This document discusses various skin conditions related to sun exposure, both acute and chronic. It describes acute sunburn as an inflammatory response to UVB radiation, causing pain, tenderness and erythema. Prolonged sun exposure can lead to chronic conditions like dermatoheliosis or photoaging, characterized by a leathery, wrinkled appearance. Other chronic effects include solar lentigos or age spots, and certain metabolic disorders like porphyria cutanea tarda can be aggravated by sun exposure, presenting as fragile skin in exposed areas. Both topical treatments and lifestyle modifications are used to manage the effects of sun damage on the skin.

Radiotherapy and Skin reaction
This document discusses the effects of ionizing radiation on skin, including both acute and late effects. It notes that radiation can cause a range of skin reactions from mild erythema to moist desquamation and ulceration. The degree of injury depends on factors like total radiation dose and time interval. Acute effects involve cellular and inflammatory changes in the epidermis and dermis over hours to weeks. Late effects like fibrosis, telangiectasias, and delayed wound healing can occur months to years later. Risk factors include age, gender, and technical factors like radiation dose and site. Several scoring systems are presented to grade skin reactions. Treatment focuses on wound care, topical agents, antibiotics and growth factors to promote healing
Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a hypopigmentation disorder characterized by depigmented patches on the skin. It is caused by a loss of melanocytes in the affected areas. There are several proposed mechanisms including genetic predisposition, autoimmune attack on melanocytes, and neural mechanisms. Clinically, it presents as well-circumscribed milky white macules that may coalesce. Treatment involves phototherapy with PUVA or narrowband UVB, topical corticosteroids for localized lesions, and systemic corticosteroids for more widespread or rapidly progressive disease. Surgical interventions like melanocyte transplantation can be used for sites resistant to medical therapy.

Photosensitivity
Certain medications are light-sensitive and can cause photosensitivity reactions when exposed to light, especially sunlight. These reactions include photoallergy and phototoxicity. Photoallergy is an allergic reaction that occurs 0-72 hours after light exposure and causes itchy rashes. Phototoxicity causes skin inflammation and resembles sunburn within minutes to hours of light exposure. Many medications can cause these reactions, including antibiotics, antihistamines, cancer drugs, and heart medications. To prevent photosensitivity reactions, light-sensitive medications are stored in amber-colored packaging such as vials, bottles, ampules, and strips to filter out triggering wavelengths of light.
Ultraviolet principals and applications
Electromagnetic radiation consists of electric and magnetic fields. It can be categorized based on wavelength and frequency, with higher frequency radiation like X-rays and gamma rays being ionizing. Ultraviolet radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is divided into UVA, UVB, and UVC bands. UVA and UVB reach the earth from the sun and can cause effects like erythema, tanning, and vitamin D synthesis in skin. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to premature skin aging and skin cancers. Precautions must be taken when using UV radiation therapeutically to avoid burns and other adverse effects.

ECZEMA - dermatology case presentation
Eczema herpeticum is a skin infection caused by the herpes simplex virus that commonly causes cold sores. It occurs in people with inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis. The herpes virus infects large areas of compromised skin. Symptoms include clusters of small, painful blisters that ooze pus and can cause fever. Prompt diagnosis is important as eczema herpeticum can spread widely and become serious without treatment.
Radiation posioning
Radiation poisoning, also known as radiation sickness, can occur from exposure to ionizing radiation and results in symptoms depending on the dose. Effects range from mild skin reddening at low doses to life-threatening complications involving the hematopoietic, gastrointestinal and neurological systems at high doses. Diagnosis involves monitoring blood counts and markers. Treatment focuses on decontamination, chelation therapy, growth factors and supportive care, with potassium iodide used specifically for radioactive iodine exposure. Prevention emphasizes limiting unnecessary radiation exposure through protective measures and evacuation when advised.
Anatomy
Actinic dermatitis is a skin condition caused by an overreaction of the immune system to substances in the skin altered by UV light. It causes red, inflamed, thickened and itchy skin on areas exposed to sunlight or radiation. Diagnosis involves phototesting and patch testing, and treatment focuses on oral medications, topical steroids and emollients. The condition mainly affects older men and people sensitive to other allergens, and can be prevented by avoiding UV exposure and using sunscreen.

