Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.9K
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 Diseases and Disorders

5.4K
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...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

4.6K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Diabetic Foot Ulcer01:31

Diabetic Foot Ulcer

41
Definition A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic, non-healing wound that develops in individuals with diabetes. It typically occurs on pressure-bearing areas such as the heel, metatarsal heads, or hallux, and carries a high risk of infection and amputation.Pathophysiology • The development of DFUs can be explained by four interconnected mechanisms: neuropathy, ischemia, infection, and impaired wound healing. • Neuropathy is the most common factor. Sensory...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

950
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Staphylococcal Skin Infections01:29

Staphylococcal Skin Infections

150
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Equine Pastern Dermatitis (EPD) is a syndrome, not a single disease. Effective treatment requires identifying and addressing the underlying causes and contributing factors, not just the symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Equine Medicine

Background:

  • Equine Pastern Dermatitis (EPD) presents as a complex cutaneous reaction pattern in horses.
  • It is often misdiagnosed as a single entity rather than a syndrome with diverse etiologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of Equine Pastern Dermatitis.
  • To emphasize the importance of identifying underlying causes and predisposing factors for successful treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical signs associated with EPD.
  • Discussion of differential diagnoses for accurate identification.
  • Outline of diagnostic approaches.
  • Summary of current treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • EPD encompasses a range of clinical presentations.
  • Multiple underlying etiologies can lead to EPD.
  • Addressing predisposing and perpetuating factors is crucial for therapeutic success.

Conclusions:

  • Equine Pastern Dermatitis requires a syndromic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
  • Identifying the primary cause and managing contributing factors are essential to minimize treatment failures.
