Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.1K
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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.7K
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...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

2.1K
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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

3.8K
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...

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research01:21

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

3.4K
Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells are excellent models for disease research because of their ability to self-renew and differentiate into most cell types. Somatic cells from a patient are isolated and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs. These iPSCs are later differentiated into the desired cell type, which mirrors the diseased cell of the patient. In this way, disease models have been created for investigating diseases such as Down syndrome, type I diabetes,...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • General Practice
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a prevalent dermatological condition frequently encountered in primary care settings.
  • Early identification and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive guide for assessing and managing psoriasis within a general practice framework.
  • To outline diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies for primary care physicians.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical assessment protocols for psoriasis diagnosis.
  • Review of current evidence-based treatment guidelines for psoriasis.
  • Consideration of patient education and self-care strategies.

Main Results:

  • Clinical evaluation is typically sufficient for diagnosing psoriasis.
  • Initial management focuses on education, lifestyle adjustments, and basic skincare.
  • Topical corticosteroids are the primary treatment, with alternative topical therapies available.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of psoriasis is achievable through careful clinical assessment in general practice.
  • A stepwise approach to management, starting with conservative measures, is recommended.
  • Referral criteria and systemic treatment options should be considered for complex or severe cases.
