Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.8K
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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

2.1K
Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Drug Metabolism

89
In pediatric care, understanding the nuances of hepatic drug metabolism is crucial, as it significantly differs from that of adults. This divergence is primarily due to the developmental stage of drug-metabolizing enzymes, which affects how medications are processed in the body. In neonates, for instance, the activity of Phase I enzymes—critical for the initial breakdown of drugs—is markedly reduced, functioning at just 20–40% of the levels seen in adults. This reduction poses...

Nightmares and Night Terrors01:18

Nightmares and Night Terrors

271
Nightmares and night terrors represent two distinct types of sleep disturbances that differ in timing, characteristics, and the sleeper's recall of the event. Nightmares are vivid, disturbing dreams that usually awaken the sleeper from REM sleep, a stage of sleep where brain activity is high, and dreams are most frequent. Upon awakening, individuals often have detailed recollections of their nightmares, which can include themes of threats to survival, security, or self-esteem.

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

827
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Tinea capitis (TC) is a prevalent dermatophyte infection in children.
  • Global migration patterns have altered TC epidemiology.
  • Environmental and host factors contribute to TC development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of the clinical and therapeutic management of Tinea capitis in pediatric patients.
  • To highlight diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for pediatric TC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on recent epidemiological, clinical, and therapeutic advancements in pediatric Tinea capitis.
  • Analysis of diagnostic methods including dermoscopy and Wood's lamp examination.
  • Evaluation of current antifungal treatment guidelines for children.

Main Results:

  • Clinical presentations of TC vary based on the causative fungal species.
  • Mycological tests are essential for confirming diagnosis.
  • Systemic antifungal therapy, alongside local measures, is the cornerstone of effective TC treatment in children.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate identification of the causal agent is crucial for guiding appropriate and safe antifungal treatment in pediatric TC.
  • An updated understanding of TC epidemiology and management is vital for healthcare providers.
  • Integrated therapeutic approaches ensure effective control of Tinea capitis in the pediatric population.
