Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.1K
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...

Autoimmune Disorders01:29

Autoimmune Disorders

1.4K
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

736
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

T Cell Types and Functions01:24

T Cell Types and Functions

2.1K
When T cells with CD4 markers are activated, they give rise to two types of effector cells: helper T cells and regulatory T cells. Meanwhile, T cells with CD8 markers differentiate into effector cytotoxic T cells. The differentiation of CD4 T cells into helper T cell subsets, such as Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells, is dependent on the antigen type, antigen-presenting cell, and regulatory cytokines.
Th1 cells stimulate dendritic cells to express necessary co-stimulatory molecules on their surfaces for...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease

939
Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...

Inflammatory Response01:28

Inflammatory Response

15.9K
An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Environmental Health
  • Cutaneous Biology
  • Climate Change Research

Background:

  • Environmental factors, including climate change, are increasingly recognized for their role in skin health.
  • Rising global temperatures, air pollution, UV radiation, and extreme weather events pose significant threats to skin integrity.
  • These climatic factors can directly and indirectly trigger or exacerbate inflammatory skin conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review and summarize existing research on the effects of climatic factors on specific inflammatory skin disorders.
  • To assess the impact of environmental changes on common and rare skin conditions.
  • To provide a consolidated understanding of climate-driven skin pathology.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of studies investigating climate variables and skin disorders.
  • Analysis of research assessing the influence of temperature, air pollution, UV radiation, and extreme weather.
  • Focus on inflammatory skin conditions including psoriasis, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and lupus.

Main Results:

  • Climate-driven factors demonstrably exacerbate inflammatory skin disorders.
  • Increased temperature, air pollution, and UV radiation are linked to worsening of psoriasis and acne.
  • Extreme weather events can precipitate or aggravate conditions such as lupus and seborrheic dermatitis.

Conclusions:

  • Climatic changes represent a significant environmental burden on skin health, leading to increased prevalence and severity of inflammatory dermatoses.
  • Understanding these climate-skin interactions is crucial for public health strategies and clinical management of skin diseases.
  • Further research is warranted to elucidate specific mechanisms and develop targeted interventions against climate-related skin exacerbations.
