Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.5K
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.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

742
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

5.0K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

1.5K
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

4.0K
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.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatrics
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory skin condition with limited recent data on pediatric cases.
  • Epidemiology, comorbidities, and therapeutic strategies for childhood psoriasis require further investigation.
  • Psoriasis affects up to 2% of children in Europe, appearing even in infancy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current understanding of pediatric psoriasis, including epidemiology, clinical presentation, comorbidities, and treatment.
  • To highlight the specific characteristics of psoriasis in children compared to adults.
  • To emphasize the impact of psoriasis on children's social interactions and the need for management guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on pediatric psoriasis.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data, clinical features, and associated comorbidities.
  • Evaluation of current and potential therapeutic interventions.

Main Results:

  • Childhood psoriasis shares similarities with adult forms but has distinct features like neonatal diaper rash, facial involvement, and guttate psoriasis.
  • Metabolic comorbidities, particularly obesity, are increasingly linked to pediatric psoriasis.
  • Psoriasis significantly impacts children's social interactions, necessitating effective management strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric psoriasis has unique clinical manifestations and is associated with metabolic comorbidities.
  • Topical treatments are primary for limited disease; phototherapy and systemic biologics are options for severe cases.
  • Developing international guidelines is crucial for optimal management of children with psoriasis.
