Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.9K
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...

Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

2.6K
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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

3.1K
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...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.7K
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...

Introduction to the Integumentary System

6.8K
The integumentary system is the organ system that comprises the skin and its associated structures. It is the largest system in the human body and plays a crucial role in protecting and maintaining homeostasis. The integumentary system serves several functions including protection, regulation, sensation, and secretion.
The skin, which is the primary organ of the integumentary system, consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). The epidermis is the...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Gynecology

Background:

  • Vulvar anatomy and physiology knowledge is limited, leading to unrealistic expectations and anxiety.
  • Neoplastic vulvar dermatoses are treated by gynecologists, while chronic inflammatory types are managed by dermatologists in Germany.
  • Infectious vulvar dermatoses and STIs are treated by both specialties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide basic information on vulvar anatomy and physiology.
  • To summarize diagnostic and management recommendations for common vulvar dermatoses.
  • To focus on chronic inflammatory dermatoses for specialists.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current knowledge on vulvar anatomy and physiology.
  • Summary of diagnostic criteria for common vulvar dermatoses.
  • Outline of management strategies for vulvar dermatoses, with emphasis on chronic inflammatory conditions.

Main Results:

  • Vulva as a transitional skin zone with unique characteristics.
  • Common vulvar dermatoses include neoplastic, inflammatory, and infectious types.
  • Specific conditions like lichen sclerosus preferentially affect the vulva.

Conclusions:

  • Improved understanding of vulvar anatomy and physiology is needed.
  • Clearer diagnostic and management guidelines for vulvar dermatoses are essential.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration and specialized clinics can enhance patient care for vulvar dermatoses.
