Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.0K
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 Diseases and Disorders

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...

Burn Injuries

2.5K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) management often includes bleach baths.
  • Lack of bathtubs in homes presents a challenge for this treatment.
  • Dilute bleach baths are a common adjunctive therapy for AD.

Discussion:

  • A novel approach adapted bleach baths for children without bathtubs.
  • This involved soaking a cotton pajama suit in dilute bleach solution.
  • The child wore the soaked garment for ten minutes, mimicking tub bath duration.

Key Insights:

  • The pajama soak method was tested in eleven pediatric patients.
  • Satisfactory clinical outcomes were observed in all participants.
  • No adverse effects were reported during the study period.

Outlook:

  • This technique offers a practical alternative for AD management where bathtubs are unavailable.
  • Further research can explore long-term efficacy and broader applicability.
  • This innovation enhances accessibility to bleach bath therapy for children with atopic dermatitis.
