Introduction to Connective Tissues01:11

Introduction to Connective Tissues

Connective tissues are one of the four main tissue types in humans that are extensively present in the body. They are characterized by cells embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of a ground substance and three main types of protein fibers— collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers. The ground substance of connective tissues can range from a watery and jelly-like consistency to mineralized and hard. The wide variety of cells in the connective tissues include fibroblasts, osteocytes,...
Connective Tissue Cell Types01:22

Connective Tissue Cell Types

Connective tissue develops from the mesoderm of a developing embryo and consists of cells, fibers, and ground substance: a gel-like material containing large complexes of carbohydrates and proteins. Connective tissue was first identified as a separate tissue family in the 18th century, and Johannes Peter Muller coined the term connective tissue.
Fat cells (adipocytes), smooth muscle cells (myoblasts), and bone cells (osteoblasts) are some connective tissue cell types. Some immune system cells...
T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...
Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

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...
Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Psoriasis, an autoimmune skin disease, can co-occur with connective tissue diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Early recognition and multidisciplinary care by dermatologists and rheumatologists are crucial for managing these complex cases.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Psoriasis is a prevalent autoimmune skin condition.
  • Connective tissue diseases are a diverse group of autoimmune disorders.
  • Associations between psoriasis and connective tissue diseases are infrequently reported but clinically significant.

Purpose:

  • To review the literature on associations between psoriasis and rheumatic diseases.
  • To examine the etiologic, pathogenic, clinical, and therapeutic aspects of these comorbidities.
  • To highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for patient management.

Summary:

  • The review focuses on psoriasis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic sclerosis.
  • Emphasis is placed on the clinical features of psoriasis co-occurring with dermatomyositis.
  • The association with systemic lupus erythematosus is the most frequently described, though often in single cases.

Impact:

  • Understanding these associations is vital for effective clinical and therapeutic strategies.
  • Highlights the need for collaboration between rheumatologists and dermatologists.
  • Informs management of patients with overlapping autoimmune conditions.
