Connective Tissue Cell Types01:22

Connective Tissue Cell Types

4.5K
Connective tissue develops from the mesoderm of a developing embryo and consists of cells, fibers, and ground substance: a gel-like material containing large complexes of carbohydrates and proteins. Connective tissue was first identified as a separate tissue family in the 18th century, and Johannes Peter Muller coined the term connective tissue.
Fat cells (adipocytes), smooth muscle cells (myoblasts), and bone cells (osteoblasts) are some connective tissue cell types. Some immune system cells...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.3K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction

980
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

698
Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

893
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Nails01:05

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Nails

4.2K
Nails are one of the important accessory structures of the skin. They are hard, protective structures that cover the dorsal surface of the distal phalanges of fingers and toes. Nails are composed of specialized keratinized cells and serve various functions, including protection, sensation, and manual dexterity.
The main components of a nail include the following.
Nail Plate: The nail plate is the visible portion of the nail that extends beyond the fingertips or toes. It is a hard, translucent...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Retronychia is proximal nail ingrowth often mistaken for paronychia. Diagnosis requires specific nail fold inflammation and growth interruption, with nail avulsion being the curative treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Nail Disorders

Background:

  • Retronychia is proximal nail ingrowth into the proximal nail fold.
  • Often presents as persistent paronychia, especially after trauma.
  • Frequently misdiagnosed and treated inappropriately with antibiotics/antifungals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical criteria for diagnosing retronychia.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and misinterpretations.
  • To present findings from diagnosed cases of retronychia.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical criteria for retronychia.
  • Analysis of 20 diagnosed cases between 2010-2013.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Key diagnostic signs include proximal nail fold inflammation, granulation tissue, nail thickening, and growth interruption.
  • Retronychia is rarely diagnosed correctly.
  • Nail avulsion is confirmed as curative treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Retronychia diagnosis requires specific clinical signs.
  • Misdiagnosis leads to ineffective treatments.
  • Nail avulsion is the definitive treatment; conservative methods may work in early stages.
