Summary
Indian parents show high interest in preventing atopic dermatitis (AD) in children, but a lack of awareness is a significant barrier. Targeted education is crucial for effective AD prevention and management in pediatric populations.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Dermatology
- Public Health Research
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common sensitive skin condition in children.
- Limited data exists on parental awareness and preventive practices for AD in India.
- This study assesses parental knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning AD in young children.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate parental awareness of atopic dermatitis (AD) prevention strategies.
- To understand parental attitudes towards AD prevention in children under five.
- To identify current parental practices in managing and preventing AD.
Main Methods:
- A nationwide online survey of 1,003 Indian parents of children under five.
- Utilized a 20-item questionnaire with Likert scales for KAP assessment.
- Descriptive statistical analyses were performed, with data stratified by demographics.
Main Results:
- 17.85% prevalence of AD reported among surveyed children.
- High parental interest in AD prevention (89%) and awareness of some strategies (68.49%).
- Lack of awareness was the primary barrier to preventive measures, despite 80.45% attempting them pre-diagnosis.
Conclusions:
- Significant parental interest in AD prevention exists, but awareness gaps are critical barriers.
- Targeted educational initiatives are needed to improve AD management and prevention in India.
- Further research should explore factors influencing parental decision-making in AD interventions.

01:20Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

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...

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.
