Atopic dermatitis is a long-term skin disease. "Atopic" refers to a
tendency to develop allergy conditions. "Dermatitis" means swelling of
the skin.
Often, the skin gets worse (flares), then it improves or clears up (remissions).
This document discusses different types of eczema/dermatitis, including contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and napkin dermatitis. Contact dermatitis makes up 80% of dermatitis cases and is caused by irritants or allergens. Atopic dermatitis is characterized by itching and a genetic predisposition to allergies. Seborrheic dermatitis commonly affects oily areas of the skin. Napkin dermatitis results from irritation in diaper areas and can be aggravated by moisture. Treatment focuses on identifying and removing irritants, keeping skin moisturized, and using topical corticosteroids or
Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is a common skin condition affecting 20% of patients referred to clinics. It is characterized by redness, swelling, blistering, crusting, and flaking in areas with poorly defined borders. Histologically, eczema shows inflammation of the epidermis and dermis. The causes include allergic and irritant contact dermatitis. Treatment depends on the severity and includes emollients, topical corticosteroids, wet wrap dressings, systemic antibiotics, and avoidance of exacerbating factors. Atopic eczema, the most common form, has a genetic component and usually starts in childhood.

Scabies is a skin infection caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It causes an itchy rash and affects nearly 130 million people worldwide, with prevalence rates in India ranging from 13-59% in rural and urban areas respectively. Scabies presents as itchy papules and vesicles located typically on hands, wrists, feet, and genitalia. It can develop into more severe forms like nodular or crusted scabies in immunocompromised individuals. Treatment involves topical scabicides like permethrin or oral ivermectin. Proper hygiene and avoiding shared items can help prevent transmission.
Eczema, also known as dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The main symptoms include red, itchy, flaky, and cracked skin. There are several types of eczema including atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, xerotic eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis. Treatment involves moisturizers, topical corticosteroids and immunomodulators to reduce inflammation and itching, topical antibiotics to prevent infection, and in severe cases, oral immunosuppressants or phototherapy may be used. Proper skin care and trigger avoidance are also important to managing eczema.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that causes thick, red patches covered with silvery scales, most often occurring on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, and face.

Etiologic Agent:
S. scabiei var. hominis. Thrive and multiply only on human skin, i.e., obligate human parasite.
Transmission
Skin-to-skin contact
Fomites: Mites can remain alive for >2 days on clothing or in bedding; hence, scabies can be acquired without skin-to-skin contact.
intimate personal contact, such as having sexual intercourse
Scabietic (Scabious) Nodule:Inflammatory papule or nodule ;burrow sometimes seen on the surface of a very early lesion.• Distribution : Areola, axillae, scrotum, penis.
Acne is a common skin condition caused by clogged hair follicles and bacterial infection. It presents as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and deeper lumps. Risk factors include genetics and hormones. Types include infantile acne, drug-induced acne, and acne fulminans. Treatment involves topical retinoids and antibiotics for mild to moderate acne, with oral antibiotics and isotretinoin for more severe cases.
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a common chronic skin condition characterized by redness and scaling in areas with many sebaceous glands like the face, scalp, and skin folds. It causes mild flaking of the scalp known as dandruff. Lesions can be itchy or painful and look deep red or purple with pimple-like bumps or blisters. Treatment involves topical anti-fungal creams, steroid creams, or oral anti-fungal medication for deep infections.
Impetigo is a common superficial bacterial skin infection that usually affects children. It is caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria entering through breaks in the skin. There are two main types: bullous impetigo features fluid-filled blisters while non-bullous impetigo has pus-filled sores and yellow crusts. Diagnosis is usually based on symptoms, and treatment involves oral antibiotics such as dicloxacillin or cephalexin. Patients should avoid scratching lesions and sharing personal items to prevent spread of the highly contagious infection.
Scabies is caused by the human itch mite (Sarcoptes scabiei) burrowing into the skin's upper layer where it lives and feeds, laying eggs that mature within two weeks and continuing the cycle. This causes an immune reaction that results in a secondary skin rash and itching, especially at night.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy skin and rashes. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that damage the skin barrier. The exact cause is unknown but may involve a defective skin barrier and immune system abnormalities. Diagnosis is based on characteristic appearance and distribution of rashes as well as personal or family history of atopy. Treatment involves reducing exposure to irritants and allergens, frequent use of emollients, topical corticosteroids for flares, and immunosuppressants for severe cases.
Alopecia refers to hair loss on the scalp or other areas. There are several forms including alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), totalis (total scalp hair loss), and universalis (total body hair loss). Androgenetic alopecia is a hereditary pattern of hair thinning. Scarring alopecias permanently damage hair follicles. While hair loss may be temporary, treatments aim to prevent further loss by addressing underlying causes or using drugs like minoxidil, finasteride, or corticosteroids. Wigs are also an option for cosmetic reasons.
Scabies is caused by the human itch mite Sarcoptes scabiei, which burrows under the skin and lays eggs, causing intense itching and a pimple-like rash. Symptoms usually appear within 4-6 weeks after infestation. Scabies is diagnosed based on appearance of rash and presence of mite burrows, and can be confirmed microscopically. It is treated with prescription scabicides like permethrin or ivermectin, applied to all areas of the body and washed off after the recommended time. Retreatment may be needed if symptoms persist after 2-4 weeks.

