Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

2.8K
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.5K
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...

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

3.4K
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

5.0K
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...

Drug Classes and Categories01:25

Drug Classes and Categories

2.5K
Drugs can be classified according to their chemical composition or their intended therapeutic application. For instance, anti-infective agents that possess the ability to eliminate pathogens or suppress their growth and reproduction can be grouped based on the organisms they target or their chemical structure. Furthermore, drugs can be divided into prescription, nonprescription, or controlled substances. Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, require oversight from a licensed healthcare...

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview01:22

Classification of Epithelial Tissues: Overview

18.0K
Epithelial tissues are classified according to the shape of the cells and the number of cell layers formed. Cell shapes can be squamous (flattened and thin), cuboidal (square-like, as wide as it is tall), or columnar (rectangular, taller than it is wide). Additionally, the nucleus shape helps identify the type of epithelial cells. Squamous cells have flattened disc-shaped nuclei, cuboidal cells have spherical nuclei, and columnar cells have elongated nuclei.
Based on the number of cell layers,...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Contact dermatitis (CD) is a prevalent inflammatory skin disease.
  • It is a leading cause of occupational and hand/facial dermatitis.
  • CD presents in various forms, including allergic, irritant, immediate, photoinduced, systemic, and non-eczematous subtypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of contact dermatitis.

  • Review of existing literature on contact dermatitis.
  • Discussion of diagnostic tools such as medical history, patch testing, photopatch testing, and other specific tests.
  • Outline of management principles including allergen avoidance and therapeutic interventions.

Main Results:

  • CD can mimic other skin conditions, necessitating thorough diagnosis.
  • A combination of diagnostic tests aids in identifying causative agents.
  • Effective management involves allergen avoidance, skin barrier restoration, and anti-inflammatory treatments.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate diagnosis of CD is crucial due to its varied presentations.
  • Comprehensive diagnostic workup and prompt, appropriate treatment are essential for successful management.
  • Complete avoidance of identified irritants or allergens is the cornerstone of CD treatment.
