Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

4.3K
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.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

497
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.

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask01:26

Oxygen Delivering System I: Nasal Cannula and Face Mask

444
The human body requires oxygen to function, and when the natural process of respiration is hindered, external devices, including the following, are needed to help deliver this vital gas.
Nasal Cannula
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split at one end into two prongs and placed in the nostrils. It is typically used to deliver low to medium levels of oxygen.
Suggested flow rate: The suggested flow rate for a nasal cannula typically ranges between 1 and 6 L/min.

Asthma-I: Introduction

2.7K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Face masks are crucial for controlling the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic.
  • The widespread use of face masks has led to a dermatological issue known as "maskne".

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the aetiopathogenesis of maskne.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and characteristic distribution of maskne.
  • To propose management and resolution strategies for maskne.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on maskne aetiopathogenesis and clinical presentation.
  • Analysis of contributing factors: heat, humidity, friction, and microbiome dysbiosis.
  • Synthesis of clinical observations regarding maskne morphology and distribution.

Main Results:

  • Maskne results from a combination of occlusive mask conditions: heat, humidity, friction, and altered skin microbiome.
  • Clinically, maskne resembles acne vulgaris, presenting with comedones and inflammatory lesions.
  • Lesions typically appear in a circular pattern on the mask-covered areas of the face.

Conclusions:

  • Given the continued necessity of face masks, proactive management of maskne is essential.
  • Recommendations include using comfortable, appropriate masks, ensuring periods without masks, and maintaining gentle skincare.
  • Specific topical and systemic therapies may be required for resolution.