Pigmented birthmarks
Macular stains
Hemangiomas
Port wine stains
Albinism
Melasma
Vitiligo
Skin pigment loss due to sun damage
Other factors that can affect skin pigmentation include: Pregnancy, Addison's disease, Sun exposure.
Some treatments for skin pigmentation disorders include:
Over-the-counter or prescription creams
Topical pimecrolimus or tacrolimus
Light therapy
Melanocytes in the basal epidermis control skin pigmentation through synthesis of melanin, a complex process thought to be primarily regulated by alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH)
Light therapy exposes your skin to a type of ultraviolet (UV) light that can restore your natural skin color. If a large area of your body needs treatment, your dermatologist may prescribe a type of light therapy called phototherapy. During phototherapy, you expose your skin to UV light for a specific amount of time.
Radiation poisoning
Radiation poisoning, also known as radiation sickness, results from excessive exposure to ionizing radiation and can cause immediate, chronic, or delayed health effects. Symptoms depend on radiation dose and can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, bleeding, and increased risk of infection, burns, and cancer. Treatment focuses on decontamination, supportive care, and potentially blocking internal radiation exposure or increasing white blood cell count to prevent infection. Non-ionizing radiation like visible light, microwaves, and radio waves can also cause health issues in high doses through tissue heating.

The document then outlines risk factors for preterm labor including infections, bleeding, smoking, and previous preterm labor. It also describes diagnosing preterm labor and complications for both mother and infant. The management of preterm labor is then outlined, including tocolysis to delay labor, steroid administration to aid lung development, and arranging neonatal intensive care for delivery.
6. Models and Theories.pptx
This document discusses models and theories. It provides definitions of models as hypotheses about relationships between variables that abstract from reality, while theories are systems of ideas intended to explain something. The document outlines contents of models, including variables, relationships, and ways of presentation through tables, graphs or equations. It provides examples of linear and nonlinear models of height and a production possibility curve model showing the tradeoff between two goods given limited resources. Key concepts discussed are dependent and independent variables, opportunity cost, and how a PPC can illustrate the scarcity principle and efficiency.
3morphology.ppt
The document discusses the components of a dermatological evaluation, which includes taking a thorough patient history and conducting a physical examination. A complete physical examination involves inspecting the entire skin and palpating any rashes or lesions. Key aspects of the physical exam are evaluating the morphology, configuration, distribution, color, and texture of skin lesions. Common primary skin lesions include macules, papules, nodules, plaques, vesicles, pustules, and urticaria. Secondary lesions and signs such as scales, crusts, erosions, and ulcers are also examined. Careful documentation of exam findings is important for accurately diagnosing skin conditions.

Family planning...BEST-1.pptx
This document provides information about family planning and contraceptive methods. It discusses that family planning refers to limiting the number of children through contraception, and half of pregnancies in the US are unintended. Contraceptive methods are classified as modern or traditional. Modern methods have lower failure rates and include IUDs, implants, injections, pills, condoms, etc. The document then discusses various contraceptive methods in detail, including their mechanisms of action, effectiveness tiers, and contraindications. Top-tier highly effective methods include IUDs, implants and sterilization. Second-tier include hormonal methods like pills, injections, patch and ring.
Tetanus-1.pptx
Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani bacteria entering the body through wounds and producing neurotoxins. It causes painful muscle spasms and can be fatal. There are different types including generalized tetanus with whole body spasms, neonatal tetanus in infants, and localized tetanus near the wound. Treatment involves controlling spasms, administering tetanus immunoglobulin and antibiotics, and providing supportive care. Prognosis depends on factors like age and how quickly symptoms develop, with neonatal tetanus having over 75% fatality rate without treatment.
MILK .ppt
Milk is the secretion of mammary glands in humans and animals. It provides complete nutrition for newborns as their sole food source. Milk contains water, proteins like casein, lipids, lactose, vitamins, and minerals. Casein proteins make up the majority of milk proteins and give milk its white color when suspended in colloidal casein micelles. When milk is fermented or acidified, casein proteins precipitate out to form curds. Milk's pH, fat content, protein composition and other properties can vary between species and individual animals.
10 Screening.ppt
- Epidemiological screening involves identifying unrecognized disease in asymptomatic individuals to detect disease earlier and improve outcomes.
- For a screening program to be introduced, the condition must be an important health problem, there must be an accepted screening test that is accurate and easy to perform, and treatment started early based on screening should be more effective than treatment after symptoms develop.
- The accuracy of screening tests are determined by their sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value when compared to a gold standard diagnostic test. Sensitivity measures the test's ability to identify true positives while specificity measures its ability to identify true negatives.
Kernicturus-1.ppt
This document discusses neonatal jaundice. It covers the clinical manifestations such as jaundice and signs of prematurity.

