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.

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
  • Immunology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe, rare inflammatory skin disease.
  • GPP is distinct from plaque psoriasis, with unique clinicopathological, immunologic, and genetic profiles.
  • The IL-36 pathway and IL36RN gene mutations are key to GPP pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of GPP.
  • To discuss epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, comorbidities, and treatment strategies.
  • To highlight recent advances in targeted GPP therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Narrative review of existing literature.
  • Analysis of GPP pathogenesis, focusing on the IL-36 pathway.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic criteria and disease severity assessment.

Main Results:

  • GPP diagnosis requires integrated clinical, histopathologic, and laboratory data.
  • GPP flares can cause severe systemic complications, including sepsis and multi-organ failure.
  • Spesolimab is the first targeted therapy approved for GPP flares in Europe and the USA.

Conclusions:

  • GPP management is complex, necessitating a thorough understanding of its distinct features.
  • Targeted therapies based on IL-36 pathway dysregulation represent a significant advancement.
  • Continued research is crucial for optimizing GPP treatment strategies.
