Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists

276
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy.  SP binds and activates...

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...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

186
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Dermatology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Pruritus is a common symptom in liver diseases, especially cholestatic conditions.
  • It can range from mild to severely impacting quality of life.
  • The exact pathophysiology of cholestatic pruritus is not fully understood but is believed to have a mixed origin.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated review of cholestatic pruritus.
  • To summarize its clinical-epidemiological features, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • To emphasize the importance of this condition for dermatologists.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article.
  • It synthesizes current knowledge from existing literature.
  • Focuses on clinical, epidemiological, pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects.

Main Results:

  • Cholestatic pruritus is a frequent and potentially debilitating symptom of liver disease.
  • Current evidence suggests a mixed pathophysiological origin.
  • Dermatologists play a crucial role in diagnosing pruritus when liver disease is suspected.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive understanding of cholestatic pruritus is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
  • Further research into its pathophysiology may reveal new therapeutic targets.
  • Early consideration of cholestasis is vital for patients presenting with unexplained pruritus.
