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...

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...

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...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

2.6K
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.1K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

    Summary

    Scalp skin

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Trichology

    Background:

    • Scalp skin's unique properties include high hair follicle density and sebum production, creating a favorable environment for infections and inflammatory conditions.
    • Scalp health significantly impacts mental well-being and social interaction.
    • Therapeutic challenges arise from scalp visibility and hair presence, limiting treatment options due to application difficulties and cosmetic concerns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of common scalp disorders.
    • To outline diagnostic approaches for scalp conditions.
    • To recommend effective treatment strategies for scalp disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of common scalp disorders.
    • Analysis of diagnostic criteria for scalp conditions.
