Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

4.2K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

The Mammary Glands

1.7K
The female breast is a hemispheric projection of variable size positioned anterior to the pectoralis major and serratus anterior muscles. A fascia layer composed of dense, irregular connective tissue connects it to these muscles.
Each breast features a pigmented projection known as the nipple, through which milk emerges via closely spaced openings of ducts, referred to as lactiferous ducts. Surrounding the nipple is a circular pigmented area of skin named the areola, which appears rough due to...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.4K
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...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.0K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Reticular telangiectatic erythema (RTE) is a benign skin condition.
  • It has been observed in patients with implanted medical devices like pacemakers.
  • The exact cause of RTE remains unclear, but physical or mechanical factors are suspected.

Observation:

  • This study presents the second documented case of bilateral RTE.
  • The observed RTE was specifically associated with breast implants.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a potential association between breast implants and RTE.
  • This contributes to the limited understanding of RTE etiology in relation to implanted materials.

Implications:

  • Further research is needed to confirm the link between RTE and breast implants.
  • Understanding this association may improve diagnosis and management for patients with similar devices.
