Mucinoses
Mucins are jelly-like acid glycosaminoglycans (formerly known as mucopolysaccharides) of the ground substances and probably play a part in the extravascular exchange of metabolites. Mucin is normally produced in small quantities by fibroblasts. Acid glycosaminoglycans, such as hyaluronic acid and heparin, stain with toluidine blue, colloidal iron, or with alcian blue at pH 2.5, the coloration depending on the number and nature of the acid groups. PAS stains heparin, but not hyaluronic acid. In general, acid glycosaminoglycans stain much brighter in frozen fixed tissue, or in 1% cetylpyridinium chloride solution, rather than in formalin-fixed biopsies.

Retinoids by dr maria
This document discusses systemic retinoids, including their sources, generations, pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of action, uses, and side effects. It focuses on isotretinoin and its use for severe acne. Isotretinoin is well absorbed from the gut and transported to target cells via intracellular proteins. It has a half-life of about 20 hours and is metabolized and eliminated by the liver. Isotretinoin reduces sebum production and inflammation for acne clearance. Strict monitoring and contraceptive measures are required due to its teratogenicity. Common side effects include dryness, cheilitis and hypertriglyceridemia.
Psoriasis and Management in Primary Care
1. Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disorder characterized by patches of abnormal skin that are typically red, itchy, and scaly. It occurs worldwide and has various clinical subtypes defined by the appearance of the rashes.
2. The pathogenesis of psoriasis involves an interplay between immune system dysfunction, epidermal keratinocyte hyperproliferation, and vascular changes. Genetic and environmental factors contribute to its development.
3. Psoriasis is associated with increased risks of comorbidities like psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. Treatment involves topical agents for mild cases and progresses to phototherapy, systemic drugs, and bi
Chronic actinic dermatitis
Chronic actinic dermatitis is a long-term inflammatory skin disorder caused by sun exposure that presents as itchy eczematous patches on light exposed areas. It can develop from pre-existing conditions like eczema or photosensitivity due to drugs. The pathogenesis involves CD8+ T cells causing a delayed hypersensitivity reaction when normal skin proteins are altered by UV light. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, reduced skin sensitivity to UV light on testing, and histology showing chronic eczema. Treatment focuses on absolute sun protection and topical or oral immunosuppressants depending on severity.

Hartz Companion Animal - Shampoo Therapy in Dogs and Cats
With the availability of effective
topical flea products, shampoo therapy
had fallen by the wayside in veterinary
dermatology. However, recent evidence
has shown that percutaneous absorption
of allergens plays a significant role in
propagating, and possibly even
potentiating, allergies in our pets.
There are several guidelines to convey
to clients regarding the use of veterinary
shampoos. First, the use of cool water
and contact times of 5 to 15 minutes
allow for hydration of the skin and a
sufficient period for penetration and
action of the active shampoo ingredients.
Bathing frequency is also important and
depends on the presence of skin disease
as well as the shampoo to be used.
Anabolic androgenic steroids
Steroids can cause serious health issues when abused, as they are often overused by athletes seeking improved sports performance. People abuse steroids through cycling, using them for periods of time and stopping before starting again. In the brain, steroids bind to androgen and estrogen receptors on cells, immediately affecting the brain. Treatment for steroid abuse generally involves supportive therapy, education on withdrawal symptoms, and sometimes medication to restore hormonal balance disrupted by steroid use.

topical therapy in dermatology
1. Topical therapy involves applying medicaments directly to the skin or mucosa. Drug penetration is inversely related to the thickness of the stratum corneum and maximal over mucous membranes.
2. Percutaneous absorption of drugs occurs via transcellular, intercellular, or transappendageal pathways across or between skin cells or through hair follicles and glands.
3. Proper topical treatment requires selecting an appropriate agent, considering the affected area and disease state, and defining dosage and duration to maximize efficacy and minimize side effects.
Types of Otic Preparations
Otic preparations are pharmaceutical products used to treat conditions of the external and inner ear. They are applied inside, outside, or around the ear to exert therapeutic effects. Common conditions treated include bacterial infections, ear wax impaction, swimmer's ear, and skin disorders of the ear. Otic preparations contain various active ingredients like antibiotics, solvents, corticosteroids, and analgesics depending on the specific condition being treated.
Regulation of erytropioesis
This document summarizes the regulation and production of erythropoietin (EPO) and factors involved in erythropoiesis. EPO is produced mainly in the kidney and promotes red blood cell formation in the bone marrow. Its production is stimulated by hypoxia and regulated by oxygen sensors in the kidney and liver. EPO increases red blood cell production by promoting progenitor cell production, shortening maturation time, and promoting early reticulocyte release. Other general and maturation factors involved in erythropoiesis include growth inducers, vitamins B12 and folic acid, iron, copper, and proteins for hemoglobin and heme synthesis.
EPO
EPO is a performance-enhancing drug that stimulates red blood cell creation, increasing oxygen levels in the body. It allows athletes in endurance sports like cycling and running to maintain steady breathing and not slow down or stop during long distance events. While originally developed to treat medical conditions causing anemia, athletes use EPO to enhance performance and chances of winning. However, EPO is dangerous as it raises hematocrit levels, thickening the blood and risking strokes, heart attacks, and clogged capillaries.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
