Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.2K
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...

Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

19.2K
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility allows them to complement ordered proteins to perform functions that are inaccessible to rigid structures. They are more common in eukaryotes than prokaryotes and may either be exclusively intrinsically disordered or hybrid proteins, consisting of a mix of ordered and disordered regions. The absence of a rigid structure in these proteins can be...

Transfection, Selection, and Colony-picking of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells TALEN-targeted with a GFP Gene into the AAVS1 Safe Harbor

20.5K
TALEN-mediated gene editing at the safe harbor AAVS1 locus enables high-efficiency transgene addition in human iPSCs. This protocol describes the procedures for preparing iPSCs for TALEN and donor vector delivery, transfecting iPSCs, and selecting and isolating iPSC clones to achieve targeted integration of a GFP gene to generate reporter...

Other Disorders of Digestive System

1.4K
The gastrointestinal tract is susceptible to various disorders. If the lower esophageal sphincter is damaged, stomach acid can flow back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation of the lining. This condition is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (known as heartburn) and may cause chest pain and difficulty swallowing. In the stomach, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, chronic alcohol consumption, bacterial infections such as Helicobacter...

Disorders of Erythrocytes01:27

Disorders of Erythrocytes

2.0K
Disorders of erythrocytes, or red blood cells (RBCs), include a range of conditions affecting their number, shape, or function.
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
On the other...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Excoriation (Skin-Picking) disorder is now recognized in the DSM-5 as related to obsessive-compulsive disorder.
  • It affects 3-5% of the general population with varied demographics.
  • The disorder is classified under Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a literature review on Excoriation (Skin-Picking) disorder.
  • To present an illustrative case study.
  • To summarize current understanding and treatment options.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of epidemiological data and clinical presentations.
  • Case study analysis.
  • Review of pharmacological and psychological treatment efficacy.

Main Results:

  • Excoriation disorder presents with significant mental and physical impairment.
  • SSRIs and N-Acetyl-Cysteine show potential benefits.
  • Cognitive behavioral therapies, including specialized protocols, are effective.

Conclusions:

  • Excoriation (Skin-Picking) disorder requires multifaceted treatment approaches.
  • Both pharmacological and psychological interventions are crucial for management.
  • Further research into BFRBs and related disorders is warranted.
