COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features01:20

COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a group of lung conditions that progressively worsen over time, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. This cluster of diseases collectively leads to a gradual and irreversible decline in lung function over time.
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...

Rheumatic Heart Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...
Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness, disability,...
Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin create...
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...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-III: Symptoms and Complications.

Understanding the variety of primary symptoms and systemic complications that characterize chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial for healthcare professionals.
Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

Summary

Psoriasis is linked to higher risks of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Further research is needed to explore connections with heart disease, stroke, cancer, and lifestyle factors in psoriasis patients.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Psoriasis is increasingly recognized as a systemic disease with associated comorbidities.
  • Understanding these comorbidities is crucial for comprehensive patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate comorbidities associated with psoriasis.
  • Stratify findings by patient age and sex.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case-control study.
  • Involved 447 psoriasis patients and 447 matched controls.
  • Conditional logistic regression analyzed comorbidity risks.

Main Results:

  • Psoriatic patients showed increased odds of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity.
  • Male patients over 51 with psoriasis had higher odds of ischemic and hypertensive heart disease (IHHD).
  • Psoriasis was negatively associated with cancer and occasional alcohol habits.

Conclusions:

  • Psoriasis is strongly linked to hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obesity.
  • Further investigation is warranted for associations with IHHD, stroke, cancers, and alcohol habits.
