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...

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

4.7K
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:

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

3.0K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

2.0K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management01:20

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.5K
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

8.0K
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition.
    • Atopy, characterized by a predisposition to allergic diseases like asthma and eczema, is common.
    • The relationship between psoriasis and atopy requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine if there is an association between psoriasis and atopy.
    • To compare the prevalence of atopy in psoriasis patients versus a general patient population.

    Main Methods:

    • A case-control study design was employed.
    • 356 psoriasis patients and 1000 patients with other diseases were recruited.
    • A detailed history of atopy in patients and their relatives was collected and analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • The study found a negative association between psoriasis and personal history of atopy.
    • No significant correlation was observed between psoriasis and a family history of atopy.

    Conclusions:

    • Psoriasis is unlikely to be associated with atopy.
    • Further research may explore underlying mechanisms differentiating these conditions.
