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...

External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

15.2K
The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more...

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

5.5K
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

445
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Uterus and Cervix01:18

Uterus and Cervix

2.4K
The uterus, commonly called the womb, is a vital reproductive organ in females designed to provide a nurturing environment for the implantation and growth of an embryo. It is shaped like a hollow pear and positioned between the urinary bladder and the rectum. The uterus's structure allows it to support and protect a developing fetus throughout pregnancy.
The uterus is securely anchored within the pelvic cavity by paired broad ligaments on either side. It is further stabilized by three pairs...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System01:24

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

1.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Gynecologic Dermatology

Background:

  • Syringomas are benign adnexal tumors originating from sweat ducts.
  • Vulvar syringomas are uncommon, typically presenting bilaterally and asymptomatically.

Observation:

  • Symptomatic vulvar syringomas can manifest as discomfort, burning, and pruritus.
  • Conservative treatments like topical steroids, retinoids, and antihistamines are often insufficient for symptomatic cases.

Findings:

  • This case highlights symptomatic vulvar syringomas refractory to medical management.
  • Successful treatment was achieved using electrodessication and curettage.

Implications:

  • Electrodessication and curettage represent a viable procedural option for refractory vulvar syringomas.
  • Further research may explore optimal management strategies for symptomatic vulvar syringomas.
