Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.9K
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...

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...

Drug Toxicity: Allergic Reactions

64
Drug-related allergies are immune-mediated responses triggered by the administration of pharmacological agents. These hypersensitivity reactions are classified based on the immune mechanisms involved. The four primary types—Type I, II, III, and IV—are mediated by different immunological pathways and exhibit distinct clinical manifestations.Type I Hypersensitivity/ IgE-Mediated Reactions: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) immediately mediates Type I hypersensitivity reactions. Upon initial...

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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

4.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Occupational dermatoses represent a significant global health burden, with a high prevalence in Asia's large unorganized workforce.
  • Understanding the specific patterns and etiological agents of work-related skin conditions is crucial for targeted prevention and management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the frequency, patterns, and implicated allergens of occupational skin diseases across various Asian countries.
  • To identify similarities and unique variations in occupational dermatoses between Asian and Western countries.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted using keywords such as 'occupational dermatoses,' 'occupational skin disease,' and country names within Asia.
  • Ninety-five full-text articles were identified, evaluated, and synthesized for relevant data on disease patterns and causative agents.

Main Results:

  • Common occupational dermatoses in Asian industrial workers, such as those caused by chromates, epoxy resin, wood dust, azo dyes, and formaldehyde, mirror those found in Western countries.
  • Unique dermatoses were identified in specific Asian occupations, including agriculture, beedi and agarbatti manufacturing, fish processing, carpet weaving, sanitation, coffee plantations, and coal mines.

Conclusions:

  • Recognizing the distinct clinical patterns and geographic variations of occupational skin diseases in Asia is essential for advancing research.
  • Improved understanding will facilitate the development of more effective diagnostic and management strategies tailored to the Asian context.
