Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives01:14

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

2.4K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.4K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Effects of Chemicals: Overview01:27

Effects of Chemicals: Overview

2.4K
Drugs, encompassing various chemical compounds from natural sources, lab synthesis, or genetic engineering, elicit different biological responses in living organisms. Some of these responses are desirable or therapeutic, while others are undesirable. The primary goal of administering a drug is to achieve a therapeutic effect, that is, to address a specific disease or health condition. Any concurrent effects outside of this therapeutic outcome are considered undesirable. These undesirable...

Thermal and Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Overview01:26

Thermal and Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Overview

2.2K
Electrocyclic reactions are reversible reactions. They involve an intramolecular cyclization or ring-opening of a conjugated polyene. Shown below are two examples of electrocyclic reactions. In the first reaction, the formation of the cyclic product is favored. In contrast, in the second reaction, ring-opening is favored due to the high ring strain associated with cyclobutene formation.

Extraction: Effects of pH00:53

Extraction: Effects of pH

1.4K
Consider a neutral form of an amine, B, with a partition coefficient, K, in a liquid mixture containing organic and aqueous phases. The pH of the aqueous phase affects the charge on acidic and basic solutes, and the charged form is usually more soluble in the aqueous phase. Suppose the conjugate acid form of the amine is soluble only in the aqueous phase while the base form is soluble in both phases. Then the distribution coefficient, D, can be given as the ratio of amine concentration in the...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Chemical peels, particularly croton oil-phenol formulations, are established treatments for rhytids.
  • Debates persist regarding their optimal application, safety profile, and efficacy across different patient demographics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the assertion that croton oil-phenol peels are the superior method for moderate to deep rhytids.
  • To address concerns regarding potential cardiotoxicity associated with these peels.
  • To discuss best practices for chemical peeling in advanced Fitzpatrick skin types (III-V).
  • To identify the primary determinant of reepithelialization rate among peeling, laser, and dermabrasion.
  • To explore the evolution of chemical peel techniques over time.

Main Methods:

  • Expert discussion and debate on established and evolving chemical peel protocols.
  • Review of clinical experience and literature concerning croton oil-phenol peels.
  • Comparative analysis of resurfacing modalities (chemical peel, laser, dermabrasion).

Main Results:

  • The discussion highlights areas of consensus and disagreement regarding the efficacy and safety of croton oil-phenol peels.
  • Expert opinions vary on the necessity of spot testing and the management of peels in darker skin types.
  • The depth of peel is identified as the primary factor influencing reepithelialization rate.

Conclusions:

  • The optimal approach to chemical peeling requires careful consideration of patient factors, peel depth, and potential risks.
  • Ongoing evolution in technique and understanding is crucial for safe and effective treatment of rhytids.
  • Further discussion and evidence are needed to refine guidelines for advanced Fitzpatrick skin types.
