Amyloid Fibrils03:03

Amyloid Fibrils

10.7K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins.  Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils. 
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen.   In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Lysosomal Hydrolases01:22

Lysosomal Hydrolases

4.0K
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

68
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

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...

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...

Protein Import into the Peroxisomes01:27

Protein Import into the Peroxisomes

3.9K
Cells contain membrane-bound organelles called peroxisomes that oxidize organic molecules by transferring hydrogen atoms to oxygen, producing hydrogen peroxide. Peroxisomes enzymatically convert the released hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
Peroxisomal Protein Import:
Peroxisomes lack the genetic machinery required to code for their own proteins. Hence, most peroxisomal membrane, lumenal and transmembrane proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm or ER and transported to the peroxisome...

Summary

Bullous amyloidosis, a rare skin condition, can indicate underlying lymphoproliferative disorders like multiple myeloma. Early recognition is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment of the associated systemic disease.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Amyloidosis encompasses diverse diseases stemming from protein misfolding, forming amyloid fibrils.
  • Cutaneous amyloidosis is common, appearing as primary or secondary to systemic conditions.
  • Bullous skin manifestations in cutaneous amyloidosis are infrequent.

Observation:

  • Bullous amyloidosis exhibits distinct histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and immunofluorescence features.
  • These patterns aid in differentiating it from other blistering diseases.
  • The case involved a woman diagnosed with bullous amyloidosis secondary to multiple myeloma.

Findings:

  • The patient's initial presentation mimicked other bullous dermatoses.
  • Extensive workup was required to confirm bullous amyloidosis and its link to multiple myeloma.
  • Diagnosis was delayed due to initial misdirection by other bullous diseases.

Implications:

  • Bullous amyloidosis necessitates investigation for underlying lymphoproliferative disorders.
  • Prompt diagnosis of bullous amyloidosis can prevent delays in managing systemic conditions like multiple myeloma.
  • Recognizing this rare entity improves patient outcomes by facilitating timely intervention.
