Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.3K
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...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

7.0K
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 Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.7K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

5.6K
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...

Introduction to the Integumentary System01:25

Introduction to the Integumentary System

16.6K
The integumentary system is the organ system that comprises the skin and its associated structures. It is the largest system in the human body and plays a crucial role in protecting and maintaining homeostasis. The integumentary system serves several functions including protection, regulation, sensation, and secretion.
The skin, which is the primary organ of the integumentary system, consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). The epidermis is the...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

4.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Social Media Analysis
  • Digital Health Communication

Background:

  • Pinterest is a popular social media platform for idea sharing.
  • Limited research exists on dermatology content on Pinterest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the presence and nature of dermatology-related content on Pinterest.
  • To assess the involvement of medical professionals and organizations in dermatology discussions on the platform.

Main Methods:

  • Searched Pinterest for five dermatology terms in 'pins' and 'boards'.
  • Categorized content as 'advocacy,' 'informative,' or 'home remedies.'
  • Assessed board creators (MDs, professional societies) and journal presence.

Main Results:

  • Informative content dominated both pins (49%) and boards (53%).
  • Only 24% of boards were created by MDs or advocacy groups.
  • Top dermatology journals had minimal presence, with only one board from JAMA Dermatology.

Conclusions:

  • Dermatology organizations are underrepresented on Pinterest.
  • Pinterest offers a potential channel for targeted health interventions for skin diseases.
  • Increased engagement from medical professionals is needed to enhance content reliability.
