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...

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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

6.4K
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...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

6.5K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Pigmentation01:19

Pigmentation

4.8K
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

662
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Clinical case study

    Background:

    • Erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP) is a rare dermatosis characterized by progressive, gray-blue macules.
    • The etiology of EDP remains largely unknown, with various triggers proposed.
    • This case highlights a presentation of EDP in an adult female.

    Observation:

    • A 32-year-old female patient presented with a distinct skin condition.
    • The lesions, identified as erythema dyschromicum perstans, were primarily situated on the extremities.
    • The observed lesions were stationary, indicating a lack of progression or change in morphology over time.

    Findings:

    • The patient's erythema dyschromicum perstans exhibited a predilection for the extremities.
    • The lesions were noted to be stationary, a key characteristic in the clinical description.
    • Despite various therapeutic interventions, the response to treatment was deemed unsatisfactory.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the variable clinical presentation and treatment challenges associated with erythema dyschromicum perstans.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and effective treatment modalities for EDP is warranted.
    • Understanding the natural history and response to therapy in individual cases of EDP is crucial for patient management.
