Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives01:14

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

4.4K
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...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Pigmentation01:19

Pigmentation

2.5K
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

Masking and Demasking Agents01:19

Masking and Demasking Agents

2.6K
EDTA titrations may necessitate masking and demasking agents to temporarily protect a particular metal ion in a mixture from the EDTA reaction. These agents facilitate the sequential analysis of the metal ions by forming stable complexes with some—but not all—metal ions during certain steps.
There are many masking agents, such as cyanide, fluoride, triethanolamine, thiourea, and 2,3-bis(sulfanyl)propan-1-ol (formerly 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol), with the masking agent chosen based on...

Tumor Immunotherapy01:27

Tumor Immunotherapy

638
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Psychosocial Health

Background:

  • Skin camouflage therapy uses specialized products to conceal skin conditions and disfigurements.
  • It aims to provide a temporarily normal appearance, offering immediate relief for visible dermatological disorders.
  • These conditions often have a significant psychosocial impact on patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To familiarize dermatologists with skin camouflage therapy.
  • To review its availability, indications, contraindications, techniques, limitations, and future trends.

Main Methods:

  • This article provides a comprehensive overview of skin camouflage therapy.
  • It synthesizes existing knowledge on its application and benefits.

Main Results:

  • Skin camouflage therapy provides significant emotional benefits for patients with visible skin conditions.
  • Despite evidence of benefits, its adoption in clinical practice by dermatologists is low.

Conclusions:

  • Skin camouflage therapy is an underutilized yet beneficial treatment for dermatological disorders.
  • Increased awareness and education can improve its integration into dermatological practice.
