Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

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...

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...

Introduction to the Integumentary System01:25

Introduction to the Integumentary System

12.8K
The integumentary system is the organ system that comprises the skin and its associated structures. It is the largest system in the human body and plays a crucial role in protecting and maintaining homeostasis. The integumentary system serves several functions including protection, regulation, sensation, and secretion.
The skin, which is the primary organ of the integumentary system, consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). The epidermis is the...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

5.3K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Nephrotic Syndrome II : Assessment and Medical Management

156
IntroductionNephrotic syndrome is a kidney disorder marked by excessive protein loss in the urine, leading to various systemic complications. This condition often results from damage to the glomeruli—the kidney's filtering units—causing proteinuria, low blood protein levels, and fluid retention. Understanding the assessment, diagnosis, and management of nephrotic syndrome is essential for effective treatment and prevention of further kidney damage.AssessmentPatient History: Document...

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis01:23

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis

7.3K
The skin plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin D, a vital nutrient for various physiological processes in the body. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin through a series of chemical reactions triggered by exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight.
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Immunodermatology

Background:

  • Ichthyosis and psoriasis are frequent inflammatory skin diseases in children, presenting as scaling disorders often linked to a disrupted skin barrier.
  • Ichthyosis can be a symptom of atopic dermatitis or a rare hereditary condition, while psoriasis is characterized by distinct plaques with a specific immunogenetic background.
  • Pediatric psoriasis encompasses various clinical subsets requiring specialized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of ichthyosis and psoriasis in pediatric patients.
  • To discuss the management strategies for these inflammatory skin conditions, considering both topical and systemic treatment options.
  • To highlight the importance of addressing comorbid diseases and the systemic inflammatory response in affected children.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of acute and chronic inflammatory skin diseases in childhood.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria and treatment modalities for ichthyosis and psoriasis.
  • Discussion of immunogenetic backgrounds and systemic implications of these conditions.

Main Results:

  • Both ichthyosis and psoriasis exhibit scaling and inflammation, with ichthyosis relating to barrier disruption and psoriasis to specific immunogenetics.
  • Topical treatments include emollients, corticosteroids, vitamin D derivatives, and calcineurin inhibitors.
  • Systemic therapies such as methotrexate, ciclosporin, fumarates, and biologics are indicated for moderate to severe cases.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of pediatric ichthyosis and psoriasis requires a comprehensive approach, considering topical and systemic treatments.
  • Systemic therapies should be critically evaluated and applied when necessary to prevent chronic physical and psychological sequelae.
  • Addressing comorbid conditions is essential for managing the systemic inflammatory response in children with these skin diseases.
