Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

2.7K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.4K
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...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

2.1K
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

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...

Papillary Dermis

4.1K
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...

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...

Summary

Papulosquamous disorders can negatively impact pregnancy outcomes, affecting fetal weight and delivery. This review examines these dermatologic conditions during pregnancy and identifies research gaps.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Obstetrics
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Pregnancy significantly affects dermatologic conditions, with potential negative impacts on pregnancy outcomes.
  • Dermatologic disorders can manifest through various pathogenic mechanisms, influencing maternal and fetal health.
  • Papulosquamous disorders are relatively common globally, necessitating a focused review of their impact during gestation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of papulosquamous disorders on pregnancy.
  • To describe the course of papulosquamous disorders throughout pregnancy.
  • To identify and address gaps in the existing literature regarding papulosquamous disorders in pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on papulosquamous disorders and pregnancy.
Keywords:

  • Analysis of pathogenic mechanisms linking dermatologic conditions to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on the management and implications of these disorders during pregnancy.

    • Main Results:

    • Papulosquamous disorders can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including low fetal birth weight and preterm birth.
    • These dermatologic conditions may complicate delivery, potentially causing perineal lacerations.
    • The course and management of papulosquamous disorders during pregnancy require further investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • Papulosquamous disorders represent a significant consideration in obstetric care due to their potential adverse effects on pregnancy.
    • Further research is crucial to elucidate the specific mechanisms and optimize management strategies for papulosquamous disorders in pregnant individuals.
    • Addressing literature gaps will improve understanding and clinical practice concerning these dermatologic conditions in pregnancy.