It also covers one-way ANOVA, including its assumptions, components of variation, properties of the F-test, and how to run a one-way ANOVA in SPSS. Examples are provided for each statistical test.
1. asphyxia.PPT
This document discusses perinatal asphyxia, including its causes, effects, management, and prevention. Some key points:
- Perinatal asphyxia can be caused by issues with maternal oxygenation, placental blood flow, umbilical cord complications, or prolonged fetal head compression during delivery.
- Effects of asphyxia include hypoxemia, metabolic acidosis, multi-organ dysfunction affecting particularly the brain, kidneys, heart and lungs. Cerebral effects range from reversible synaptic changes to selective neuronal necrosis.
- Management involves maintaining normal oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, fluids, seizures control, and therapeutic hypothermia for severe cases meeting certain criteria.
- Prevention of perin
1. Congestive heart failure.pptx
This document provides an outline and objectives for a seminar on congestive heart failure (CHF) in pediatrics. It defines CHF, discusses the etiology, classification, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, and management principles. The key points are that CHF results from the heart's inability to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, and can be caused by structural or functional cardiac disorders. Compensatory mechanisms initially help maintain cardiac output but eventually fail, leading to symptoms. Management involves treating the underlying cause, controlling congestion, improving cardiac function, and preventing further deterioration.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Adhd Medication Shortage Uk - trinexpharmacy.com

- 1. The Sun & The Skin
- 5. Classification Acute – Sunburn – Plant-induced – Solar urticaria – Idiopathic – Actinic prurigo Chronic –Dermatoheliosis –Chronic actinic dermatitis –Solar lentigo –Solar keratosis –Skin cancer –Metabolic and Nutritional Disorders
- 6. Acute Sun Burn • Acute, delayed, and transient inflammatory response of the skin following exposure to ultraviolet radiation • Caused by UVB • Damage to DNA with excision of pyrimidine diamers is the initiating event
- 7. Acute Sun Burn • Pruritus may be severe even in mild sunburn; pain and tenderness with severe sunburn. • Constitutional symptoms may occur • Confluent erythema, edema, vesicles, and bullae confined strictly to areas of exposure
- 13. Acute Sun Burn • Cool wet dressings, topical corticosteroids, NSAIDs like indocid or Acetylsalcylic acid or in severe cases short course oral prednisolone 20 to 40 mg is used • Usually heals with out scaring
- 14. Phototoxic Drug Eruption • An exaggerated sunburn response (erythema, edema, vesicles, etc.) secondary to drugs • Amiodarone, thiazides, coal tar , doxycycline are some of the known drugs • The damage is due to UVA
- 15. Phototoxic Drug Eruption Three clinical patterns –immediate erythema and urticaria, –delayed sunburn-type pattern –delayed melanin hyperpigmentation Treatment is the same as sun burn
- 19. Photoallergic Drug Eruption • Occurs in small percentage of individuals previously sensitized with the drug , and they have established memory cells. • Halogenated salicylanilides, phenothiazines, sulfonamides with UVA are some of the causes
- 20. Photoallergic Drug Eruption • Resemble allergic contact eczematous dermatitis and pruritis is universal • Photopatch testing with the suspected drug
- 24. Photoallergic Drug Eruption • Avoid all possible causes • Immunosupression with azathipurine plus glucocorticoids or oral cyclosporine may be required.
- 25. Dermatoheliosis (Photoaging) • A syndrome of polymorphic response of various components of the skin • Cumulative effect of chronic sun exposure – UVA, UVB, VL, IR • More severe in fair skin individuals presenting after 40 years of age.
- 26. Dermatoheliosis • Patient appears as wrinkled, wizened, leathery, “prematurely aged. • Other signs of chronic photodamage may be observed
- 29. Dermatoheliosis • Tretinoin, 5-Fluorouracil and sun screens may help. • Generally has poor prognosis
- 30. Solar Lentigo • A circumscribed brown macule resulting from a localized proliferation of melanocytes due to chronic exposure to sunlight • Again more common in fais skinned individuals • Cryosurgery and laser are effective means of treatment
- 35. Porphyria Cutanea Tarda • A photo aggravating metabolic disorder that presents as “fragile skin” of the exposed areas and at times tense bullae • UROGEN decarboxylase deficiency
- 36. Porphyria Cutanea Tarda • Aggravating by alcohol, estrogens, iron, polychlorinated hydrocarbons, high dose chloroquine, diabetes mellitus and hemodialysis
- 40. Porphyria Cutanea Tarda • Avoid ethanol • Phlebotomy • Low dose chloroquine
