Fungal skin infections are commonly affect the outer layer of the skin, nails and hair. Most of the fungi causing infections are usually dermatophytes (tinea), yeast (candida) and molds
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.
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.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

17. Tinea cruris

• Commonly in males.
• Usually spread of the fungus from the feet.
• Inner tights and butt crack (gluteal cleft).
• Tinea cruris Jock Itch
• Causative are T.rubrum, T.interdigitale, and E.floccosum.
19. Symptoms
Common symptoms of jock itch in the affected area
include:
redness
persistent itching
burning sensation
flaking, peeling, or cracking skin
rash that gets worse with exercise or activity
changes in skin color
rash that doesn’t improve, worsens, or spreads after
using OTC hydrocortisone (anti-itch) cream
Jock itch typically affects the groin and inner thighs. It
may spread to the abdomen and buttocks, but it usually
doesn’t develop on the scrotum.
20. MICROSCOPY
Microscopic examination is central to the office diagnosis of any tinea
infection. Material is scraped from an active area of the lesion, placed in a
drop of potassium hydroxide solution and examined under a microscope.
The examination, which can be done quickly and easily, is highly sensitive
and specific for dermatophyte identification.
Diagnosis
Your doctor will likely be able to diagnose jock itch by performing a
physical exam and inspecting the affected area of skin.
In some cases, your doctor may take some scrapings of skin cells from the
area to help diagnose the condition.
so a technician can look at it by:
CULTURE
Because cultures are both expensive and time-consuming,
they are not routinely performed in suspected tinea
infections.
21. Causes
The organisms that cause jock itch thrive in damp, close environments. Jock
itch is caused by a fungus that spreads from person to person or from
sharing contaminated towels or clothing. It's often caused by the same
fungus that causes athlete's foot. The infection often spreads from the feet
to the groin because the fungus can travel on your hands or on a towel.
22. Risk factors
You're at greater risk of jock itch if you:
• Are male
• Are a teen or young adult
• Wear tight underwear
• Are overweight
• Sweat heavily
• Have a weakened immune system
• Have diabetes
23. Then prevention from Tinea cruris
• Wear loose fitting clothing made of cotton or synthetic materials designed to wick
moisture away from the surface.
• Avoid sharing clothing and towels or washcloths.
• Allow the groin to dry completely after showering before covering with clothes
• Antifungal powders or sprays may be used once a day to prevent infection
• Change clothing especially underwear every day .
24.
25. Transmission
Jock itch can spread from one person to another by skin-to-skin contact, especially
in warm, damp environments. It can also spread to other areas of the body if
someone touches the affected area and touches other body parts.
