Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

951
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

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...

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

3.6K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.8K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

72
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Dermatology
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Vesiculobullous disorders encompass a range of conditions characterized by blister formation.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and etiology of these disorders in children is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the frequency and clinical characteristics of vesiculobullous disorders in pediatric patients.
  • To identify the most common causes of these conditions in children.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective chart review was conducted over a 36-month period (January 2011-December 2013).
  • The study included all children aged 18 years and below diagnosed with vesiculobullous disorders.

Main Results:

  • A total of 213 children with vesiculobullous lesions were analyzed.
  • These disorders represented 3.6% of all dermatoses seen in the study period.
  • The most frequent causes were infections (60.6%), followed by genodermatoses (16.4%), and inflammatory disorders (15.5%).

Conclusions:

  • Vesiculobullous disorders present a diverse spectrum in the pediatric population.
  • Cutaneous infections and inherited disorders are the predominant causes in children.
