The Effect of Aging on Tissues01:19

The Effect of Aging on Tissues

3.6K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...

Cirrhosis I: Introduction

28
Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...

Staphylococcal Skin Infections

143
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...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

861
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Replicative Cell Senescence

3.5K
Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is an uncommon, inflammatory ulcerative skin disease.
  • PG commonly presents on the lower extremities and trunk, rarely affecting the face.

Observation:

  • Two elderly patients, aged 89 and 90, presented with facial ulcers.
  • The ulcers exhibited characteristics consistent with pyoderma gangrenosum.

Findings:

  • This case series documents the rare occurrence of facial pyoderma gangrenosum in elderly individuals.
  • The findings underscore the importance of considering PG in the differential diagnosis of facial ulcers, irrespective of typical site predilection.

Implications:

  • Facial PG presentation necessitates a high index of suspicion for accurate diagnosis and timely management.
  • Understanding atypical presentations of PG can improve patient outcomes and diagnostic accuracy in clinical practice.
