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...

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...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

3.4K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Papillary Dermis01:11

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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

445
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
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin condition.
  • It affects areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the face and scalp.
  • Clinical presentation can vary, necessitating clear visual diagnostic criteria.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the diverse clinical presentations of seborrhoeic dermatitis.
  • To highlight characteristic dermatological findings in affected individuals.
  • To provide visual references for diagnosing seborrhoeic dermatitis, focusing on facial and cranial regions.

Main Methods:

  • Visual documentation of seborrhoeic dermatitis cases.
  • Detailed description of skin lesions, including scale type, erythema, and pigmentation changes.
  • Focus on lesion distribution, particularly nasolabial folds, eyebrows, and glabellar region.

Main Results:

  • Case A: Female patient with brown-gray greasy scale, petaloid papules, and plaques in nasolabial folds.
  • Case B: Male patient with erythema, scale, and mild postinflammatory hypopigmentation in nasolabial folds.
  • Cases C & D: Male patients exhibiting erythema, scale, and postinflammatory hypopigmentation in nasolabial folds, eyebrows, and glabellar region.

Conclusions:

  • Seborrhoeic dermatitis exhibits varied clinical appearances.
  • Facial areas, including nasolabial folds and eyebrows, are commonly affected.
  • Accurate visual assessment is crucial for diagnosis and management of seborrhoeic dermatitis.
