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...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

282
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Acute Coronary Syndrome II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

301
The pathophysiology of Acute Coronary Syndrome [ACD] involves several key processes:The main underlying cause of ACD is atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the buildup of lipid-laden plaques within the coronary arteries.As the atherosclerotic plaque grows in the coronary artery, it may become unstable due to the formation of a lipid-rich core and a thin fibrous cap. Inflammatory cells within the plaque, such as macrophages, secrete enzymes that degrade the...

Necrosis01:16

Necrosis

6.1K
Necrosis is considered as an “accidental” or unexpected form of cell death that ends in cell lysis. The first noticeable mention of “necrosis” was in 1859 when Rudolf Virchow used this term to describe advanced tissue breakdown in his compilation titled “Cell Pathology”.
Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.2K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

404
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Summary

Ingrown toenails (onychocryptosis) are common and painful, especially in young people. Phenol cauterization is the most effective surgical treatment for advanced cases.

Area of Science:

  • Podiatry
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Onychocryptosis (ingrown toenail) is a prevalent and painful condition.
  • It frequently affects younger populations.
  • Etiopathogenesis and treatment options remain subjects of debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etiopathogenesis of ingrown toenails.
  • To discuss the clinical features of ingrown toenails.
  • To outline various treatment modalities for ingrown toenails.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles and clinical studies.
  • Analysis of conservative and surgical treatment approaches.
  • Evaluation of treatment efficacy based on disease stage.

Main Results:

  • Conservative treatments are effective for early-stage ingrown toenails.
  • Surgical interventions are necessary for advanced stages.
  • Phenol cauterization of the lateral nail matrix is the most effective and frequently performed surgical method.

Conclusions:

  • Ingrown toenail management should be tailored to the disease stage.
  • Phenol cauterization offers a safe and effective surgical solution.
  • Less destructive surgical procedures are preferred over older, more aggressive techniques.
