External Anatomy of the Kidney01:21

External Anatomy of the Kidney

594
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct01:24

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct

581
The renal tubule is divided into three parts: the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT), the Loop of Henle (LOH), and the distal convoluted tubule (DCT).
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...

Hand hygiene

3.1K
Asepsis is the practice of preventing or breaking the chain of infection. The nurse employs aseptic techniques to prevent the spread of microorganisms and reduce the risk of diseases. Hand hygiene is the cornerstone of aseptic techniques and is classified into medical and surgical asepsis. Medical asepsis includes hand hygiene and the use of gloves. Surgical asepsis, or the sterile technique, refers to practices that render and keep objects and areas free of microorganisms.

Antihypertensive Drugs: Direct Renin Inhibitors01:25

Antihypertensive Drugs: Direct Renin Inhibitors

456
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is an intricate physiological pathway involving numerous enzymes and hormones, including renin, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin I and II, and aldosterone. Imbalances within this system increase the production of angiotensin II and aldosterone. Increased angiotensin II levels promote vasoconstriction and blood pressure elevation. Concurrently, higher aldosterone levels stimulate sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys,...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction01:24

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

56
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management01:30

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

75
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with significant treatment challenges.
  • HS is frequently associated with comorbidities like metabolic syndrome and psychiatric disorders.
  • Diagnostic delays are common, leading to prolonged treatment histories before effective therapies are initiated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent literature on hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).
  • To summarize current treatment strategies, associated comorbidities, and diagnostic challenges in HS.
  • To highlight the evolving landscape of biologic therapies for HS.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of recent publications on HS.
  • Analysis of data regarding treatment outcomes, comorbidities, and diagnostic timelines.
  • Examination of approved and investigational biologic therapies for HS.

Main Results:

  • HS management remains complex due to its chronic inflammatory nature.
  • Significant diagnostic delays contribute to extensive prior treatment regimens.
  • Several biologic therapies, including adalimumab, secukinumab, and bimekizumab, are approved for moderate to severe HS by the EMA.
  • Numerous promising biologics are under investigation for moderate to severe HS.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of HS requires addressing its chronic inflammatory nature and associated comorbidities.
  • Reducing diagnostic delay is critical for timely and appropriate treatment initiation.
  • The development of novel biologic therapies offers significant hope for improved outcomes in moderate to severe HS patients.
