Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by abnormal skin cell proliferation and differentiation. It has several subtypes including plaque, guttate, pustular, and nail psoriasis. Treatment involves topical therapies like corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and tar-based treatments. Phototherapy using UVB or PUVA is also used. For more severe cases, systemic therapies like methotrexate, ciclosporin, and biologics that target TNF-α may be used. Psoriasis has links to psoriatic arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease and is triggered by factors like infection, stress, and trauma.
Vitiligo
Melanin is the pigment produced by melanocytes in the skin that determines skin color. It protects the skin from UV damage. Vitiligo is a condition where melanocytes die or stop functioning, causing white patches of skin where no melanin is produced. It can affect any part of the body and is associated with autoimmune diseases. Treatments include cosmetic camouflage, phototherapy (PUVA), topical corticosteroids, and skin grafting. Prognosis varies and vitiligo may continue in cycles of pigment loss and stability.

Acne scar treatment
Acne scarring can be classified as icepick, boxcar, or rolling scars based on their width, depth, and architecture. Treatment options include topical agents, superficial and medium-depth peels, dermabrasion, fillers, fat transfer, needling, fractional photothermolysis, and surgical techniques like excision, grafting, and subcision. Superficial peels improve boxcar scars but may require multiple sessions. Dermabrasion is effective for acne scars but requires proper patient selection and technique. Fillers and fat transfer work best for atrophic depressed scars. Needling induces collagen without damage to induce healing. Surgical techniques are best for deep

AAD Pearls - Dr Ameen Alawadhi
This document provides updates and pearls on various dermatological topics. Some key points include:
- HPV types 16 and 18 do not cause genital warts. Infliximab is more effective than adalimumab for hidradenitis suppurativa. Biopsies should be performed on persistent ulcers in lichen sclerosus patients due to high SCC risk.
- Scraping skin lesions can show positive meningococcal organisms on gram stain in over half of cases, while CSF gram stains are often negative. Rituximab protocols for pemphigus vulgaris include the RA and lymphoma regimens.
- Vitiligo stabilization options include doxycycline
Dermatology 5th year, 4th lecture (Dr. Mohammad Yousif)
The document discusses the sebaceous gland and its role in acne pathogenesis. It describes how sebum composition changes in acne, with increased levels of triglycerides, free fatty acids and other lipids that promote P. acnes bacteria growth and inflammation within pilosebaceous follicles. The four main pathologic features of acne are increased sebum production due to androgens, P. acnes infection, follicular hyperkeratinization, and inflammation.
Phisical treatments in Vitiligo - Prof. Lotti Torello, MD
Melanocytes are not completely absent in the depigmented epidermis
Comment:
A subpopulation of “resistant” epidermal melanocytes can persist independent of disease duration
Repigmentation can always occur independent of disease duration and with non-perifollicular pattern
Acne A Lifelong Problem
Acne develops due to four main factors: epithelial hyperproliferation, excess sebum production, inflammation of sebaceous glands, and action of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. It affects people of all ages but is primarily a disorder of adolescence. Treatment depends on the type and severity of acne, ranging from topical therapies for mild facial acne to oral antibiotics, isotretinoin, or lasers for moderate to severe or scarring acne.

ACNE_VULGARIS_2021[1].pptx
Acne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition that affects the pilosebaceous units. It has a prevalence of 9.4% worldwide and most commonly affects adolescents. The pathophysiology involves increased sebum production, abnormal keratinization, Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, and inflammation. Clinical features include comedones, papules, pustules, nodules, and scarring. Treatment involves a combination of topical retinoids and antibiotics. For severe acne, oral isotretinoin may be used. While acne typically improves by age 25, some experience persistence into adulthood.
Cancer
Cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that can be benign or malignant. It begins with genetic mutations in cell DNA. Some causes include viruses, chemicals, physical agents, and genetic predisposition. Symptoms vary depending on the affected system but may include weakness, weight loss, and pain. Diagnosis involves examinations, imaging tests, biopsies, and tumor marker tests. Cancer is staged based on tumor size and spread. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, and bone marrow transplants. Nursing care focuses on pre-operative teaching, pain management, promoting adjustment, and monitoring for complications.
Vitiligo: A Chronic Skin Disorder
1) Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterized by loss of skin pigmentation and the appearance of white patches on the skin.
2) It affects different parts of the body and can start progressing at any age. While it does not cause physical harm, it can cause psychological issues like low self-esteem.
3) Treatments include topical corticosteroids, immune-modulators like tacrolimus, phototherapy using UV light, and cosmetic cover-ups. Many patients prefer traditional ayurvedic and homeopathic treatments as well.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
