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...

Asthma-I: Introduction

2.8K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Development of Immunocompetence

485
The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

1.6K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

807
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Pregnancy involves complex immunological shifts that can manifest as skin conditions.
  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a frequent pregnancy-related skin condition, appearing de novo or as an exacerbation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the immunological mechanisms behind AD during pregnancy.
  • To discuss diagnostic challenges and safe therapeutic strategies for atopic eruption of pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of immunological mechanisms, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of AD in pregnancy.
  • Synthesis of current data on safe and effective interventions.

Main Results:

  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy affect cytokine balance, potentially leading to eczematous lesions (atopic eruption of pregnancy).
  • Diagnosis can be difficult, particularly for new-onset AD in pregnancy.
  • Safe treatments include emollients, topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, UV therapy, and limited systemic options like cyclosporin A.

Conclusions:

  • Atopic dermatitis during pregnancy requires careful diagnosis and management.
  • Treatment strategies prioritize maternal and fetal safety.
  • Further research on newer systemic agents like biologics is needed.
