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...

Chronic Pharyngitis

7.9K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

Epistaxis

354
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease I: Meaning and Pathophysiology01:29

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease I: Meaning and Pathophysiology

767
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) involves the recurrent backflow of the stomach or duodenal contents into the esophagus, leading to troublesome symptoms and potential esophageal mucosal damage. Although GERD is often referred to as a disease, it is more accurately described as a syndrome, as it encompasses a range of symptoms and complications rather than a singular pathological entity, impacting a large number of individuals as the most prevalent upper gastrointestinal problem. Roughly...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Cutaneous Medicine

Background:

  • Rosacea is a prevalent facial skin condition with four recognized subtypes: erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular.
  • Understanding its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and triggers is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of rosacea, including updated diagnostic criteria.
  • To discuss current and emerging treatment strategies for various rosacea manifestations.
  • To emphasize the importance of trigger avoidance in managing rosacea.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on rosacea pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • Synthesis of evidence supporting topical and oral therapies.
  • Discussion of laser and light-based treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • Topical metronidazole (0.75%), azelaic acid, and ivermectin show strong evidence for treating inflammatory rosacea.
  • Brimonidine tartrate gel, beta blockers, or vascular laser/light therapy are effective for erythema.
  • Modified-release oral doxycycline (40 mg) is an option for severe or treatment-resistant cases.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of rosacea involves accurate diagnosis, trigger avoidance, and tailored therapeutic approaches.
  • Continued research into rosacea pathogenesis may lead to novel treatments and better trigger identification.
  • A combination of therapies may be necessary for recalcitrant rosacea.
