Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

4.5K
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...

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Sebaceous Glands

2.3K
A sebaceous gland is a type of oil gland found almost all over the skin ( except palms and soles) and helps lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair. Most sebaceous glands are associated with hair follicles. They generate and excrete sebum, a mixture of lipids, onto the skin surface, thereby naturally lubricating the dry and dead layer of keratinized cells of the stratum corneum, keeping it pliable.
These glands that produce the oils on the skin and hair are holocrine glands. The mature...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.1K
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...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

419
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Glucocorticoids

202
Glucocorticoids, a class of anti-inflammatory drugs, are pivotal in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease by inducing remission. They exhibit their anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, and chemokines like IL-8. In addition, they reduce the expression of inflammatory cell adhesion molecules and inhibit gene transcription of nitric oxide synthase, phospholipase A2, cyclooxygenase-2...

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Immunomodulatory Agents

267
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disorder marked by chronic inflammation of the GI tract. Various treatment strategies for Crohn's disease are employed, such as immunomodulatory agents, glucocorticoids, and biologics or anti-TNF therapy. Azathioprine (Imuran), a commonly used immunomodulatory drug for Crohn's disease, is converted in the body to mercaptopurine, which inhibits purine biosynthesis and cell proliferation. Both are utilized in severe cases of Inflammatory Bowel...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Seborrheic dermatitis is a prevalent, chronic, relapsing skin disorder.
  • It primarily affects areas rich in sebaceous glands, presenting with erythematous patches, oily scales, and flaking.
  • In darker skin tones, erythema may be subtle, with hypopigmentation and scaling being more prominent signs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the clinical presentation and treatment modalities for seborrheic dermatitis.
  • To provide guidance on managing seborrheic dermatitis across different body areas and age groups.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of seborrheic dermatitis clinical presentation and treatment options.
  • Synthesis of information on topical therapies for scalp, face, and body involvement.
  • Inclusion of neonatal seborrheic dermatitis management.

Main Results:

  • Scalp seborrheic dermatitis responds well to antifungal shampoos, corticosteroid solutions, foams, oils, and keratolytic agents.
  • Facial and body seborrheic dermatitis can be treated with antifungal and corticosteroid creams/ointments, and calcineurin inhibitors.
  • Neonatal seborrheic dermatitis (cradle cap) often resolves spontaneously, with conservative or topical treatments for more severe cases.

Conclusions:

  • Seborrheic dermatitis management is tailored to the affected area and severity.
  • A range of topical treatments, including antifungals and corticosteroids, are effective.
  • Neonatal cases typically resolve on their own, with specific interventions for persistent or severe presentations.
