Histoplasmosis is a fungal infection caused by inhaling spores of the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, which is commonly found in bird and bat droppings. Most infections do not cause symptoms, but some people develop flu-like symptoms, chest pain, or disseminated infection affecting multiple organs. Diagnosis involves culturing the fungus from sputum, biopsy, or blood samples and treatment involves antifungal medications such as amphotericin B or itraconazole.

Skin and Soft Tissue Infection (SSTI) is a common problem among injecting drug users. When users run out of veins, injecting drugs subcutaneously introduces bacteria under the skin where infections can develop. Minor infections present as cellulitis - red, swollen, painful skin without pus. More severe infections form abscesses with pockets of pus under the skin. The most serious infection is necrotizing fasciitis, where bacteria rapidly spread between tissues, requiring aggressive surgery to remove dead tissue to prevent systemic infection. Proper wound care including cleaning injection sites can help prevent skin infections.
Skin and Soft tissue infections
This document summarizes various skin and soft tissue infections, including their causes, symptoms, and treatments. Erysipelas is a streptococcal infection of the skin that causes a painful, erythematous rash. Impetigo is a contagious superficial infection commonly caused by streptococci or staphylococci in children. Folliculitis is a bacterial infection of hair follicles that causes papules and pustules. Boils are deeper hair follicle infections forming tender, red swellings. Carbuncles are clusters of interconnected boils. Cellulitis is a spreading bacterial skin infection beneath the skin. Necrotizing fasciitis is a severe infection of the fascia requiring aggressive
Skin infections
This document summarizes various bacterial and viral skin infections. It discusses common bacterial infections like impetigo, ecthyma, and folliculitis which are usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. It also covers viral infections like shingles, chickenpox, and molluscum contagiosum caused by herpes viruses. Additionally, it provides information on fungal infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm caused by various fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. The document describes signs, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for each of these common skin infections.
Acute herpetic gingivostomatitis
Acute herpetic gingivostomatitis (AHG) is a viral infection of the oral mucosa caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1. It occurs most frequently in infants and children under 6 years old and presents with diffuse erythema and edema of the gums, as well as clusters of vesicles dispersed throughout the mouth, lips, palate, and tongue. The symptoms include generalized oral soreness and fever, and the full course of the disease is typically 7-10 days. After the primary infection subsides, the virus can remain latent in nerve tissues and potentially reactivate to cause cold sores.
streptococcus razon
Streptococcus bacteria can cause various infections in humans including skin infections, strep throat, sinus infections, and pneumonia. They appear in chains and are found on the skin, in the oral cavity, and respiratory tract. Cellulitis is a localized skin infection caused by streptococcus bacteria invading through a cut or scrape, causing redness, swelling, and pain in the deepest skin layers, especially on the face or legs. Signs include fever, chills, and general illness. While antibiotics are usually effective, abscesses also require drainage to resolve regardless of the specific bacteria.
Presentation 6
Hives is an outbreak of itchy swollen bumps or plaques on the skin that can appear suddenly due to allergens or for unknown reasons. Phagocytosis is the process where immune cells engulf pathogens, debris, and other particles. Nosocomial means originating or acquired in a hospital, and nosocomial infections are those caught in a hospital that hospitals try to prevent through sanitation protocols and hand washing.
Nikolsky sign
Nikolsky's sign refers to the ability to induce peripheral extension of a blister by applying lateral pressure to the border of an intact blister. It is diagnostic of pemphigus and indicates disease activity, as it will be positive during active stages and negative once treatment begins. The sign is elicited by applying pressure with the thumb over a bony prominence, causing the upper epidermal layers to separate from the lower layers. Variants include marginal and direct Nikolsky's sign, as well as false-Nikolsky's sign seen in subepidermal blistering disorders where pressure pulls apart the blister roof rather than inducing new blistering.

Herpes zoster shingles and chickenpox
A highly contagious viral infection which causes an itchy, blister-like rash on the skin.
Chickenpox is highly contagious to those who haven't had the disease or been vaccinated against it.
The most characteristic symptom is an itchy, blister-like rash on the skin.
Chickenpox can be prevented by a vaccine. Treatment usually involves relieving symptoms, although high-risk groups may receive antiviral medication.A reactivation of the chickenpox virus in the body, causing a painful rash.
Anyone who's had chickenpox may develop shingles. It isn't known what reactivates the virus.
Shingles causes a painful rash that may appear as a stripe of blisters on the torso. Pain can persist even after the rash is gone (this is called post-herpetic neuralgia).
Treatments include pain relief and antiviral medication such as aciclovir or valaciclovir. A chickenpox vaccine in childhood or a shingles vaccine as an adult can minimise the risk of developing shingles.

This document discusses various types of skin and soft tissue infections, including their causes, symptoms, and treatments. It covers primary infections like impetigo caused by streptococci or staphylococci and secondary infections like cellulitis. Deeper infections involving fascia and muscles are also outlined, such as necrotizing fasciitis caused by streptococci or clostridia. The diagnostic process involves specimen collection, microscopy, and bacterial culture and identification. Proper treatment depends on the identified pathogen and may involve antibiotics, surgery, or both.
Cellulitis
Cellulitis is an acute infection of the deeper layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue, caused by bacteria like Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. It presents with redness, warmth, pain and swelling at the affected site and can spread rapidly if not treated promptly with antibiotics. Risk factors include skin injuries, underlying skin conditions, and immunocompromised states. Treatment involves antibiotics targeting the suspected bacteria, along with elevating the limb, applying warm compresses and carefully monitoring the infection site.
soft tissue infection
Cellulitis and soft tissue infections can be either purulent (containing pus) or non-purulent. Common non-purulent soft tissue infections include cellulitis, necrotizing fasciitis, and erysipelas. Cellulitis presents as expanding erythema with signs of inflammation and no pus or well-defined edges. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly spreading infection of the skin and soft tissue including fascia. Risk factors include diabetes, immunosuppression, and obesity. Surgical inspection and debridement are often needed for severe non-purulent infections. Purulent infections include furuncles, carbuncles, and abscesses. Treatment involves incision and

