Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

417
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.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

3.8K
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...

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

445
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 II: Crohn's Disease

219
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

936
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Uveitis encompasses over 40 eye inflammation diseases with infectious or non-infectious causes.
  • Non-infectious uveitis is frequently associated with systemic autoimmune diseases.
  • This condition affects working-age individuals, potentially impacting independence and employment due to prolonged disease duration and vision loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the ocular manifestations of uveitis linked to systemic autoimmune diseases.
  • To outline the clinical signs associated with uveitis.
  • To discuss treatment strategies aimed at preventing ocular complications and vision loss.

Main Methods:

  • A review of clinical findings in non-infectious uveitis.
  • Examination of current treatment approaches for non-infectious uveitis.

Main Results:

  • Ocular involvement is a common feature across numerous autoimmune diseases.
  • The clinical presentation and severity of uveitis vary significantly among patients.
  • Complications arising from uveitis can lead to irreversible vision loss.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt diagnosis and timely intervention are essential for managing uveitis.
  • Effective treatment can prevent severe ocular complications, preserving visual acuity.
  • Maintaining patient independence and quality of life is a key outcome of successful uveitis management.