Eczema is not a single illness, but rather a name for a group of diseases connected due to similar symptoms. Skin rashes and autoimmune disorders can be described in this way.
Usually, dryness appears on hands, elbows, feet, knees, and the face. Rashes on contaminated areas start to itch and become even more inflamed when scratched. This illness is not infectious, but it is long-lasting.
Moreover, its intensity may change during the lifespan. Some children may overgrow the allergy while others remain highly vulnerable. The current disease can cause additional illnesses. Symptoms and intensity of skin inflammation are specific to each patient.
There is a variety of eczema types. Besides the most popular case, atopic dermatitis, there are about six other disease
variants, different in their methods of treatment and side effects.
All of them should be identified with the help of a specialist to ensure a specific approach for each case. Atopic dermatitis is the most widely spread type of disease. It is common among children and is often associated with asthma and hay fever.
Other types can be triggered by contact with an allergic substance, stress, improper moisturizing, insect bites, temperature shifts, pressure, and even genetic predisposition.
Each case is different in its look and side effects. The only common thing for them is that they are types of sore and dry skin that should not be scratched.
There is no single opinion regarding the cause of eczema. According to the latest research, various types of illnesses are caused by their different principles. Particularly, for the children of eczema-ill parents, the probability of developing the illness is much higher.
Ichthyosis vulgaris is a genetic skin condition caused by a mutation in the filaggrin gene. It causes thick, dry scales to accumulate on the skin due to an inability to shed dead skin cells. It affects about 1 in 200 people and causes itchy, flaky skin that can crack and become infected. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on moisturizing the skin and using medications to slow skin cell production and relieve symptoms.

