Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.0K
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...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids

321
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.6K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

COPD: Management Using Bronchodilators and Corticosteroids

609
Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

Antiasthma Drugs: Inhaled Corticosteroids and Glucocorticoids

1.3K
Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are anti-inflammatory drugs used primarily in treating persistent asthma and providing long-term maintenance. They target the bronchial mucosa, the lining of the airways, to control inflammation, a critical factor in asthma progression and exacerbation.
ICS work through a multifaceted mechanism of action. They suppress the inflammatory response caused by the proliferation of TH cells. They also reduce the transcription of the IL-2 gene, which is involved in the...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Immunomodulatory Agents

359
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Toxicology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Bromoderma is a rare hypersensitivity reaction linked to bromide consumption.
  • Historically common due to widespread pediatric use of bromide solutions for various ailments.
  • Bromides persist in some medications despite prohibitions, posing ongoing risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a severe case of vegetating bromoderma.
  • To illustrate diagnostic challenges posed by bromoderma.
  • To present an effective treatment strategy for bromoderma.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case description of a patient with severe bromoderma.
  • Diagnostic evaluation including patient history of medication use.
  • Treatment involved cessation of bromide-containing medication and systemic corticosteroid therapy.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with severe vegetating bromoderma, a challenging dermatological condition.
  • Withdrawal of bromide-containing medication was initiated.
  • Treatment with systemic steroids led to an excellent clinical response.

Conclusions:

  • Bromoderma requires vigilant dermatological diagnosis, especially with persistent bromide use.
  • Discontinuation of the offending bromide agent is crucial for treatment.
  • Systemic corticosteroids can be highly effective in managing severe bromoderma cases.
