Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

366
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

704
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

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-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

4.0K
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:

The key clinical manifestations of Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) include several distinct cardiac symptoms.Carditis, a hallmark of acute rheumatic fever, involves inflammation of the heart's endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium. Chronic RHD often results from recurrent episodes of carditis. Its symptoms include the following:Murmurs are caused by valvular damage, especially to the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis or regurgitation is common, with characteristic heart murmurs...

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
  • Systemic Diseases

Background:

  • Rosacea is a prevalent, chronic inflammatory facial disease with a worldwide incidence.
  • Its pathogenesis involves complex neurovascular and immunologic mechanisms.
  • The condition is characterized by relapses and an increasing incidence with age.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of rosacea's pathogenesis and triggers.
  • To highlight the association of rosacea with various systemic diseases.
  • To emphasize rosacea's classification as a systemic disease.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of rosacea pathogenesis, triggers, and systemic associations.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data regarding incidence and age-related trends.
  • Synthesis of information on extrafacial and extracutaneous manifestations.

Main Results:

  • Neurovascular and immunologic factors are implicated in rosacea pathogenesis.
  • Known triggers include sun exposure, heat, cold, alcohol, and spicy foods.
  • Significant associations exist with obesity, H. pylori infection, smoking, IBD, metabolic, psychiatric, neurologic disorders, and certain cancers.

Conclusions:

  • Rosacea is more than a facial condition; it is a systemic disease.
  • Associated systemic conditions can significantly impact morbidity and mortality.
  • Recognizing rosacea as systemic is crucial for comprehensive patient management.