intestines caused by a virus, bacteria or parasites. Viral gastroenteritis is
the second most common illness in the U.S. It spreads through contaminated food
or water, and contact with an infected person. The best prevention is frequent
hand washing.
Symptoms of
gastroenteritis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, fever
and chills. Most people recover with no treatment.
The most common
problem with gastroenteritis is dehydration. This happens if you do not drink
enough fluids to replace what you lose through vomiting and diarrhea. Dehydration
is most common in babies, young children, the elderly and people with weak
immune systems.
Bacterial gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused by bacteria. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting. Doctors diagnose it by examining patients for dehydration and testing stool samples. Treatment focuses on rehydration. Most cases resolve in a few days without antibiotics. It often occurs from eating contaminated food from improper handling or storage. Proper hygiene and food safety can help prevent bacterial gastroenteritis.
Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. Effective treatment employs both medication and behavioral therapies tailored to the individual, with the goal of stopping drug use and supporting long-term recovery. Treatment approaches may include detoxification, individual/group counseling, therapeutic communities, and medications to ease withdrawal symptoms and prevent relapse. Treatment is most successful when it addresses all aspects of an individual's life and continues over an extended period of time.
Addiction results when a person ingests a
substance (alcohol, cocaine, or nicotine, for example) or repeatedly takes part
in an activity (gambling) that can be pleasurable, but the continued use of
which becomes compulsive and interferes with everyday life.
Common addictions include:
-- Alcohol abuse
-- Drug abuse
-- Exercise abuse
-- Pornography
-- Gambling
Classic symptoms of addiction include
impaired control over substances/behavior, preoccupation with
substance/behavior, continued use despite consequences, and denial. Behavior
patterns and habits associated with addiction are commonly characterized by the
pursuit of immediate gratification, coupled with negative long-term effects.
Physiological dependence results when the
body is unable to function normally in the absence of the substance or
behavior. This state produces the conditions of tolerance and withdrawl.
Tolerance is the result of the body
requiring larger volumes of the substance or stimulus in order to achieve the
original effects.
Withdrawal is the physical and
psychological symptoms experienced when the body no longer receives the
substance in the same quantities it has become reliant upon.
When winter temperatures drop significantly below normal, staying
warm and safe can become a challenge. Extremely cold temperatures
often accompany a winter storm, so you may have to cope with power failures and icy roads. Although staying indoors as much as possible can help reduce the risk of car crashes and falls on the ice, you may also face indoor hazards.
Many homes will be too cold—either due to a power failure or because the heating system isn't adequate for the weather. When people must use space heaters and fireplaces to stay warm, the risk of household fires increases, as well as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exposure to cold temperatures, whether indoors or outside, can cause other serious or life-threatening health problems. Infants and the elderly are particularly at risk, but anyone can be affected. To keep yourself and your family safe, you should know how to prevent cold-related health problems and what to do if a cold-weather health emergency arises. The emergency procedures outlined here are not a substitute for training in first aid. However, these procedures will help you to know when to seek medical care and what to do until help becomes available.
Maintaining a healthy office environment requires attention to chemical hazards, equipment and work station design, physical environment (temperature, humidity, light, noise, ventilation, and space), task design, psychological factors (personal interactions, work pace, job control) and sometimes, chemical or other environmental exposures.
A well-designed office allows each employee to work comfortably without needing to over-reach, sit or stand too long, or use awkward postures (correct ergonomic design). Sometimes, equipment or furniture changes are the best solution to allow employees to work comfortably. On other occasions, the equipment may be satisfactory but the task could be redesigned. For example, studies have shown that those working at computers have less discomfort with short, hourly breaks.
Situations in offices that can lead to injury or illness range from physical hazards (such as cords across walkways, leaving low drawers open, objects falling from overhead) to task-related (speed or repetition, duration, job control, etc.), environmental (chemical or biological sources) or design-related hazards (such as nonadjustable furniture or equipment). Job stress that results when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities or resources of the worker may also result in illness.
When quitting smoking many people feel the need
for help in the form of a tobacco substitute. There are a wide variety of
different products billed as alternatives to smoking that are supposedly healthier.
The main additive in cigarettes that makes them so addictive is
nicotine. Hence most of the products that aim to replace smoking are nicotine
replacements such as nicotine gum, inhalers, patches and medications.
Other products are sold as smokeless tobacco such as snuff and hookah or as better because they are low yield cigarettes. Not all of these smoking substitutes are
healthy or even better than cigarettes.
Tobacco use can lead to nicotine dependence and serious health problems. Cessation can significantly reduce the risk of suffering from smoking-related diseases. Tobacco dependence is a chronic condition that often requires repeated interventions, but effective treatments and helpful resources exist. Smokers can and do quit smoking. In fact, today there are more former smokers than current smokers.
This document provides strategies for reducing alcohol consumption or abstaining from drinking. It suggests keeping track of alcohol intake, setting limits on drinking days and quantities, pacing drinks and having non-alcoholic drinks between alcoholic ones. Avoiding triggers for drinking and planning responses to resist social pressure are also recommended. Practicing refusal skills by role playing expected situations can help build confidence to say no to drink offers. The goal is for the reader to choose strategies that work for them and maintain control over their own drinking choices.
Don't give up
Changing habits such as smoking, overeating, or drinking too much can take a lot of effort, and you may not succeed with the first try. Setbacks are common, but you learn more each time. Each try brings you closer to your goal. Whatever course you choose, give it a fair trial.
If one approach doesn't work, try something else. If a setback happens, get back on track as quickly as possible. In the long run, your chances for success are good.
Research shows that most heavy drinkers, even those with alcoholism, either cut back significantly or quit.
Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is a set of symptoms that people who have a history of alcoholism experience when they stop drinking. People who are casual drinkers rarely have withdrawal symptoms.
People who have gone through withdrawal before are more likely to have withdrawal symptoms each time they quit drinking.
Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal can range from severe to mild, and can include:
-- Insomnia
-- Nightmares
-- Irritability
-- Fatigue
-- Shakes
-- Sweats
-- Anxiety
-- Depression
-- Headaches
-- Decreased appetite
Severe withdrawal symptoms include fever, convulsions and delirium tremens (DTs). Those who experience DTs may become confused, anxious and even have hallucinations. DTs can be very serious if they are not treated by a doctor.

Injury is the #1 killer of children and teens in the United States. In 2009, more than 9,000 youth age 0-19 died from unintentional injuries in the United States. Millions more children suffer injuries requiring treatment in the emergency department. Leading causes of child injury include motor vehicle crashes, suffocation, drowning, poisoning, fires, and falls.1 Child injury is predictable and preventable. It is also among the most under-recognized public health problems facing our country today.
Progress has been made in preventing child injury. Child injury death rates have decreased 29% in the last decade.2 Yet injury is still the leading cause of death for children and teens. More can be done to keep our children safe.
Shiatsu is a physical therapy that supports
and strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself. It works
on the whole person - not just a physical body, but also a psychological,
emotional and spiritual being.
Shiatsu originated in Japan from traditional
Chinese medicine, with influences from more recent Western therapies. Although
shiatsu means ‘finger pressure’ in Japanese, in practise a practitioner uses
touch, comfortable pressure and manipulative techniques to adjust the body’s
physical structure and balance its energy flow. It is a deeply relaxing
experience and regular treatments can alleviate stress and illness and maintain
health and well-being.
