Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

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 Diseases and Disorders

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...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

3.0K
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
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Displaced populations face unique dermatologic challenges stemming from factors like poor sanitation, crowded conditions, and low immunization rates.
  • Prevalent conditions include chronic inflammatory diseases, fungal infections, and scabies, exacerbated by limited access to healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical need for research into dermatologic conditions affecting displaced populations.
  • To identify key challenges and propose solutions for improving dermatologic care in crisis settings.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review of existing literature and expert opinion on dermatologic health in displaced populations.
  • It synthesizes information on contributing factors, prevalent diseases, ethical considerations, and potential interventions.

Main Results:

  • Dermatologic conditions are common and severe in displaced populations.
  • Lack of specialized care and inadequate research funding are significant barriers.
  • Teledermatology and international screening guidelines are promising solutions.

Conclusions:

  • Urgent, equitable research funding and culturally sensitive interventions are necessary.
  • Developing sustainable dermatologic healthcare frameworks is essential for crisis-affected populations.
