Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

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...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

3.5K
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...

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research01:21

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

3.5K
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,...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

71
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...

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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Inverse psoriasis causes chronic skin inflammation in folds, often with infections. Treatments effective for general psoriasis can be used off-label, improving quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Inverse psoriasis presents as chronic inflammatory lesions in skin folds.
  • Secondary infections with Candida or bacteria are common in inverse psoriasis.
  • Reduced quality of life, particularly sexual function, is a significant issue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation and management of inverse psoriasis.
  • To highlight the need for tailored therapy based on clinical outcomes and comorbidities.
  • To discuss treatment options, including off-label use of psoriasis vulgaris therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical studies and therapeutic guidelines for inverse psoriasis.
  • Analysis of treatment efficacy and safety data.
  • Discussion of differential diagnoses and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Substances effective for psoriasis vulgaris are generally effective for inverse psoriasis but often require off-label use.
  • Topical ascomycin is one of the few agents with controlled clinical study data for inverse psoriasis.
  • Therapeutic approaches must consider comorbidities and clinical response.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of inverse psoriasis requires careful diagnosis and individualized treatment plans.
  • Off-label use of established psoriasis treatments is often necessary.
  • Further controlled studies are needed to optimize therapeutic strategies for inverse psoriasis.
