Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

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...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

2.4K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

3.2K
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...

Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction

20
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults.EpidemiologyMS commonly begins between 20 and 40 years of age and is twice as common in women. Its exact cause remains unclear, but genetic susceptibility contributes, with higher risk in first-degree relatives and identical twins. A greater...

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research01:21

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

3.2K
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,...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Diabetes and Cancer

531
Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Cardiology
  • Metabolic Medicine

Background:

  • Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease with systemic effects.
  • The link between psoriasis and comorbidities like cardiovascular and metabolic diseases is debated.
  • Chronic inflammation in psoriasis may contribute to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential causative role of psoriasis in cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities.
  • To highlight the pathophysiological mechanisms connecting psoriasis inflammation to metabolic syndrome components.
  • To emphasize the need for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to psoriasis management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pathophysiological concepts linking chronic inflammation to disease development.
  • Analysis of the relationship between psoriasis, endothelial dysfunction, and atherosclerosis.
  • Examination of the components of metabolic syndrome in the context of psoriasis.

Main Results:

  • Chronic inflammation in psoriasis is hypothesized to drive endothelial dysfunction.
  • This inflammation may lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
  • Psoriasis is associated with various components of metabolic syndrome.

Conclusions:

  • Psoriasis management requires a multidisciplinary approach.
  • Identifying and treating psychological disorders, addictions, and comorbidities is essential.
  • Improving patients' quality of life is a key treatment goal.
