Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

4.9K
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Sensory Functions of the Skin01:16

Sensory Functions of the Skin

6.3K
The skin is the largest organ of the human body and plays a crucial role in our sensory perception. It contains a vast network of sensory receptors that contribute to the skin's protective function by perceiving physical, biological, and environmental cues and generating relevant responses.
There are two main categories of receptors on the skin: capsulated and non-capsulated. The non-capsulated ones are mainly the pain receptors. The capsulated ones can be further categorized based on the...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Bioengineering
  • Cosmetic Science

Background:

  • Skin-type analysis traditionally relies on subjective assessments, hindering objective classification.
  • Advancements in cosmetic science and AI dermatology necessitate an objective, data-driven skin-type system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an objective skin-type classification system using only non-invasive bioengineering devices.
  • To establish population-specific reference values for the Korean demographic.
  • To compare these reference values with existing published data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from 434 healthy South Korean adults from the 2018 International Skin Characteristics Data Bank Project.
  • Employed eight non-invasive bioengineering devices to measure key biophysical parameters.
  • Defined reference points using tertile values associated with unfavorable skin characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Proposed a five-category (sensitivity, hydration, oiliness, elasticity, skin tone) and five-subcategory (erythema, roughness, pores, wrinkles, pigmentation) classification.
  • Established specific thresholds for sensitive (TEWL > 18.0 g/m²/h or pH > 5.45), dehydrated (< 47.17 A.U.), oily (> 70 μg/cm²), and loose skin (< 0.68 E/mm).

Conclusions:

  • This study presents the first comprehensive skin-type classification based solely on non-invasive biophysical parameters.
  • The established reference points will be refined with accumulating data and further subdivided by demographic factors.
  • The developed classification system provides a robust foundation for future AI-based skin-type analysis.
