Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.9K
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...

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance01:20

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance

539
Frustration occurs when people are obstructed or prevented from achieving a desired goal or fulfilling a perceived need. For example, when someone's input is ignored in a discussion, it can lead to feelings of frustration. Conflict, however, arises from opposing interests, goals, or actions. Conflicts can take various forms based on the nature of these opposing desires or goals.
One common type of conflict is the Approach–Approach Conflict. In this case, a person faces two desirable...

Sensory Functions of the Skin01:16

Sensory Functions of the Skin

8.2K
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays a crucial role in our sensory perception. It contains a vast network of sensory receptors that contribute to the skin's protective function by perceiving physical, biological, and environmental cues and generating relevant responses.
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.4K
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...

Infection01:20

Infection

12.7K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Actuarial Approach01:20

Actuarial Approach

312
The actuarial approach, a statistical method originally developed for life insurance risk assessment, is widely used to calculate survival rates in clinical and population studies. This method accounts for participants lost to follow-up or those who die from causes unrelated to the study, ensuring a more accurate representation of survival probabilities.
Consider the example of a high-risk surgical procedure with significant early-stage mortality. A two-year clinical study is conducted,...

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Dermatology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Aquatic infections present diagnostic and treatment challenges for physicians.
  • Polymicrobial nature and uncommon organisms complicate aquatic skin infection management.
  • Staphylococcus and Streptococcus are common, but Vibrio, Aeromonas, and Mycobacterium are significant pathogens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathophysiology, presentation, and management of common water-borne pathogens causing skin and soft tissue infections.
  • To provide primary care physicians with information for diagnosing and treating aquatic infections.
  • To highlight the importance of early detection and appropriate management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of aquatic-borne pathogens causing skin and soft tissue infections.
  • Analysis of pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment strategies.
  • Synthesis of information on common and uncommon water-borne infectious agents.

Main Results:

  • Common etiologic agents include Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species.
  • Significant pathogens also include Vibrio, Aeromonas, Edwardsiella, Erysipelothrix, and Mycobacterium species.
  • Early detection and management are key to reducing morbidity and mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Aquatic skin infections require careful consideration of polymicrobial etiology and potential uncommon pathogens.
  • Effective management relies on accurate diagnosis and timely treatment.
  • Understanding water-borne pathogens is essential for primary care physicians treating these infections.
