Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands01:21

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

2.0K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

4.2K
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...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.9K
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...

Reticular Dermis01:15

Reticular Dermis

2.6K
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of the dermis. They are made of connective tissue with fibers of collagen extending from one to the other, making the border between the two somewhat indistinct. The dermal papillae extending into the epidermis belong to the papillary layer, whereas the dense collagen fiber bundles below belong to the reticular layer.
Reticular Layer
Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

3.0K
Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair Growth and Types

1.5K
Hair growth begins with the production of keratinocytes by the basal cells of the hair bulb. As new cells are deposited at the hair bulb, the hair shaft is pushed through the follicle toward the surface. Keratinization is completed as the cells are pushed to the skin surface to form the shaft of hair that is externally visible. The external hair is completely dead and composed entirely of keratin. Hair can be cut or shaven without damaging the hair structure because the cut is superficial. Most...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • SAPHO syndrome is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder affecting bones, joints, and skin.
  • Its etiology is multifactorial, involving genetics, immune dysregulation, and potential bacterial triggers.
  • SAPHO syndrome presents with diverse osteoarticular and dermatological symptoms, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old woman presented with bilateral hand and foot pain, lower back pain, and acne on her upper arms and thighs.
  • The patient's complex symptoms posed a diagnostic challenge.
  • A comprehensive evaluation led to the diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome.

Findings:

  • SAPHO syndrome diagnosis was confirmed through thorough clinical assessment and investigations.
  • Effective symptom management was achieved using adalimumab, a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering SAPHO syndrome in patients with overlapping inflammatory symptoms.

Implications:

  • Early and accurate diagnosis of SAPHO syndrome is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Biologic therapies like adalimumab offer a promising treatment option for refractory SAPHO syndrome.
  • Further research into SAPHO syndrome pathogenesis and treatment is warranted to improve patient outcomes.
