Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.1K
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...

Asthma-III: Symptoms and Complications

3.2K
Asthma, a common chronic respiratory condition, is classified considering the frequency and severity of symptoms alongside lung function impairment. Understanding this classification is essential for appropriate treatment and management. Here's a detailed look at the classification of asthma and its clinical features and complications:

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

3.7K
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...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

1.1K
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) was historically viewed as a childhood condition with adult remission.
  • Recent research highlights AD's significant prevalence and impact in adult populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of adult atopic dermatitis.
  • To examine its pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, burden, diagnosis, and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on adult atopic dermatitis.
  • Synthesis of information on genetic, immunologic, and epidemiologic factors.

Main Results:

  • Adult AD is common and associated with significant disability, affecting sleep, mental health, and quality of life.
  • Adult AD may differ from childhood AD in genetic, immunologic, and epidemiologic risk factors.

Conclusions:

  • Adult atopic dermatitis is a distinct clinical entity requiring specific consideration.
  • Further research into adult AD pathophysiology and management is warranted.
