Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.8K
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...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

2.4K
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...

Phases of Wound Repair01:28

Phases of Wound Repair

5.8K
Following injury, the integrity of the injured tissues must be reestablished. For example, in skin tissue, wound repair involves coordination among resident skin cells, blood mononuclear cells, extracellular matrix, growth factors, and cytokines to complete the healing cascade.
Formation of Blood Clot
In case of deep injuries, trauma to blood vessels results in blood loss. In the meantime, phospholipids released from the ruptured endothelial cellular membrane are converted into arachidonic...

Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

261
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Infection01:20

Infection

7.3K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair01:24

Inflammatory Response II: Inflammatory Exudate and Tissue Repair

4.7K
The immune system's inflammatory response destroys the invading pathogen, permitting the tissue to heal. The changes during the cellular and vascular stages allow exudate formation at the site of inflammation. The inflammatory exudate released from the wound has high protein content and a specific gravity above 1.020.
The typical wound exudate is odorless, transparent, straw-colored, thin, and watery. Exudate, however, can differ depending on the state of wound healing. Likewise, the...

Area of Science:

  • Tropical medicine
  • Epidemiology
  • Climate change impacts

Background:

  • Tropical diseases are expanding beyond their traditional geographic boundaries.
  • Increased international travel, migration, and tourism facilitate disease transmission.
  • Climate change and global warming may alter vector distribution and disease prevalence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the growing concern of tropical diseases in the United States.
  • To identify key factors contributing to the resurgence of these diseases.
  • To note the common presentation of skin symptoms in these illnesses.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent epidemiological trends.
  • Analysis of factors influencing disease spread.
  • Clinical observation of disease manifestations.

Main Results:

  • A significant increase in tropical diseases within the United States over the past decade.
  • Identification of global mobility and climate shifts as primary drivers.
  • Observation that skin manifestations are a common symptom of many affected diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Tropical diseases pose an emerging threat to public health in non-tropical regions like the US.
  • Continued vigilance and research are necessary to manage and prevent the spread of these diseases.
  • Awareness of dermatological symptoms can aid in early diagnosis and treatment.
