Desmosomes01:05

Desmosomes

6.3K
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

510
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

602
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Skin Cancer

5.1K
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...

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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

541
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Autoimmune Blistering Diseases

Background:

  • Dyshidrosiform bullous pemphigoid (DBP) is a rare variant of bullous pemphigoid.
  • It often affects elderly individuals, presenting with pruritic blisters, particularly on the palms and soles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the clinical presentation, treatment, and associated conditions of dyshidrosiform bullous pemphigoid.
  • To highlight the importance of considering DBP in elderly patients with unexplained blistering on the hands and feet.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature and case descriptions of dyshidrosiform bullous pemphigoid.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical manifestations, treatment responses, and comorbidities.

Main Results:

  • DBP typically presents with itchy blisters on palms and soles, which can be the sole manifestation.
  • Systemic corticosteroids, dapsone, or immunosuppressants are the primary treatments.
  • Neurologic and psychiatric disorders have been noted in association with DBP.

Conclusions:

  • Early diagnosis and treatment of DBP are crucial for patient improvement.
  • Clinicians should consider DBP in elderly patients presenting with recurrent or persistent palmar/plantar blisters.
  • Understanding associated conditions may aid in comprehensive patient management.
