Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction01:30

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

443
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction

1.5K
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.8K
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...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

6.2K
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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.3K
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...

Type IV Collagen of Basal Lamina01:05

Type IV Collagen of Basal Lamina

3.2K
Type IV collagen is a 400 nm long, network-forming collagen that acts as a barrier between the epithelial and endothelial cells. Type IV collagen  forms the backbone of the basement membrane by scaffolding with laminin, entactin, proteoglycans, and fibronectin. Apart from rendering structural support to the basement membrane, it also helps entail signaling potentials necessary for both pathological and physiological functions.
A type IV collagen molecule has six alpha chains which can...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA) is commonly found in patients with calciphylaxis (CP). This study found DDA in most CP patients, suggesting a frequent association between these rare conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatopathology
  • Vascular Biology
  • Renal Medicine

Background:

  • Diffuse dermal angiomatosis (DDA) is a reactive vascular proliferation often linked to atherosclerosis.
  • Calciphylaxis (CP) is a rare condition characterized by vascular calcification and skin necrosis.
  • The co-occurrence of DDA and CP in the same patient has not been previously reported.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential association and incidence of DDA in patients diagnosed with CP.
  • To determine if DDA is a common histological finding in CP patients.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of skin biopsies from patients with histologically proven CP between 1988 and 2006.
  • Histological evaluation of nine CP patients with necrotic lesions for DDA.
  • Review of associated medical conditions and disease severity.

Main Results:

  • Diffuse dermal proliferation of vascular channels (DDA) was observed in all nine evaluated CP patients.
  • Histological findings included subcutaneous fat necrosis, calcification, and medial vascular calcification.
  • The extent of DDA did not correlate with the severity of CP.

Conclusions:

  • Diffuse dermal angiomatosis is a common histological finding in the dermis adjacent to necrotizing ulcers in patients with calciphylaxis.
  • This study establishes a frequent association between DDA and CP.
  • Further research may elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms linking these conditions.
