External Female Genitals

35.6K
The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more...

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...

Contact Angle01:13

Contact Angle

23.7K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Contact-dependent Signaling01:19

Contact-dependent Signaling

47.6K
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.
Gap Junctions
In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital01:23

Psychosexual Stages of Personality: Genital

1.9K
The genital stage is the final phase of Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, beginning at puberty, around age 12. During this stage, sexual energy shifts from self-focused interests to external individuals, marking the development of mature adult sexuality. Freud saw this phase as a time of sexual reawakening, with desires directed toward others outside the family. A healthy transition into this stage, according to Freud, signifies the emergence of two key aspects of adult...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Allergology

Background:

  • Genital allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is uncommon but significantly impacts quality of life.
  • Cultural taboos and diagnostic challenges, including irritant contact dermatitis, delay proper management.
  • ACD can manifest acutely with erosions or chronically with lichenification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common allergens causing genital ACD in men and women.
  • To discuss essential patch testing protocols for diagnosis.
  • To recommend safe product choices for affected individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of common genital ACD allergens.
  • Discussion of diagnostic patch testing panels.
  • Compilation of product recommendations for ACD patients.

Main Results:

  • Topical medications (anesthetics, corticosteroids), fragrances, preservatives, dyes, and rubber products are frequent allergens.
  • Herbs, spices, and vehicle components are less common triggers.
  • Patch testing is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient relief.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of genital ACD through patch testing is vital.
  • Identifying and avoiding specific allergens leads to symptom improvement.
  • Guidance on safe product use is essential for managing this condition.
