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...

Hypersensitivities

7.9K
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...

Allergic Reactions: Anaphylaxis

76
Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening hypersensitivity reaction mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. When IgE binds to allergens, it triggers the release of mediators– histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins from mast cells and basophils. These mediators cause vasodilation, edema, and inflammation, leading to various symptoms.The primary allergens causing anaphylaxis include food items (e.g., peanuts, shellfish), drugs (e.g., penicillin, asparaginase, corticotropin,...

Allergic Drug Reactions01:27

Allergic Drug Reactions

1.5K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

4.8K
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...

Summary

Central Compartment Atopic Disease (CCAD) is a distinct form of chronic rhinosinusitis linked to inhalant allergies. This condition affects central nasal structures and requires targeted allergy management for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Allergy Immunology

Background:

  • Isolated middle turbinate polypoid changes are linked to inhalant allergies.
  • A more advanced form involves polypoid changes in the central sinonasal compartment.
  • This contrasts with typical sinus inflammation, showing normal lateral sinus mucosa.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce and describe central compartment atopic disease (CCAD).
  • Define CCAD as a newly recognized variant of chronic rhinosinusitis.
  • Highlight its unique presentation and association with allergies.

Main Methods:

  • Case series of 15 patients with sinonasal symptoms and central compartment polypoid changes.
  • Computed tomography (CT) used to assess mucosal changes.
  • Endoscopic evaluation and allergy testing (skin or serum) performed.

Main Results:

  • All 15 patients had symptomatic allergic rhinitis and positive allergy tests.
  • Endoscopy revealed central compartment polypoid edema.
  • CT scans showed central nasal soft-tissue thickening with peripheral clearing.

Conclusions:

  • CCAD is likely a localized inhalant allergy affecting central nasal structures of ethmoid origin.
  • It represents a distinct CRS pattern, differing from diffuse sinonasal inflammation.
  • Allergy management is a crucial component for treating CCAD.
