the skin barrier is breached, it can shift from a commensal to an opportunistic pathogen. This transition is facilitated by surface adhesins, such as clumping factor B and S. aureus surface protein G (SasG), which bind to structural proteins, including loricrin and cytokeratin, in the damaged epidermis. Protein A, another key factor, binds the Fc region of...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

53
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Allergy

Context:

  • Adult atopic eczema is uncommon, presenting as either a relapse or a persistent condition from childhood.
  • Triggers include environmental changes like stress, irritants, and contact allergies.
  • Discontinuous topical steroid use can exacerbate severe childhood eczema in adults.

Purpose:

  • To outline the management strategies for adult atopic eczema.
  • To emphasize a patient-centered approach to treatment.
  • To discuss the role of various therapeutic agents.

Summary:

  • Therapeutic effectiveness relies on a 'patient-based medicine' approach.
  • Daily use of gradually diluted topical steroids is recommended.
  • Judicious use of topical immunosuppressants (e.g., Protopic) and systemic drugs (e.g., cyclosporine, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil) may be necessary.

Impact:

  • Provides a comprehensive overview of adult atopic eczema management.
  • Highlights the importance of tailored treatment plans for chronic skin conditions.
  • Informs clinical practice regarding the use of topical and systemic therapies.
