Skin Diseases and Disorders

Skin Diseases and Disorders

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...

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

Photoreceptors and Visual Pathways

At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...

Summary

This study investigated eye symptoms in 90 psoriasis patients. Trachoma, squamous blepharitis, and cataracts were the most common ocular conditions found.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Dermatology
Medical Research

Background:

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
Ocular manifestations can occur in patients with psoriasis.
Understanding the prevalence of eye conditions in psoriasis patients is crucial for comprehensive care.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the incidence of various eye symptoms in patients with psoriasis.
To identify specific ocular lesions associated with psoriasis in the absence of arthropathy.

Main Methods:

A cohort of ninety psoriasis patients without arthropathy was selected.
Complete ocular examinations were performed on all participants.
Data on observed ocular lesions were systematically collected and analyzed.

Main Results:

The study identified several ocular lesions in the psoriasis cohort.
Trachoma was observed in 35.5% (32) of patients.
Squamous blepharitis occurred in 20% (18) and cataract in 7.7% (7) of patients.

Conclusions:

Psoriasis patients, even without joint involvement, exhibit a significant incidence of ocular conditions.
Trachoma, squamous blepharitis, and cataracts are prevalent eye conditions in this patient group.
Regular ophthalmological screening is recommended for psoriasis patients to detect and manage potential eye complications early.
