    The disease rules all; the patient, except for HLA typing, is in eclipse. Immunology holds the key to new knowledge. Management lingers at present behind scientific advance (systemic lupus erythematosus), or is fired by a new, and possibly overenthusiastic, aggressive spirit (mycosis fungoides). Classification of clinical disease is bound to change (dermatitis herpetiformis). Our concept of Staphylococcus aureus has been widened further (toxic shock syndrome). Psoriasis, a more unpleasant disease than we have cared to admit, may be connected with a generalized enzyme defect. Psoriasis, acne, and other disorders of keratinization respond to newer oral retinoids. Some vignettes of new therapy, new toxicity, new ideas, and old ideas seen anew have been presented.

    Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

    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 EpiSCs...

    Clinical Trials

    Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
    There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...
    Clinical Trials: Overview01:11

    Clinical Trials: Overview

    Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...
    Acne Infection01:27

    Acne Infection

    Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...
