Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

4.8K
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...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.7K
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...

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...

Desmosomes01:05

Desmosomes

6.5K
The term desmosome derives from the Greek words "desmo" and "soma" meaning "adhesion bodies." This structure was first observed during the late 1800s and described as small, dense nodules in the epidermis. Desmosomes are button-like structures that help form an interlinked network of intermediate filaments across the cells. These junctions are  essential to hold cells together under mechanical stress and to maintain tissue integrity. Desmosomes are multi-protein...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

166
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...

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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Diagnosing hand and foot skin diseases in children requires a thorough history and examination, focusing on common infections and conditions. Rare causes like genetic disorders and inflammatory dermatoses also need consideration for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Hand and foot dermatoses are common in children and adolescents, presenting frequent diagnostic challenges.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a synopsis of important differential diagnoses for pediatric hand and foot dermatoses.
  • To guide dermatological practice in identifying and treating these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Detailed patient history taking.
  • Clinical examination.
  • Exclusion of cutaneous infections.
  • Consideration of specific examination methods.

Main Results:

  • Common diagnoses include impetigo, punctate keratolysis, blistering distal dactylitis, tinea, hand-foot-mouth disease, herpes simplex, warts, and scabies.
  • Allergic contact dermatitis and dyshidrotic eczema are associated with atopic history.
  • Rare causes encompass pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) and hereditary disorders.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic approach including history, examination, and infection exclusion is vital.
  • Recognizing both common and rare etiologies ensures comprehensive patient management.
  • Molecular genetic diagnostics aid in identifying hereditary conditions.
