Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.1K
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.1K
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 Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

4.5K
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...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

1.1K
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
Introduction
The initial evaluation of a patient's respiratory system...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric healthcare delivery
  • Dermatology access and equity

Background:

  • Skin conditions are common in pediatric primary care, accounting for up to one-third of visits.
  • Pediatric dermatology subspecialty services face significant inaccessibility.
  • Barriers include workforce shortages and geographic, sociocultural, and economic factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify factors limiting access to pediatric dermatology.
  • Review healthcare delivery models to improve pediatric dermatology access.
  • Address existing barriers to pediatric skin care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on pediatric dermatology access.
  • Analysis of innovative healthcare delivery models.
  • Examination of teledermatology's role and potential.

Main Results:

  • Teledermatology offers expanded care, especially for remote and underserved populations, while reducing costs.
  • Innovative models like language-based clinics and embedded dermatology services show promise.
  • Federal legislation and reimbursement parity for telehealth are critical for virtual visit feasibility.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric dermatology remains a highly underserved subspecialty despite access efforts.
  • Improving access requires a multifaceted strategy.
  • Key strategies include workforce development, curriculum diversification, clinician recruitment in underserved areas, and policy advocacy for teledermatology reimbursement.
