Irritant contact dermatitis is a form of skin inflammation caused by contact with substances that damage the skin barrier. It can be caused by chemicals, environmental factors like heat and friction, or physical agents like wet work. The skin loses oils and moisture, allowing irritants to penetrate and cause inflammation. Symptoms include stinging, burning, redness, swelling and blistering. Treatment focuses on avoiding irritants, using emollients and barrier creams, and topical anti-inflammatory medications.

What is eczema?
Eczema (Dermatitis)-
A particular type of inflammatory reaction of the skin in which there is erythema (reddening), edema (swelling), papules (bumps), and crusting of the skin followed, finally, by lichenification (thickening) and scaling of the skin.
Eczema characteristically causes itching and burning of the skin.
What Causes eczema?
Allergy- One of the commonest cause of Eczema. Triggers include Dust, detergents, rubber, nickel plated jewelry etc.
Environment- More likely in urban areas due to high pollution levels. Extremely dry or cold weather tends to make skin scratchy, resulting in eczema.
Obesity- Obese children are 3 times more likely to get eczema. Obesity results in inflammation of fat tissues that spills into other parts of the body. Excess fat also results in poor circulation and skin ailments.
Smoking- One of the leading causes, especially on the fingers that hold the cigarettes, as well as lips.
Stress- Physical or emotional stress has been known to cause enhanced sensitivity and inflammatory skin changes.
Diaper rash- In babies eczema occurs because of chemical effect of urine/faeces on sensitive skin.
Genetic influence- More likely in individuals with a family history of Eczema or other allergic conditions like Asthma, Hay fever, etc.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis): Symptoms, Causes, Types, and TreatmentEczema Less
Atopic dermatitis, commonly referred to as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by red, itchy rashes and can vary in severity from mild discomfort to significant impairment of daily life.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
2. What is irritant contact dermatitis?
Irritant contact
dermatitis is a form
of skin inflammation
caused by contact
with substances
and/or
environmental
factors that injure the
skin, damaging the
skin barrier.
4. Introduction and general
description
Reversible cellular injury may cause contact urticaria or
dermatitis dependent on the nature of the insult. Where there
is no apparent cellular injury, various sensory symptoms such
as stinging, smarting and burning may occur.
The following types of irritant contact reaction may be
distinguished:
Burns.
Irritant contact dermatitis:
• Acute (toxic) irritant contact dermatitis.
• Cumulative irritant/insult contact dermatitis.
Transient or immediate‐type, non‐immune, contact urticaria.
Symptomatic (subjective) irritant responses.
Other: pigmentary and granulomatous responses and those
localized to appendageal structures

•Atopic hand eczema 22%
•Allergic contact dermatitis 19%
•soaps (22.0% of cases)
•wet work (19.8%)
•petroleum
•products (8.7%), and cutting oils and
coolants (7.8%)
Epidemiology
• Females may be twice as
commonly affected as males
sex
7. Who gets irritant contact dermatitis?
Irritant
contact dermatitis will
affect anyone with
sufficient exposure
to irritants
with atopic dermatitis are
particularly susceptible.
Occupational hand
dermatitis is due to
irritants in 80% of cases
in cleaners, hairdressers,
food handlers,and healthcare
personnel.
Irritant contact dermatitis
can affect all age groups,
both sexes, and any race.
8. What causes irritant contact dermatitis?
Irritant contact dermatitis develops when chemical or physical
agents damage the skin surface faster than the skin can
repair. Irritants remove oils and natural moisturising factor
from the outer layer of the skin, allowing chemical irritants to
penetrate the skin barrier and trigger inflammation.
common skin irritants
1) water, soaps, and, in the era of COVID-19, hand sanitisers.
2) Occupational irritants can include wet work, detergents,
solvents, acids, alkalis, adhesives, and metalworking fluids
3) Topical medications such as retinoids and benzoyl peroxide.
4) Friction, sweating, and heat are examples of environmental
factors

11. Pathophysiology
Skin barrier dysfunction is a key reason for irritation.
skin provides the first and most important line of defence
many substances penetrate readily into and through the
epidermis
principal epidermal barrier resides almost entirely in the
stratum corneum
Damage to the stratum corneum is normally followed by an
increase in percutaneous absorption and in transepidermal
water loss (TEWL)
lipids are arranged as stacked membrane sheets in the
intercellular space and are produced from lamellar granules
in the cells of the granular cell layer of the epidermis
tight junctions between epidermal cells have also been
shown to provide a block to water loss
filaggrin mutations may predispose to irritant contact
dermatitis
12.
13. Mechanism of action of irritants
Detergents :
Destruction of lysosomal enzymes in horny layer causing
dryness and scaling
signs of chronic inflammation increased DNA synthesis,
acanthosis and changes in cellular metabolism
irritants such as croton oil and phenolesters are chemotactic :
for polymorphonuclear leukocytes at non‐toxic concentrations
may cause pustular reactions.
Organic solvents such as methanol or chloroform: will
damage blood vessels, causing hyperaemia.
dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO): effective degranulator of mast
cells
14. barrier disruption has been shown to induce:
release of interleukin 1α (IL‐1α)
upregulation of tumour necrosis factor α
(TNF‐α) and granulocyte–macrophage colony‐stimulating
factor (GM‐CSF).
rise in Langerhans cell‐derived IL‐1α
stimulated by GM‐CSF and IL‐1α production.
the loss of the normal extracellular calcium gradient
stimulates
lamellar body secretion and barrier repair
Oxidative stress also contributes to the development of
inflammation with various
16. Clinical features of irritant contact
dermatitis
Resembles dermatitis of any cause
Usually is confined to the site of contact with the irritant
stinging, smarting, burning
sensations of dryness and tightness, through delayed
stinging.
Irritants may also penetrate skin via appendageal
structures and cause folliculitis.
Burning and pain more common symptoms than itch
Acute dermatitis due to a single severe exposure
Chronic dermatitis due to mild irritants
or repetitive cumulative exposure
17. Comparison between changes in acute
and chronic dermatitis
Acute CD
Localised well-defined,
redness, papules,
swelling, blistering
(vesicles/bullae)
Example: kneeling in wet
cement, which is very
alkaline, causing severe
dermatitis of the knees
Chronic CD
Initial dryness and
cracking of the skin
Evolves to
include inflammatory
changes with redness
and itch
May develop tolerance or
hardening with time
Examples include
dribble rash, napkin
dermatitis, housewife’s e
