- Materials Science
Background:
- Copper possesses significant biocidal properties and plays a vital role in human physiological processes.
- In skin, copper is essential for extracellular matrix protein synthesis, stabilization, and angiogenesis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review clinical studies on the efficacy of textile products embedded with copper oxide particles for improving skin well-being.
Main Methods:
- Review of clinical studies investigating the effects of copper oxide embedded consumer and medical textile products.
- Analysis of studies focusing on athlete's foot treatment, skin elasticity, wrinkle reduction, and wound healing.
Main Results:
- Copper oxide embedded socks demonstrated efficacy in curing athlete's foot infections and improving skin elasticity, particularly for individuals with diabetes.
- Copper oxide embedded pillowcases showed a reduction in facial fine lines and wrinkles.
- Copper oxide embedded wound dressings enhanced wound healing processes.
Conclusions:
- Textile products incorporating microscopic copper oxide particles offer tangible benefits for skin health and well-being.
- The reviewed studies support the therapeutic and cosmetic applications of copper-infused textiles.

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.

01:23Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
8.8K
The skin plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D, a vital nutrient for various physiological processes in the body. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin through a series of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight.
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin...

01:30Skin 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.

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...

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...

01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
4.1K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