Seminar 4 soft tissue infection
Soft tissue infections like gas gangrene and necrotizing fasciitis are life-threatening bacterial infections that can cause tissue death. Gas gangrene is caused by Clostridium bacteria entering wounds and producing toxins and gas. It requires urgent surgical debridement and antibiotics like penicillin and clindamycin. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive infection of the fascia and soft tissue that spreads along tissue planes. It is classified into types based on causative organisms and risk factors include diabetes and trauma. On exam, it causes skin bullae, discoloration, and edema. Treatment involves emergency radical debridement, broad-spectrum IV antibiotics, and consideration of hyperbaric oxygen. Both
Cellulitis
Cellulitis is an acute spreading bacterial skin infection characterized by redness, warmth, swelling, and pain below the skin surface. It occurs when bacteria enter through a break in the skin barrier and release toxins in subcutaneous tissues. Common causes of skin breaks are abrasions, cuts, ulcers, trauma, or insect bites. Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci are usual causative agents. Signs and symptoms include fever, chills, erythema, swelling, tenderness, pain, and lymphadenopathy. Diagnosis involves history, physical exam, and potentially cultures. Treatment consists of antibiotics, immobilization, elevation, and moist heat depending on severity. Complications can include blood infections, bone

Felon
This document discusses felon, an abscess of the pulp space in the finger. It notes that felon most commonly involves the distal pulp space of the index or thumb finger, resulting from minor trauma such as a finger prick. The pulp space contains fat partitions and becomes a closed compartment, so minor infections can lead to pus collection and increased pressure, compressing the terminal artery and potentially causing gangrene. Treatment involves antibiotics, drainage of the terminal pulp space through a longitudinal incision, and possible amputation of the terminal phalanx if osteomyelitis is present.
Necrotizing fasciitis
Necrotizing fasciitis is a rare but serious bacterial infection that rapidly destroys skin, fat, and muscle tissue. It begins as pain, swelling, and redness in the area of infection. The bacteria release toxins that kill tissue and the infection spreads quickly. Treatment requires intravenous antibiotics, extensive surgery to remove dead tissue, and sometimes amputation of limbs. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent death from shock or organ failure.

This document summarizes a study that analyzed the structural characterization of gamma irradiated poly-(diamino naphthalene) doped poly-(vinyl alcohol) films. The researchers irradiated film samples with different doses and dose rates of gamma radiation and then used X-ray diffraction to analyze changes in crystallinity, peak intensity and width, and domain size before and after irradiation. The results showed that gamma irradiation increased crystallinity, caused peaks to become sharper and shift to lower degrees, occur at higher intensities, and increased domain size. This indicates that gamma irradiation induced cross-linking and formation of helical structures in the polymer films.

Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) by Dr. Himanshu K...
This document summarizes properties, types, and clinical features of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV). Both are DNA viruses that can cause latent infections. HSV causes oral and genital lesions and can rarely affect the nervous system, while VZV causes chickenpox and shingles. Laboratory diagnosis involves microscopy, virus isolation, and molecular methods. Treatment focuses on antiviral drugs like acyclovir. Vaccines exist to prevent chickenpox and reduce shingles risk.
Herpes zoster oticus
- Herpes zoster oticus is caused by reactivation of the varicella zoster virus within the geniculate ganglion, manifesting as severe ear pain and a vesicular rash of the ear canal, ear drum, and surrounding skin. When associated with facial paralysis it is called Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
- Treatment involves antiviral medications like acyclovir to reduce symptoms and complications like postherpetic neuralgia. Corticosteroids may also be used to relieve pain and vertigo.
- Prevention through vaccination is recommended for adults over age 60 who are at higher risk of reactivation.
Herpes Virus and Varicella
HSV are DNA viruses that establish latent infections in hosts. There are 8 human herpesviruses including HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, CMV, EBV, and HHV-6/7/8. HSV-1 typically causes oral lesions while HSV-2 typically causes genital lesions. VZV causes chickenpox during primary infection and shingles during reactivation from latency in nerve ganglia. These viruses are diagnosed via microscopy, antigen/DNA detection, virus isolation, and serology. Antivirals like acyclovir are used to treat infections while vaccination can prevent chickenpox and shingles.

Chicken pox
This document provides an overview of chickenpox (varicella) and herpes zoster (shingles) caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV). It discusses the history, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these diseases. Chickenpox causes a highly contagious rash and fever while shingles results from reactivation of the latent VZV in nerves, causing a painful rash in a dermatomal distribution. Laboratory tests can help diagnose these conditions but they are usually clinically apparent. Vaccination provides effective prevention against chickenpox and reduces shingles risk.
Herpes zoster oticus
Herpes zoster oticus (HZ oticus) is caused by reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus along sensory nerves innervating the ear, commonly manifesting as severe ear pain and a vesicular rash of the external ear canal and pinna. When associated with facial paralysis, it is called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Treatment involves antiviral medications like acyclovir to limit symptoms and corticosteroids to reduce pain, with supportive care as needed. Vaccination is recommended for older adults to prevent herpes zoster.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
