Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types01:20

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

2.9K
Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...

Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

9.2K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Heart Failure IV: Classification and Diagnostic Evaluation

510
Heart failure can be classified in various ways, with the most common classifications based on physical activity limitations, disease progression, severity, and treatment strategies.The Functional Classification of Heart Failure divides patients into four categories based on physical activity limitation due to symptom burden.Class I: Patients in this class have cardiac disease but no physical activity limitations. Ordinary activities like walking, climbing stairs, or routine tasks do not cause...

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

4.3K
A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III01:31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

1.3K
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Proliferative Phase01:20

Proliferative Phase

1.6K
The proliferative phase typically occurs after menstruation and lasts between 6 to 13 days in a standard 28-day cycle. This phase involves the reconstruction of the endometrium, guided by estrogen produced by the developing ovarian follicle.
Notably, the stratum basale, the basal layer of the endometrium, including the basal parts of the uterine glands, remains unaffected by menstruation. Stem cells in this layer undergo mitosis, regenerating the stratum functionalis and thickening the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Telogen effluvium (TE), a condition causing hair shedding, can be reclassified into three pathogenetic types: premature teloptosis, collective teloptosis, and premature telogen entry. This new classification aids in understanding TE

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathogenesis of Hair Loss

Background:

  • Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common cause of hair shedding.
  • Existing classifications of TE, such as Headington's, are complex and difficult for clinical application.
  • There is a need for a more practical and clinically relevant classification system for TE.

Approach:

  • This review proposes a novel pathogenetic classification for Telogen Effluvium.
  • Identifies three main pathogenetic types of TE based on hair shedding patterns.
  • Introduces a tentative new variety of TE for further study.

Key Points:

  • The common clinical feature across all TE types is profuse hair shedding.
  • The three proposed pathogenetic types are: premature teloptosis, collective teloptosis, and premature entry into the telogen phase.
  • These types can be associated in specific conditions like seasonal and postpartum TE.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed classification offers a simplified and clinically applicable framework for understanding TE.
  • This novel approach may improve the diagnosis and management of patients with hair shedding.
  • Further research is warranted to validate the proposed classification and new TE variety.
