Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.0K
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...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

567
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

498
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

245
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...

Hypersensitivities01:30

Hypersensitivities

843
Hypersensitivity, also known as a hypersensitivity reaction or allergic reaction, is a condition where the body's immune system reacts abnormally to a foreign substance. Such substances, that cause hypersensitivity are referred to as an allergen, could be something typically harmless to most people, like pollen or certain foods.
Types of Hypersensitivities
Hypersensitivity reactions are categorized into four types: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. Each type has a distinct mechanism...

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.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Autoimmune bullous dermatoses (AIBD) encompass diverse conditions marked by skin blisters and autoantibodies.
  • Recent advancements in serological assays have significantly improved AIBD diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and therapy of AIBD.
  • To provide an outlook on current and future diagnostic and therapeutic needs in AIBD management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review summarizing current knowledge on AIBD.
  • Analysis of diagnostic advancements, including serological assays and in vitro/in vivo models.
  • Evaluation of therapeutic progress, including approved treatments and ongoing clinical trials.

Main Results:

  • Diagnosis of AIBD has greatly improved due to standardized serological tests.
  • In vitro and in vivo models aid in understanding disease mechanisms and evaluating new treatments.
  • Rituximab approval and guideline development have advanced patient care, but therapeutic options remain limited.

Conclusions:

  • Despite diagnostic progress, the limited therapeutic armamentarium is the primary challenge in managing AIBD.
  • Ongoing clinical trials offer hope for novel, effective, and safe therapies for AIBD in the near future.
