Skin Diseases and Disorders

6.0K
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...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.6K
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

8.1K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

4.8K
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:

Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis01:30

Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis

116
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. When IgE binds to allergens, it triggers the release of mediators– histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins from mast cells and basophils. These mediators cause vasodilation, edema, and inflammation, leading to various symptoms.The primary allergens causing anaphylaxis include food items (e.g., peanuts, shellfish), drugs (e.g., penicillin, asparaginase, corticotropin,...

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions01:30

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

100
Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

Summary

Eczema, previously known as atopic dermatitis, is classified into atopic and non-atopic subtypes. Non-atopic eczema presents with low immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and negative allergy tests, differing from the atopic form.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Allergy Research

Background:

  • Atopic dermatitis is a common clinical term, but eczema is the preferred nomenclature by the World Allergy Organization.
  • Eczema is broadly categorized into atopic and non-atopic subtypes based on distinct immunological markers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate between atopic and non-atopic eczema based on established and emerging clinical and immunological features.
  • To highlight the need for revised diagnostic criteria that incorporate the non-atopic eczema subtype.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of clinical characteristics and immunological profiles between atopic and non-atopic eczema.
  • Review of existing literature and recent studies identifying differentiating features.

Main Results:

  • Non-atopic eczema is characterized by low total serum IgE, negative skin prick tests, and absent specific IgE antibodies.
  • Atopic eczema shows a more severe course, epidermal barrier dysfunction, Th2-predominant response, and lower reactivity to metal patch tests.
  • Female predominance is noted in non-atopic eczema, distinguishing it from the atopic subtype.

Conclusions:

  • Eczema subtypes exhibit significant differences in IgE levels, allergen responses, and clinical presentation.
  • Current diagnostic criteria may not adequately address the distinct characteristics of non-atopic eczema.
  • Development of new diagnostic criteria is recommended to accurately classify eczema subtypes.
