This document discusses the approach to dermatologic diagnosis. There are two main clinical situations - incidental findings like asymptomatic lesions that are medically inconsequential, and important lesions that should not be overlooked like melanomas. The other situation is the chief complaint of the patient, which can be minor problems like localized rashes or more serious skin signs in sick patients. It then lists examples of serious skin signs in sick patients such as generalized rashes with fever, blisters, pustules or scaling that could indicate conditions such as viral exanthems, pustular psoriasis, or exfoliative erythroderma.

Most common derm lesions ddx sx-to-dx stern
The document discusses organizing the differential diagnosis of rashes based on the morphology of the primary lesion. The primary lesion must first be identified before categorizing the eruption's morphology. Common primary lesions include macules, papules, plaques, nodules, vesicles, and bullae. Differential diagnoses are then suggested based on the morphology and distribution of the primary lesion, such as papulosquamous eruptions including eczematous dermatitis, psoriasis, and tinea infections. Folliculopapular eruptions may be caused by acne, rosacea, or folliculitis. Dermal reaction patterns can result from conditions like urticaria, sarcoidosis,

Skin disorders are commonly seen in HIV patients and may be the first sign of infection. They include macular or popular lesions from conditions like drugs, molluscum contagiosum, and candidiasis. Nodular lesions can result from mycobacterium, cryptococcosis, and histoplasmosis. Vesicular or pustular lesions often come from herpes simplex virus or varicella zoster virus. Papulosquamous manifestations include seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, and dermatophyte infections. Systemic issues like splenomegaly and wasting are also associated with advanced HIV.

It begins by listing common skin conditions categorized by symptoms such as itching, pigmentation, crusts, vesicles, pustules, and macules. It then defines dermatology as the study of skin, nails, and hair and discusses the functions and facts about skin. The document outlines important aspects of dermatologic history taking and examination, including describing different types of skin lesions and how their configuration, texture, location, and distribution can provide clues to diagnosis.
F E V E R A N D S K I N R A S H Final
The document provides a summary of common skin rashes that present with fever. It discusses various classifications of rashes including morphological and etiological. Specific conditions are then described in detail, including viral rashes like measles, bacterial infections like Lyme disease, and immune-mediated disorders like erythema nodosum. A full examination and laboratory tests are recommended to identify the underlying cause.
Cutaneous presentation of tumours
Cutaneous presentation of tumours can indicate underlying malignancies. Genodermatoses like Cowden's disease and Gardner syndrome are genetic syndromes associated with increased cancer risks. Paraneoplastic syndromes occur due to circulating factors from cancers and can cause rashes. Examples include Sweet's syndrome seen in leukemia and dermatomyositis which has been linked to several cancer types like ovarian cancer. Certain skin signs may precede a cancer diagnosis, such as acanthosis nigricans and Bazex syndrome seen in gastrointestinal cancers.

Differentionial diagnosis of red and white lesions.pptx
Diagnosis of white lesions can involve a history, clinical examination, and laboratory investigations. The history should explore symptoms, causative factors, medical history, and presence of extraoral lesions. The clinical examination evaluates how the lesion can be wiped or scraped away, its effect on tissue flexibility, presence of striae, and accompanying extraoral manifestations. Laboratory tests like smears, cultures, cytology, biopsy, and immunofluorescence aid diagnosis by identifying microbes, cellular changes, and immunological markers. Certain medications should be avoided in patients due to risk of precipitating lesions or complications.

The document summarizes a clinical trial that compared the blood pressure medication amlodipine to atenolol. The trial found that amlodipine was superior to atenolol in preventing cardiovascular events and reducing the risk of new-onset diabetes. Patients taking atenolol had a higher rate of developing diabetes compared to those taking amlodipine. Therefore, the author recommends switching patients from atenolol to amlodipine to better manage cardiovascular risks and reduce the risk of diabetes.
Cervical Cancer Screening
This document provides guidelines for cervical cancer screening and management of abnormal findings according to the 2007 ASCCP guidelines. Key points include: initiating screening at age 21 or 3 years after first sexual intercourse; transitioning to every 3 year screening after age 30 with 3 normal annual pap smears; diagnostic excisional procedure is recommended for CIN II or III in adults but observation is preferred for adolescents; and endometrial biopsy is recommended for women over 35 with atypical glandular cells to evaluate for endometrial cancer.
Leiomyoma
- Leiomyomas (uterine fibroids) are benign smooth muscle tumors that arise in the myometrium of the uterus and affect 20-75% of women of reproductive age.
- Risk factors include being Black, nulliparity, obesity, and nonsmoking. Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility, and pressure symptoms.
- Lei Moma, a 33-year-old obese African American woman, presents with heavy periods, pelvic pain, and fertility problems. Exam reveals an enlarged, irregular, and tender uterus consistent with multiple fibroids.
Multiple Gestations
This document summarizes key points about multiple gestations including twins and triplets. It notes that the incidence is increasing due to assisted reproductive technologies and discusses the higher risks of preterm delivery, low birth weight, and maternal complications. Management may include selective fetal reduction in early pregnancy or delivery planning based on gestational age and fetal well-being monitoring. Close surveillance is important due to risks of conditions like preeclampsia, growth restriction, and twin-twin transfusion syndrome.

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.

Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology : Sixth Edition (Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas & Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology) (Kindle Locations 651-680). McGraw-Hill. Kindle Edition. APPROACH TO DERMATOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS There are two distinct clinical situations regarding the nature of skin changes: I. Incidental findings o “Bumps and blemishes” many asymptomatic lesions that are medically inconsequential may be present in well and ill persons and are not the reason for the visit to the physician every general physician should be able to recognize these lesions to differentiate them from asymptomatic but important, e.g., malignant, lesions. o Important skin lesions not noted by the patient but that must not be overlooked by the physician e.g., atypical nevi, melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, café-au-lait macules in von Recklinghausen disease, xanthomas. II. Chief complaint of the patient o “Minor” problems: e.g., localized itchy rash, “rash,” rash in groin, nodules such as common moles, seborrheic keratoses. o “4-S”: serious skin signs in sick patients SSSS: SERIOUS SKIN SIGNS IN SICK PATIENTS Generalized red rash with fever Viral exanthems Rickettsial exanthems Drug eruptions Bacterial infections with toxin production. Generalized red rash with blisters and prominent mouth lesions Erythema multiforme (major) Toxic epidermal necrolysis Pemphigus vulgaris Bullous pemphigoid Drug eruptions Generalized red rash with pustules Pustular psoriasis (von Zumbusch) Drug eruptions Generalized rash with vesicles Disseminated herpes simplex Generalized herpes zoster Varicella Drug eruptions Generalized red rash with scaling over whole body Exfoliative erythroderma Generalized wheals and soft tissue swelling Urticaria and angioedema Generalized purpura Thrombocytopenia Purpura fulminans Drug eruptions Generalized purpura that can be palpated Vasculitis Bacterial endocarditis Multiple skin infarcts Meningococcemia Gonococcemia Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy Localized skin infarcts Calciphylaxis Atherosclerosis obliterans Atheroembolization Warfarin necrosis Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome Facial inflammatory edema with fever Erysipelas Lupus erythematosus
