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...

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition with varying clinical presentations.
    • Understanding the epidemiological and biochemical profiles of psoriasis patients is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the demographic characteristics of psoriasis patients.
    • To investigate the prevalence of specific clinical manifestations and biochemical abnormalities in psoriasis.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study of 132 psoriasis cases at Medical College Hospital, Rohtak.
    • Data collection included patient demographics, clinical lesion sites, family history, and biochemical parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Psoriasis accounted for 0.8% of hospital patients, with 122 cases aged 11-40 years.
    • A male to female ratio of 4:1 was observed. Facial lesions occurred in 12 patients, and mucous membrane involvement in 7.
    • Biochemical findings included hypercalcemia (10%), hypocalcemia (15%), elevated serum magnesium (40%), and elevated serum uric acid (26.6%).

    Conclusions:

    • Psoriasis predominantly affects young adults, with a higher incidence in males.
    • Biochemical abnormalities such as hypermagnesemia and hyperuricemia are common in psoriasis patients, warranting further investigation.
