Eczema is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by redness, blistering, weeping, and crusting. It has both acute and chronic stages. There are many types of eczema classified by etiology as endogenous, exogenous, or combined. Common types include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, dyshidrotic eczema, and stasis dermatitis. Eczema is diagnosed clinically and treatment involves identifying triggers, moisturizing, topical corticosteroids, oral antihistamines, and managing complications.
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).

Dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a group of diseases that results in inflammation of the skin. These diseases are characterized by itchiness, red skin and a rash. In cases of short duration, there may be small blisters
dermatological disease caused by bacterial infection (Staphylococcus aureus & Streptococcus pyrogen) contagious disease but it is easy to cure by taking oral antibiotics and topical antibiotic cream
Scabies is a superficial epidermal infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis.
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.

Eczema - A Case Presentation (by Dr. Julius King Kwedhi)Dr. Julius Kwedhi
Eczema: Come from the Greek name for boiling, a reference to the tiny vesicles (bubbles) that are commonly seen in the early acute stage of the disease
An immune-mediated inflammation of the skin arising from an interaction between genetic (e.g. epidermal barrier function, immune system) and environmental factors (foods, airborne allergens, Staphylococcus aureus colonization on skin due to deficiencies in endogenous antimicrobial peptides, topical products)
The eczemas are a disparate group of diseases, but unified by the presence of itch and, in the acute stages, of oedema (spongiosis) in the epidermis
Dermatitis is a common condition that has many causes and occurs in many forms. It usually involves itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin. Or it may cause the skin to blister, ooze, crust or flake off. Examples of this condition are atopic dermatitis (eczema), dandruff and contact dermatitis.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. 'Ekze', in Greek means “to boil over”.
Eczema is an inflammatory condition of
the skin that is characterized by
erythema, papulo-vesicles, oozing &
crusting in the acute stages &
lichenification in the chronic stages
4. Exogenous eczemas
Mediated by external trigger factors; inherited tendencies
may play a part.
Endogenous eczemas
Mediated by internal factors; that is, processes originating
within the body.
Combined Eczemas
Some types of eczema are precipitated by both external
and internal factors.
5. CLINICAL FEATURES
The inflammatory changes of eczema
evolve through two stages:
◦ Acute eczematous inflammation
◦ Chronic eczematous inflammation
10. DIAGNOSIS OF
ECZEMAS
Diagnosis in most cases, is clinical and based on a
carefully taken history.
Total IgE level to assess if the individual is atopic.
Swabs for culture and sensitivity (Bacterial
resistance)
Microscopy: to rule out dermatophyte infection/
scabies
11. PATCH TEST
Relies on the principle of a type IV hypersensitivity
reaction.
Method used to determine if a specific substance
causes allergic inflammation of the skin.
Commonest antigen used-Nickel.
TECHNIQUE-
Antigens in standardised dilutions applied to the
back and occluded.
Patches removed after 48hrs;read after half hour.
Another reading at 96hr detects delayed reaction.
20. INFANTILE PHASE
3 months-2years.
Itchy papules and vesicles,becoming exudative.
Begins on face;can involve rest of body.
Spares diaper area.
21.
22.
23. CHILDHOOD PHASE
2-12 years.
Dry,leathery and itchy plaques.
Charecteristic feature-Lichenification.
Site-elbow and knee flexors.
Pallor of the face is common; erythema and scaling
occur around the eyes
24.
25. ADULT PHASE
12 years onwards.
Lesions become more diffuse with an underlying
background of erythema.
Face and flexural areas are commonly involved and
is dry and scaly.
Xerosis is prominent.
Lichenification may be present.
34. POMPHOLYX
Dyshydrotic eczema/acute vesiculobullous hand
eczema
It is a skin condition that is characterized by
small blisters on the hands or feet.
35.
36. CLINICAL FEATURES
Summer aggravation.
Recurrent episode of deep seated,bland looking
vesicles(blisters)
Vesicles resolve gradually in 3 to 4 weeks, and
may be followed by chronic eczematous changes.
Sites-fingers,palms and soles.
48. CLINICAL FEATURES
Spectrum of features ranging from dryness,redness or
chapping to an acute caustic burn.
Acute Exudative Lesions-
Exposure to a strong irritant.
Dry Dermatic Lesions-
Chronic repeated exposure to a weak irritant.
49. PATHOGENESIS
Chemical directly injures skin without involving
immunologic pathway.
Develops in patients exposed to chemicals and
develop with 1st exposure itself.
51. ALLERGIC CONTACT
DERMATITIS
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a delayed type of
induced sensitivity (allergy) resulting from cutaneous
contact with a specific allergen to which the patient has
developed a specific sensitivity.
This allergic reaction causes inflammation of the skin
manifested by varying degrees of erythema, edema, and
vesiculation.
55. PATHOGENESIS
Type IV hypersensitivity reaction to exogenous antigens.
Antigen
Processed by antigen presenting cells
Processed antigen+Sensitised lymphocytes
Multiplication of lymphocytes
Release cytokines
Skin injury(inflammation,itching and rashes)
56. CLINICAL FEATURES
MORPHOLOGY
ACUTE ECZEMA
o Progress from erythema to edema to
papulovesiculation.
o Manifest as edema in eyelids and genitalia.
CHRONIC ECZEMA
o Itchy lichenified plaques.
58. PHOTOCONTACT
DERMATITIS
Eczematous condition triggered by an interaction
between an unharmful or less harmful substance
on the skin and ultraviolet light.
Distribution typically on the light exposed areas of
the skin.
Two types:
1. Phototoxic
2. Photoallergic
59. PHOTOTOXIC PHOTOALLERGIC
Common Less Common
Non immunological TYPE IV
Hypersensitivity
Sunburn Eczematous
65. CLINICAL FEATURES
Seen around discharging wounds and ulcers
Presents as an area of advancing erythema
sometimes with microvesicles at the edge around
the lesion
66.
67. DERMATOPHYTID
Eczematous reaction that occurs as an
allergic response to a dermatophyte infection
elsewhere on the skin
Most common dermatophytid is an
inflammation in the hands resulting from a
fungus infection of the feet.
69. Diagnostic criteria
A proven focus of dermatophyte infection.
A positive skin test to a group-specific trichophytin
antigen.
Absence of fungi in the dermatophytid lesion.
Clearing of the dermatophytid after the eradication
of the primary fungal infection.
72. Seborrheic dermatitis is a papulosquamous
disorder patterned on the sebum-rich areas of the
scalp, face, and trunk.
