Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

1.6K
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 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...

Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification

2.6K
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:

Classification of Illness01:17

Classification of Illness

7.1K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

2.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Psoriasis classification lacks uniformity, leading to underestimation of disease severity.
  • Standardized definitions are crucial for improved patient management and professional care.

Framework:

  • Expert consensus developed a modified Delphi methodology based on a systematic literature review.
  • The framework includes classification, severity assessment tools, and patient evaluation considerations for psoriasis.

Implementation:

  • Fifteen statements were formulated for classifying cutaneous and other forms of psoriasis.
  • The consensus addresses tools for severity assessment and therapy considerations, including implementation aspects.

Implications:

  • Establishes a standard classification terminology for diverse psoriasis forms and therapeutic strategies.
  • Emphasizes personalized treatment approaches, adaptable to regional resources and administrative contexts.
