Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.4K
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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.6K
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...

Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems01:18

Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems

183
Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) enable the controlled release of drugs across the skin into systemic circulation. They are particularly advantageous for drugs with short half-lives or narrow therapeutic indices, as they maintain consistent plasma concentrations and reduce the risk of subtherapeutic or toxic levels.TDDS are categorized into monolithic, reservoir, and mixed systems. Monolithic systems embed the drug in a polymer matrix, where diffusion governs release. Reservoir systems...

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...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.5K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mobile Health Technology
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Mobile devices are increasingly used for accessing healthcare resources, surpassing personal computer usage.
  • Medical applications offer convenient access to a wide array of health information and services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To track and analyze the evolution of dermatology-specific mobile applications since 2012.
  • To identify trends in the development and market share of these applications.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of dermatology-related diagnostic applications across five major mobile platforms (Apple, Android, Windows, Nokia, Blackberry).
  • Categorization of applications based on their primary function, cost, and intended user demographic.

Main Results:

  • A total of 365 dermatology mobile applications were analyzed, with 225 new apps identified since 2012.
  • A notable decrease in the market share of reference (26.6% to 15.9%) and self-surveillance/diagnosis apps (17.9% to 12.9%) between 2012 and 2014.
  • A significant increase in teledermatology applications, rising from 3.5% to 9% of the total market share during the same period.

Conclusions:

  • Dermatology mobile applications are proliferating rapidly, often with limited regulatory oversight.
  • Advancements in mobile health technology and physician access to information may foster innovative diagnostic tools.
  • These technological shifts hold the potential to enable more flexible and accessible patient care models.
