Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.1K
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...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

2.1K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Infection01:20

Infection

13.9K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Introduction to Connective Tissues

19.9K
Connective tissues are one of the four main tissue types in humans that are extensively present in the body. They are characterized by cells embedded in an extracellular matrix (ECM) composed of a ground substance and three main types of protein fibers— collagen, elastic, and reticular fibers. The ground substance of connective tissues can range from a watery and jelly-like consistency to mineralized and hard. The wide variety of cells in the connective tissues include fibroblasts,...

Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype

5.8K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. The condition affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact their health and quality of life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Types of Fever01:25

Types of Fever

1.4K
Fever can be triggered by several factors, including infections, nervous system disorders, certain cancers, blood diseases like leukemia, embolism, thrombosis, heatstroke, dehydration, surgical trauma, crushing injuries, and allergic reactions.
Here are the different types of fever:

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Science
    • Epidemiology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Understanding disease is fundamental to medical practice and public health.
    • Existing frameworks for disease classification are diverse and often context-dependent.

    Purpose:

    • To define disease and delineate its various types.
    • To establish clear criteria for disease classification based on multiple viewpoints.
    • To critically examine the concept of non-existent diseases.

    Summary:

    • The conference will define disease, categorizing it by etiology, teleology, social impact, distribution, mechanisms, risk factors, and organ involvement.
    • A dedicated section will explore diseases that do not exist, challenging conventional definitions.

    Impact:

    • Provides a unified framework for understanding and classifying diseases.
    • Enhances diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic strategies.
    • Contributes to the philosophical and scientific discourse on disease definition.
